Marie said that before the last three were adopted, the kids had asked her during a car ride whether they'd have a party once Michelle, Gregory and Jacob legally became part of the family.
"We're going to have a 'We're-not-adopting-any-more adoption party,' " Marie joked.
"The car was silent, which made me start looking in the rearview mirror because they're never silent," Marie said.
"The older one said, 'You can't do that, Mom.' I said, 'Do what? Aren't you guys tired of being crowded and sharing and everything?' "
Marie's voice cracked as she recalled Makayla's reply: " 'You don't know what it's like. You can't say no. If somebody needs us, we need to be there.' "
The rest is here.
