Lucky Kama! That will keep him involved for sure!!

I found a boy and a girl 5 and 7 on a regular adoption agency site. Their father has health issues that are leading to his desire to place them and I don't know about the mother, but they sound pretty typical otherwise. I keep thinking about them. A lot of grief and loss to process, but not the foster abuse/neglect model either. I would like more but I might be maxed out on kiddos with the really bad issues. I also think a lot about infants. Oh and there was a neighbor whose kiddos had to go live with her father in law because of her drinking problem. There was concern he couldn't handle it. I was very interested in those boys. There was trauma but it was doable. There were 4 of them, but since they were all boys they could double up some.

Space wise I could buy my brother out of his side of the duplex and that would give me 3 more bedrooms before I even started fixing up the attic. We could take in 2 easy and everyone would have their own room. I had thought about doing this before I hooked up with the SO. The dream always included having a jukebox in the larger living room- I still think that would be fun.

The SO and I would be going for an infant right now if I didn't have health issues. I also think he could easily fall for the right older child. I can't see it happening though unless I get significantly better.
