Good luck to you. It will be a challenge, a big one no doubt, but the
satisfaction of providing a stable life for those children will outweigh
the difficulties (though it will not seem like it).
You might want to look into a name adjustment for the older one, aside
from Homeland Security inter
I have the very distinct feeling that you will find these children to be a
blessing to your family.
I strongly believe your family has made the right choice, good for you!

Well typically, on US cars without the triangle if you pop the trunk
when it gets fully open it will bounce a couple of times. That is
because the triangle is missing. With it installed, the precise german
engineering has it to where the trunk will just open and not bounce.

A big life change for all of you. Best for them, I suspect - and will have
lots of rewards eventually for you two, also. It is some of those 'in
between times' that are not much fun. It is a good a decent thing for you
and Regina to do, though. All the best.

Right. S stands for wagon, or turnier, and W is short for sedan.

the dealer that did the last replacement of mine seemed willing enough
to replace it just because they looked it up on the computer and saw
there was an open campaign on it, not because there was any sign of any
trouble with it. (the computer showed it had been done back at about
