I need some major help!!! We currently drive a Ford Expedition which can seat 8 (it has a 3rd row of seats). Once school starts (next week) I will be babysitting my daughter's 3 year old & 1 1/2 year old. I already keep my other daughter's almost 2 year old during the day. I also have two 8 year olds, two 5 year olds, a 3 year old & a 2 year old. My daughter with the "almost 2 year old" is pregnant & due in January. During a "normal" day the 4 oldest will be at school so I will be left with 6 children who are all in car seats. We'll fit but it will be a MAJOR job getting everyone in & out if we need to go somewhere. So, my question is, does anyone know where or if you could go about getting a VERY inexpensive 12 passenger van that is still dependable!! We are in the Xenia Ohio area. I'm welcome to any & all suggestions! THANKS!!!

I saw quite a few resonably-priced vans when I was researching before starting the adoption process. I was looking into vans with wheelchair lifts, but I ended up not being able to find a handicapped-accessible apt., so still have to rule out wheelchairs
 But anyway, there were a LOT of vans listed, including some 12- and 16-passenger ones, so there's a good chance you'd be able to find something decent within a reasonable distance of where you live.
