Couple Adopts 7 Biological Siblings: ‘These Children Need a Home — We Have a Home’
Inspirational 11:39 AM PST, December 19, 2017 – Inside Edition Staff
A Florida couple who adopted seven children earlier this year is excited to be spending their first Christmas together as a family.
Sofia and DaShoan Olds, who have no biological children, adopted biological siblings Necia, Eric and Erica, Zavian, Dava, Keyon and Gentry in September after seeing the kids’ story on the news earlier this year.
“My wife sends me a Facebook message of a local news story about seven children who needed to find a home for the holidays and she asked me how I liked the idea,” DaShoan Olds told InsideEdition.com. “I said I liked the idea and, ‘Let’s see if we can make it happen.’”
That’s when the Olds, who both served overseas in Iraq, inquired about taking the children home with them.
Prior to their adoption, the kids had been living in separate foster homes but really wanted to find a home where they could all live together.
“We took our parenting classes in January. We sponsored them for birthdays, just volunteers at first and then they came to live out our house on June 2,” DaShoan Olds said. “We’re happy. We’re busier than ever, but we’re enjoying every moment, every day.”
The pair had always planned to adopt but thought it would involve just one or two children.
“It was just in the back of our mind, but we didn’t really focus on it then we saw the story and it was just like a light bulb that went off to say like, ‘This is for us. This is our time,’ Olds said. “These children need a home, we have a home. It’s time for us to be a blessing and take home these children.”
The couple adopted the seven children officially on Sept. 14. They feel like it was fate.
“It is somewhat easy because it’s like doing something you’re supposed to do. When you find a job that you love, it’s not really work,” Olds said.
The family plans to take a vacation for Christmas so the children can meet the rest of their new family.

This is very preliminary math but right now – even factoring in all the gerrymandering – Democrats win at least 38 GOP US House seats at current numbers – and it could go as high as 60. My best current guess: Mid 40s. If you are thinking of running, DO IT.

Trump World plans line of attack against Michael Flynn
12/28/17 02:06 PM
By Steve Benen
Back in May, The Atlantic had an interesting piece quoting a source close to the White House saying Donald Trump is “worried about” Michael Flynn, the former National Security Adviser.
“[Trump] has questioned whether or not he should have fired Flynn,” the source said at the time. “They don’t know what Flynn’s going to say.”
They still don’t. The difference is, Flynn has now pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his communications with Russia, and recently agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. What happens if the former National Security Adviser shares damaging information about the president and his team? The Washington Post reported overnight that Trump World has a plan.
……………………………………..
Of course, if the president and those in his immediate orbit didn’t do anything wrong, they shouldn’t be worried. The fact that they’re creating contingency strategies – which are being leaked to the press, warning Flynn of what’s coming – suggests Trump World isn’t altogether confident about the road ahead.
This quote from BJ is on point:
About Alabama:
These muthaphuckas closed every DMV office in a Black county, have a ridiculous poll tax Voter ID law, and still folks came out to vote.
We have NUMEROUS instances of Attempted Voter Suppression from election day.
Get the ENTIRE phuck outta here calling Voter Fraud
Fuck Moore & the horse he rode in on.
Voter fraud always = BLACK VOTERS, TO THESE CRETINS.
Fabulous video! May there be many more like it. Positive messages have an impact.
Thanks for posting it, Ametia.
I like to look for positive quotations frequently. Here is one I found today:

This is just so unbelievably tragic. A young woman, only 27 years old.
My heart cries for Erica. So sad. So heartbreaking.
May the Lord be present with her and enfold her with His Love.

@ametia I heard it’s cold AF in Minnesota!
I just looked at the 10 day forecast for Minneapolis on weather.com. The really cold weather is coming up on Saturday and Sunday, high is -6% on Sat, low is -14%.
I hope Ametia is staying warm.
I meant degrees not percentage…
Hi Liza.
It’s cold as a well digger’s arse.
It’s cold as a witches tit in a brass bra.
LMAO. Put on that fur coat and stay by the fireplace.
Brrr… Be careful and stay warm Ametia.
Hi Everyone, It’s cold, but we’re keeping safe & warm, I’ve been healing from 2 herniated disk, L2 & L5, since Christmas day. Spent 4 hours in the emergency room.
AWL. Feel better. Back pain is no joke. Take care of yourself. Stay warm.
I am so sorry to learn about your back problem. Please take good care of yourself, Ametia.
OMG, Ametia. Sorry to hear that, back pain is so miserable.
I can’t believe what I’m reading. TOO SAD! 😢

You had your chance and blew it @SenatorCollins. People begged you not to vote for the #GOPTaxScamBill and you called police on protesters. Resign and go away!
