Is this crazy???
| Wed, 09-07-2005 - 9:41pm |
Hi,
Guess I'm a lurker but I've come out of lurkdom to ask this question. It weighs heavily on my mind these days...
My DH and I are trying to adopt these twin boys (3.5 years old). We are done with the licensing process and are doing pre-adoptive visits with them. We also have 2 birth children ages 4 and 1. I am a SAHM and my Dh has a career that fully absorbs him (80+ hours a week). Am I crazy to think that I can take care of all these young children??
Also my other quandry is this...I want another baby....ahhh....I just don't know how to ask these questions, how to determine what is too much...
I'm 25 so I realize i have plenty of time to have kids...but please...some thoughts?
Jenn



Hi Jenn. Have you been here before? I know your membername from somewhere.
I of course do not think it is crazy at all! I have two boys and a baby on the way next year. When the baby is about a year old we have plans to adopt a sibling set of two or three that will be younger than our oldest and older than our 3 year old.
I am one of those people that just gets so happy when I have a large group of kids around. I once even had a job at a church taking care of 50 to 60 kids at a time in a gym. I just seem to thrive in these types of situations. The more kids I have around me the more organized I get.
We do have one lady here with a very large family, but I have not seen her here in a while. You might want to check this board out.... http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-pslarge
