large families/ adoption ?

I was just wondering in general how your adoption workers have reacted to large family size. Do they hold that against you, or does it just depend on the child they are trying to place?
When we got our first referral, the childrens case worker was concerned about the number of children in our home. We *ONLY* have 4 bio kids.
I'd love to have a full house someday ( 8 or 9 kids) do most adoption workers frown on that? Or does it depend on the situation.
We homeschool also, so I'm not sure if that's a factor ( ie: our kids are home 24/7), thankfully our sw put in a good word for us and said our home is not chaotic at all,and seems very organized and well run.( thankfully the days she visited our kids were extremely well behaved!).
please share your adoption experiences as a large family!
Thanks,
Amy
