I just joined the forum and hope someone still reads these posts!
We have 3 daughters ages 12, 9 and 8 and are considering adoption of 4 boys ages 9, 8, 8 and 7. What will this do to birth order ideals?
Our "baby" is no longer baby- which would be "normal", the "baby" (7 year old) stays "baby". The middle kids all stay middle kids, our oldest (12) stays oldest but the oldest boy (9) becomes 2nd or possibly 3rd oldest depending on birthdays.
In the end it becomes 12, 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 7. We don't know birthdays yet so 9 year old girl 9 year old boy could reversed and the 8 year old twin boys could be older or younger than our 8 year old girl.
What do you do for school...basically it's like having twins and triplets. I don't know what the real twins school placement is now (together or separate classes) so that will be a factor. We are homeschooling the 8 and 9 year old girls in fall, so we might not have to deal with this unless they go back to traditional school in the future.
THANKS! I can't wait to hear answers!
