Yesterday we finalized our adoption of our 3rd child (18m boy) and we also have a 6yo and a 7yo, all from foster care. While at court, we were encouraged to look at a sib group of 6 children to adopt. The ages of of the children are basically the same as ours and are as well adjusted as can be expected for foster children. They are concerned that the group will not be kept together if someone doesn't step up and we would all hate for that to happen.
My wife really wants to look into it but I'm a little more concerned about the logistics of handling 9 children under the age of 8. Right now, both my wife and I work, but if we adopted them, she would stay home the subsidy would need to be able to cover what we lost from her job and the increased expenses.
