They chose another family for these boys even though we had met the boys and were interested in adopting them. That was ok we moved on and now have 8 kids, 6 of which are foster to adopt. Today we get a call that the 2 boys have had a adoptive placement failure and they are considering us again for these 2 boys! They now say they should have gone with us in the begining as we had alot of experience with kids. Are they just trying to "butter us up" to say yes? We are really at a loss. We have always continued to think about these 2 boys over the past 5 months and wondered how they were. The caseworker said the boys have asked about us and that we made a impression on them. True or just trying to tug at our heart strings? My husband wants to consider it. I am not againest it but I am worried about giving 10 children under the age of 17 attention and in addition to that our own 3 children still at home. They are older, 17,19 and 24 but still they are here. We also have a grandson that I want to spend time with. Our daughter 22 and her husband live about 1 hour away and its hard to get together and spend time with them and our grandson now. Are we crazy? Has anyone else faced a decision like this?
