I remember thinking the hardest part of raising twins was the exhaustion. I was wrong because the real shock came the evening I opened the nanny cam app and saw something that made my blood run cold.I have 11-month-old twin boys.

Mark grew up in foster care, moving from one home to another. We didn’t have grandparents to call or a backup plan.
