The Children of Strangers
Sue and Hector Badeau adopted twenty children who needed a homebut there were
always more.

AMERICAN CHRONICLES

.
.
When Sue Hoag was twelve, she read a book, The Family Nobody Wanted, about a
couple in the nineteen-forties who adopted a
multiracial posse of twelve children, despite having very little room or money.
Sue thought it would be wonderful to be part
of such a family, and she begged her parents to adopt. They had only four kids
in their family, she pleadedsurely there was
room for more. Her parents said no. But Sue kept thinking about the book, and
by the time she was fifteen she had met her
future husband, Hector Badeau, and by the time she was eighteen she and Hector
had planned their family: they would have two
kids and adopt two. By the time they were four years out of college and four
years married, they had had the two kids and
adopted the two kids and thought their family was complete.
.
But there were more than two children in the world who needed parents. There
were so many children who, because they were
too old, or too violent, or too traumatized, or unable to walk, or too close to
death, or the wrong color, or had too many
brothers and sisters, were unlikely ever to be adopted; and when Hector and Sue
thought about what those childrens lives
would be like without parents, lives that were already unimaginably difficult,
they could not bear it. So by the time Sue
was twenty-eight and Hector was thirty, they had had two kids and adopted nine,
and by the end of the following year they
had had two kids and adopted fourteen; and long before they adopted their last,
twenty-second child, eleven years later, the
four-child family they had imagined in high school was a distant memory, and
something wilder and more explosive, more
exhilarating and more crushing and unfathomably more complicated, had taken its
place.
.
Terrible, painful things happened that they were not able to preventthree
children dead, two in prison, teen-age
pregnancies, divorces. But there were also birthday parties and weddings and
graduations; there were grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, most of them still living in the same neighborhood, within
a few blocks of one another and their
parents, in and out of one anothers homes all the time, minding one anothers
children. And every Easter and Fourth of July
and Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years the children and the grandchildren
and the great-grandchildren gathered with
Sue and Hector in the big house they still lived in, although they couldnt
afford it, and ate a meal together. And though
some were missingthree dead, two in prisonstill, most were there, year after
year, and, for everything that had happened,
they were a family.
.
Twenty-two children didnt seem as strange to Hector as it did to most people,
because he came from sixteen. His mother,
Delvina, was born on a farm in Quebec, and went to school through the eighth
grade; his father, Philorum, left school in
Montreal at nine to earn money chopping wood. Philorum married Delvina and
moved to Barre, Vermont, in search of work,
though neither of them spoke English. He found a job in the quarries as a
stonecutter. Of their sixteen children, fifteen
livedthe fifth died at three, falling down the stairs. Hector was the twelfth,
born in 1956. They were poor: the most
Philorum ever made was a hundred dollars a week. The younger boys slept six to
a bed.
.
Philorum was a harsh father, strict and unloving. He drank a lot, and was often
gone all weekend on a bender. When he came
home, sometimes he beat the kids with a horsewhip or an electrical cord. By the
time Hector was twelve, he had decided that
he disliked his father, and that when he grew up he would be a father who spent
time with his kids and told them he loved
them.
.
The Badeau boys were known for hockey, but Hector was the best of them, the
star of Spaulding High School. He had curly
hair, and in high school he grew it out into a giant seventies Afro with a
mustache to match. The coach wanted him to try
out for the pros, but by then he had met Sue. He spotted her in the fall of
1973, playing field hockey. She was prettyshe
had been crowned Junior Miss of Barre, and was first runner-up in the state
beauty pageant.
.
In their town, Sues family seemed well off. Both her parents had gone to
college; her father was an engineer for the state
highway department, her mother was a dental hygienist. They led Brownie troops
and Girl Scout troops and coached Little
League. Their house was nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. Sue came from
the kind of family Hector wanted to belong
to. After six months, he knew that Sue was the girl for him.
