Another sibling
We were placed with a sib set of 3 this summer. I just found out today that we are getting their younger brother. We are so excited and nervous. We knew it could happen, but did not have a whole lot of faith in the system that it would work. 4 months ago we had one 8 year old, now we will have an 8 yr old, 7, 5, 4 and 2. Life is full of adventures and we are excited for this next one. Any one with any advice. I think we are good parents and I am trying to keep life as "normal" as possible while adding this younger one.

Thanks. We finally have our new little one home. We had a 2 week transiton and it was so hard to take him back to the foster mom after each visit. He fits in real well and has got to be one of the easiest 2 year olds. He is happy, sleeps good and eats good. The 4 older kids love him and he gets so much attention. I still can not believe that we have 5 kids now. We have been trying to adopt and conceive for 7 years, so it is such a blessing to get 4 in 4 months. We love having a big family.
