Good Luck!

The standards for AF are if you adopt i.e. two boys or two girls and both are under the age of ten, they are expected to share a room. If the kids are of the opposite sex they get separate rooms or if one of the siblings is over ten they will also get seperate bedrooms. As far as I know if you already live on base, and you require a larger house it usually doesn't take long, you get preference. You should still check with your housing office and make sure that that's their policy as well. Hope this helps, oh, and as the other reply said, it's always good to get things in writing.

Hi! My husband have been a Navy family and living in base housing for over 6 years now. I know that most bases (depending on the availibility of housing) are more than happy to "upgrade" their military personell to larger homes to prepare for a new addition to the family. I think that the best thing to do is call your base housing cordinator and see what the procedure is for applying for a larger home...... Good luck... and GO NAVY! :D

Hi,
We are a military family living on AF housing. When we were adopting our two boys, We requested a larger house from the housing office. All it took was a letter from the adoption agency telling housing that we would be getting two more children. Talk to your housing office.
