Girl you need a break! I had post-partum depression after my daughter was adopted and so I know first hand that you don't need to physically give birth to a child in order to have hormonal changes. Please please please get some help for yourself so that you don't do something harmful to the children. Not saying that you would, but you never know until it is too late and you are snapping under the pressure.
I agree with the other poster who said that you have a responsibility to the two children you have already adopted, so tell the SW to pick up the two you are fostering and just try to devote your energies where they belong...at home with your 3 yr old, 3 month old, and your husband! It does sound like you have tried too hard to be Superwoman and you have to start slowly. Try it out with just your two children for a while and see how much better things get. If after a period of time you want to start fostering again, then I would suggest starting out with one child at a time.
Please, find some time for yourself and for your husband and remember what it is supposed to be like to be a family.
