We are in the middle of PRIDE classes at the moment. According to the homefinders I have talked to, we should start getting placements in March or so.....
Well, my first question is about the rooms and sleeping arrangements. I know the rules differ from state to state but... how do they decide how many kids can be in our home? We have one extra bedroom, and it's really big. We will be taking kids 0-5 years old. Does this mean we can take only boys or only girls since there is only one bedroom? Or will they allow both girls and boys if they are under two and can sleep in our bedroom?
Can infants share a crib? I think we could probably fit two cribs in the room, but if we did that, probably no room for toddler beds...
Anyone out there familiar with how everything works in West Virginia?

If your room is big enough then you can put 2 sets of bunk beds in that room. Boys and girls cannot share rooms. If you get a placement that is under 2 that child can sleep in your room until they turn 2. WV only allows each household to have upto 6 children at one time (unless special situations). This is including any bio children that you may have. Hope this helps..
