Cheesestix -
We adopted three beautiful little siblings. They came to us as a foster placement in Feb. 2002 and were 2,3, and 5 at the time. Our adoption was final in Jan. 2003 (they had been in foster care for 2+ years before being placed with us). Now they are 4, 4, and 7, at least until that middle 4 turns 5 in a few weeks! 
Nothing was as we expected or as we would have predicted, but we are so thankful for our beautiful children. We were not planning on doing foster-to-adopt, God just sort of threw us a curve ball. We are planning on being able to continue with fostering in the near future.
blessings,
