Honestly, I think with a 2 year old and a 3.5 year old, in addition to your other child, taking a 5 year old that has experienced neglect, disruption and grief, would really be pushing the limits of even the most experienced foster/adoptive parent. But you know your family better than anyone. I've had a 5 year old that did really well here (her birthday was the day before our 5 year old, so it was like raising twins for a while). But her one year old brother was very, very difficult. He couldn't understand what was happening, he was angry, he was sad, he took it out on us, he didn't want to bond, it was a tough year.
