We have had up to six at a time. Ages 6 to 17. We have 4 teens right now 3 are 15yrs old and one is 17yrs and are considering a sibling group two boys ages 8 and 14. It takes a lot of structure, patience,time, love and dedication. These children have so many needs. We are very lucky to have the support in the school that we have. We take boys and my husband is able to be home with them when they are home. It is very important to be honost with yourself about how much you can handle. You have to think of the children you already have. Is taking more children going to ruin the security of the child you already have. I always take into consideration the needs of the children already in the home, before I take any more. My husband is great with the children He teaches them so much. They work on a lot of projects, building, RC cars, landscaping. They are able to learn a lot of life skills because he has the time to spend with them.
