IF we ever get TPR on our kids and adopt, we will have 7 kids. The SW told me now that T is 18 we can have another slot. I told her to not open it until 1 February, after T is gone to basic. T wants me to move Peanut into her room after she is gone. She says that when she gets back she can stay in the bonus room, she plans on leaving for college shortly after getting back from training.
This will leave L in a room by himself, S in a master bedroom with a full and twin bed, Peanut in a room by herself that will have two twin beds, Jo downstairs by herself and J in a room by himself. I told the SW that we wanted to take foster kids younger then Peanut, but I imagine that if they called for a little older girl (up to 8 ) that we would take her in. Our fear is that another foster placement will go on for 2 years again and we will end up with kid number 8 down the road. Most of the foster parents in this county quit because they have the maximum number of kids in their homes.
So when do you stop adopting? What is your maximum number of kids? What is your maximum age you are willing to be when your baby turns 18? I will be 60 when Peanut turns 18! With my bios, I will be 48 when S turns 18, what a difference.
