The sibling group of 6 that we are thinking about adopting, we are going to foster first. We will get them two at a time with the first two arriving in about 2 weeks. They are in fostercare because both parents are deseased. None of them are in counseling, none of them are on medication, and none of them have been labled with any type of adhd, learning disabled, etc... They haven't had any bad reports with the foster families that they are now with. We are getting the two because the one foster family has decided to retire from fostering, and the other foster family that the child was in the mother committed suicide.

I know that they will come with some issues such as dealing with the loss of their parents, and being separated from one another. However, we are willing to give it a try with fostering for about 6 months to a year. We already have 4 children of our own. One is adopted and the other 3 are my step children. We will definitely need God to lead and guide us through this unusually but difficult situation. I will keep you posted as to how things progress.
