How did I gain three siblings in six months, and how do I deal with them? The summer after seventh grade, my parents got a long overdue divorce. Since the need for the split was critical, they both found love soon after they finalized their separation. My dad met Adrienne in June. She had two little girls with sunshine hair trailing her the first time I saw her: 2-year-old Tegan and 5-year-old Isla.
