forever
TPR for Libby today!
   We are THRILLED! TPR for her three older sibs that have been in another home too. Fmom was is not an adoptive resource. The cases have been separate from the beginning so we've never had sib visits. After learning a bit more, we're considering adopting the older sibs too. That would give us seven kids though. Are we completely nuts?

Congratulations! So happy for you and your expanding family.
I am all for 7 children and would do it in a heartbeat if I could find the room.

No. I just realized last night that I would be okay with 8. They mentioned in our PRIDE class how they have had to split up or find a home several hours away a sib set of 5 and a set of 8 recently because they couldn't find a home in our area that would take them. I leaned over to DH and said, "We have the room for that many kids." You should have seen his eyes.
