As I've posted before, we are in the process of adopting a sib group of 4, ages 6, 5, 4 and 3. Once we complete finalization, we plan to open our home to foster/adopt once again. Our plan is to not take any children older than my oldest. However, we still want to keep working with sib groups. I've found a couple that look to be a good match for our parenting skills and children, however an artificial twinning situation would occur, possibly with more than one child.
What are people's thoughts on this? If we got another (large) sib group, it's likely that one of us would become a SAH parent, or at least drastically cut down work hours to deal with attachment issues and necessary therapies.
Do those thoughts change with kids who have been in a stable placement, so you can get a good history on behaviors, vs. new foster kiddos? What if the children have a different ethnic background?
I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has BTDT, or considered it and decided against it.
