Anyone adopted sibs without parenting other kids first?
I'm looking for success stories about other people who went from having no kids to adopting a sibling group. Stories from people who stretched for "just one more" --a sib group a tiny bit larger than you expected-- would also be helpful!
My husband and I are starting our classes next month, and hubby is starting to question our decision to take up to 3 sibs together. He wonders if we should "start with one child or maybe two" for the "experience" first.
I know this calls for a lot of honest discussion between us, so I'd love to have good stories of other families who started this way.
I keep borrowing friends' children to take places with us (the zoo, circus, park, etc), and I always borrow groups of three. He does wonderfully with them, but after they go back home, his worries start again.
It doesn't seem to be the budget, or the room, but more the "overwhelmingness" of parenting three kids at once when we started with none that seems to get to him. Any comments or "how we did it" stories are welcome!
