Okay...part of the reason I started this, is because there's not been any activity in such a long time; and, because I find this ruling offensive and prejudicial.

I don't know what the ruling is in other states, but in ours....the 'system' has the right to decide how many children a family may adopt. While that may not sound like such a big thing to some; I find it offensive.
I understand that the numbers may be changed if a family is adopting sibs.....but otherwise, regardless of the room, the family is only allowed to adopt eight children living in their home at the same time.

However, keep in mind, that if I chose to give birth......I could have as many children as I wanted. Keep in mind, that even if I had children removed from me, I have a good chance of keeping the child I would be giving birth to---regardless of how many I have had removed, or how many I have had.

I'm not trying to be judgemental in the previous comments; but I find it offensive and just plain wrong, that an adoptive family---who has been through the wringer in trying to 'prove themselves' through clearances, hours of education and 'keeping their home as someone else dictates'........is NOT allowed to have more children in their family! I understand that they would need to prove 'enough room'...'enough of many things'. (But also keep in mind that those giving birth, don't have to do this.)

Just something that's bothered me for some time......any comment?

Sincerely,

Linny
