I believe that it also depends on the ages of the children. I am a single foster parent who most generally gets infants.
Currently I have a 12 mo girl and a 3 mo boy. This morning a 13 day old boy left (I was doing an evaluation on him).
I am certified for two children, birth through five years. When I have the third child it is with the understanding that it is short-term. Besides, in our state you can only have two children under the age of two without getting an exception.
Most of the babies come to me from the hospital, or by the age of 3 months. Some stay awhile and some are here for only very short periods of time.
It all depends on what you can handle. I would recommend talking it over between you and also with your certifier.
Blessings,
Lynda
