Hi Shycar!

Yes, my for adopted kids all begin with "J" but the funny thing is so do my 2 birth kids! Good luck with your four!

In regard to sharing a bedroom: when our four came we only had four bedrooms, one of them was my hubbies and mine and we gave our son his own room and the other two VERY SMALL rooms we knocked the wall down between them and had all three girls in bunkbeds there. We called it the "girl's dorm". We had our twin sons bedroom downstairs in our family room and my daughter who was away at college had to sleep on a cot in my bedroom when she came home to visit! It didn't seem to matter to SW that the girls were all in the same room. It was clean and it was decorated cute. Twins have since moved out on their own, college daughter has graduated and is out on her own. Son is now in a bedroom we built off of family room and wall went back up in girls room so they each have their own "tiny" bedroom! They all seem happy and have learned to be VERY flexible! LOL!

some agencies seem to think sharing's ok, others i've seen say no.

My daughter is a very bad sleeper, always has been, and still wakes up quite often crying in the middle of the night. I would hate for another child to have to deal with that, which is why I'm reluctant to put another child in her room. So it would probably have to be 2 of the same sex since I know that different sexes have to be in different rooms by a certain age.

Ok, I could use any advice from the vets here. We have a 2 Yr Old Adopted daughter that we got through domestic adoption at 3 mon. We are about to get a sibling group from our state of 2, a girl 5 and a boy who will be 2 next month.
My daughter and the 5 yr old will be sharing a room while the little boy will have his own room. Although, the rooms are all upstair and pretty close together. I also worrie about my daughter waking the other two. or the other way around. How do you all do it? I need pointers all the way around. Any advice is welcomed. The are free for adoption so we will be adopting.

Good luck Tudu!

We have sib group of 4 we adopted four years ago. It's a lot of work and you will really need supportive people around you! Remember to take a breath now and again and don't let your "bucket" get empty...keep yourself filled or you won't have anything left to give! Trust me, I let mine go empty a few times and I was drained! I wouldn't change a thing though and love our kids a lot. I'm soooooo lucky! Keep us posted as to how things go!

We received our approval through the state of Tennessee in September. We are now waiting impatiently for a sibling group. We would love to find three of any sex or race (we are not particular). There were two sets that we would have loved to be matched with but we did not get approved in time. The wait has already been eternal and I am afraid that this is only the very beginning. We do not have any children of our own but we do have six dogs and two cats. It is already a very lively house but hoping to make it even more so! Good luck to all of you and we will be praying for you all.

We are also looking for siblings! At first our limit was 4, b/c one day in the future we would like to have bio kids. However, we recently got information on a sibing group of 4 that has an older brother that they wanted adopted with them as well. My husband after much prayer decided that if God wants us to take 5, we will! I was shocked, but happy! We've also looked at groups of 3 and 4, but are still waiting on our homestudy to be completed! ARGH...the wait is driving me nuts! I'm afraid with the holidays coming up they are going to put stuff off even more!

Hey TENNESSEE, where abouts are you? We are in the middle of CHatty and Nashville. Were you wanting the sibling group of 5 AA that was recently on there? They were adorable.
