Question by insurance 14: One man added eight kids to family after his wife died of cancer?
(OPRAH.com) — Oprah Winfrey often says that moms have the hardest job in the world, but plenty of fathers carry the burden of raising a child all by themselves. In fact, 2.5 million single fathers in the United State are doing it all– juggling schedules, putting food on the table and going to school plays or soccer games — single-handedly.

Larry Shine and his wife, Kate, had their first son, Henry, 19 years ago. When Kate died of cancer only two-and-a-half years later, Larry says he was overwhelmed with grief.

“The year after she died, I was just so immersed in the tragedy of her death,” he says. “Then I thought: ‘I can’t live like this anymore. I can’t have this be our life.'”

He decided it was time for Henry to have a sibling.

At the time, it was almost impossible for a single male to adopt in the United States, so Larry applied for both international adoption and surrogacy. Surprisingly, both applications went through, and soon Larry became a father of three.

Still, he says he was ready for more. Today, Larry is raising nine children on his own!
