Welcome to our blog, "One Egg Short of a Dozen". With eleven people in this family the title of the blog is obvious. Some people may say we are "one egg short of a dozen" for having this many kids! Well, we just might be a bunch of cracked eggs who fell off a wall but we have fun and call ourselves a FAMILY. Join us on the adventures that we seem to fall into on our adoption journeys and family life! You never know what concoction this carton of eggs will come up with.

About Me
- Melissa Carter
- Florence, Alabama, United States
- Hello! We are the Carter family. Welcome to our blog. I want to expand my networking to reach as many people about the world of adoption and orphans as possible. My name is Melissa and my husband Duane and I have 10 kids. All of them are adopted except one. 8 of them live with us here in CA while one of our daughters have gotten married and one moved from home. Our kids are ages 23,22,20,20,17,15,11,6,9,9,5. WE ARE THE WORLD! We have kids from almost every continent except South America, Australia and Anartica(and we say that one doesn't count).Our kids come from Romania, Bulgaria, USA, China and Uganda. It is definitely not boring around here! I, Melissa, am a watercolor artist and use my art work to raise awareness about adoption and orphan relief. I have other websites you can visit as well. Feel at home, browse around and stay awhile.
