Adopting an even number of kids --2, 4, 6, 8, or even 10 kids sounds good to me!
If my husband remains concerned about going from 0 to 3 instantly, of course I would hear those concerns and start with the number he was comfortable with. When we got married, we discussed a large family, but when kids come "biologically", they tend to come one at a time, with a year or more in between. And even now he thinks as long as we can afford that many, the large family is still possible, he's just concerned about the suddenness.
I have been thinking that if when we complete our classes, if children are not placed with us immediately, that we could offer to do respite care for sibling groups. That has the potential to change either of our minds, I would think. Hubby thinks that would be OK, because if it's true that 3 are too many for him, he would know it was only temporary and that would make it easier to handle.
Do any of you have experience with that--using respite care to double-check the ages, issues, and number of sibs that would fit well in the family?
