Well, not a new addition because he's always been a part of the family but I talked with Social Services this morning and it's been decided my 7 year old nephew is going to live with my girlfriend, my kids and I.

I'm a bit scared but I hope I can be a good father to him because he is a great kid New Addition to the Family I know this means getting better and keeping in control of my life but this is all for the best.

Just thought I'd let everyone know!

It takes a good person to step up to this sort of responsibility and be loving about it. It's great your nephew has you.

Wow Ledgewood, that sounds wonderful. It is really awesome that you are taking on the responsibilities of being a father to another child. I really admire you. I know it might be tough, but I am sure you will be great at it.

Ledgewood,

I think it's great and very kind and caring that you're taking in your nephew. It shows what a special person you are.

You have a very generous and loving heart to take under your wing the little fellow; I wish all your family lots and lots of love and happiness.

I really have to give you a lot of credit for a man your age taking on so much responsibility. I think it is wonderful of you to take your nephew in. I am sure you will be a wonderful dad to all three children!
