Welcome aboard!!!!
To answer your questions:
1. I don't know in Oregon, but in FL there is real Foster-Adopt Route, it's you foster or adopt. You can be a foster parent and still have your adoption homestudy. It doesn't really affect your status.
2. My house is about that size and its a 3 bed/1 bath. Depending on the size of the room, they usually want at least 50 sq feet for each kid. So if your son's room is 10x12, you have 120 sq ft, so you should be able to have 2 kids in there but they would allow 3. Also, some states allow different sex of children in the same room only until 3. If not, then it will have to be the same sex.
3. Guns needs to be locked up and the bullets need to be locked up in a seperate location.
4. As long as dh is on the same boat as you are and behind you 100%. The woman is usually more passionate than the man. Most men usually have reservations, its ok.
5. Discipline usually consists of redirection, timeout (age appropriate, 1 min per year), positive reinforcement, lose priveleges, things like that. That just don't want to hear that you beat them.
Hope I helped. Good Luck.
