Allison and Daniel Hartman have 11 children ranging in age from 3 to 25. Parenting for a quarter century, with another decade-and-a-half in front of them, Allison said the Hartmans have “kind of a different take on raising a family.”

With her church leaders’ blessing, Allison organized the “Raising Adults, Not Children” conference, to be held from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, at Woodbine Baptist Church, 4912 Woodbine Road.
