by Mom Of 7 Shares Her Family’s Journey Through Mɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇs ᴀɴᴅ Aᴅᴏᴘᴛɪᴏɴ To A Happy Ending
Megan’s family looks like something out of a fairy-tale.
Megan Weber Nettles is a true inspiration. A self-described “wife to the coolest human” and a “homeschool mum” of seven children. She is dedicated to changing the world by raising them in the most loving and nurturing way. If everyone committed to at least one act of kindness every single day, can you imagine how much better our world would become? Megan ɪs ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ᴘʀᴏᴏF of that.
Times are changing at the speed of light and having a large family nowadays is not as common as it used to be even half a century ago. In fact, it is probably not for everyone anyway. Neither is adoption, yet Megan and her husband Clay, despite having a lot of children already, decided to adopt a few more.
She and her husband met when they both were university students.
At the beginning, Megan went through several ᴘᴀɪɴFᴜʟ ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇs. After that, she tried to get pregnant again but with no results, which is always ᴅᴇᴠᴀsᴛᴀᴛɪɴɢ for any woman who wants a child. Megan was relentlessly persistent to get what she had always wanted: a large family. Before she was finally able to give birth, she had adopted a child, which was like a ʙʟᴇssɪɴɢ Fʀᴏᴍ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ.
Now they have seven children, two of them are ᴀᴅᴏᴘᴛᴇᴅ. According to Megan, “There is no difference between your ᴀᴅᴏᴘᴛᴇᴅ children and your biological children. <…> We love every last bit of every last one of them. We work really hard at letting each of them be exactly who they are.”
Apart from her full-time job as a mother, Megan actively participates in humanitarian work. As someone who has been trained as a paediatric nurse, she went on a trip to Haiti in October 2021, where she will be doing teacher training. According to Megan, this whole experience of being in a beautiful but ʜᴀʀsʜ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛʀʏ ɪs ᴠᴇʀʏ ʜᴜᴍʙʟɪɴɢ. So far, she has helped develop the school curriculum as well as been teaching children about art.
