"You must be crazy." I hear this phrase quite often whenever I am out and about with my unbelievably enormous clan of 9 children. This seems to be the most popular, albeit least creative thing I have...
Sunshine Peterman is the mother to 9 children, 5 of whom were adopted from Indiana foster care. Their age ranges are 15-8. She knows the foster care system as both an adoptive advocate and as a child. As a teen, Sunshine and her sister were made wards of the state of Indiana and placed in foster care. That experience has lead her to be the voice for children whose own cries are often silent.
