Tulisa and Toby

part 4

Well I can remember the first time we got Tulisa. She was very quiet and wouldn't say anything but now that we've had her in our care for a while, she is more opinionated and talks a lot more. You cannot get her to be quiet sometimes. It's like running commentary on something when she speaks.I think getting Toby helped her come out of her shell,without him she would of been quiet still.You can always hear her laughing or running up and down the hall way as she plays with Toby. They are never separated. I really feel like she is our own daughter. She has grown so much and even the extended family can now speak to her and she doesn't get afraid of them.Having a daughter is amazing and Toby is a son to us but hopefully one day we will have a human son.I miss Tulisa when I am at work but as soon as I get home I am greeted with hugs and kisses. She is the most sweetest little girl. You wouldn't believe what had happened to her in the past. She has over come it. Yes, we've had difficult times but with the determination and guidance we have done it. I am so proud of my little girl.We didnt want to send her to school so me and my wife decided it would be best to home school her but we take her to kids clubs at the weekends so she can play with children her own age.At first she seemed quiet hesitant to play with the other children but as we kept going she kept opening up more to them and playing. Now she has a small group of friends and they always play together and have sleep overs and girls parties and everything.I don't know what I would do without Tulisa and Toby as they bring so much fun after a hard day at work. It is amazing watching her grow up and she is always trying to be on her best behavior while I am at work and her mum is teaching her. I think if we ever had to go back to life before we adopted Tulisa and brought Toby it will be hard as they are part of our family, even just losing one of then will be hard.
