Single parents

I am a single woman adopting through the foster care system in California. My social worker initially encouraged me to consider sibling groups because the need is so great and my wait for a match would be shorter. She told me that based on the size of my home (3 bedrooms), I could take up to 4! I decided against it because I was afraid I would be overwhelmed. Now, I am the pre-adoptive home for a baby girl that was placed with me at birth 6 weeks ago. We are waiting for the TPR trial so I still have a long ways to go before the adoption can be finalized, but still my social worker has already asked me if I want her to start looking for #2. I discovered that I LOVE being a mom so I am seriously considering it.

Thank you. I have a 3 bedroom as well. I hope Ky is the same as Ca.

I live in a big 2-bedroom townhome.....my second bedroom is a master size with own bathroom. I put in for up to 2 because in CA only 2 kids can share a room and they have to be same gender. I ended up with a baby that is now stationed in my room :woohoo: TPR is happening in 3 weeks.... today isn't a good time to talk about adding another one only because she has a bad ear infection and I haven't slept well in 3 days, but I'm sure I'll want to pursue another girl :woohoo:

I wonder if I could get this one SG I want. its a group of a 5, 4, 3 & 1 year olds. IҒm going to ask about them. I'm sure they'll say it would be too much for me or something.

doesn't hurt to ask. If they don't think you're a good match, just going by my experience, I'm going to say that it won't have any reflection on your marital status, however, it's always good to reflect if you can be a good home and do what it takes...especially if you have to take time off work for more than one child if they have frequent services or something. Good luck.
