I could have a few more "thrown in" here, there's room for a 6 y/o; 8 y/o, even a 5 y/o would be good . . . ;) Isn't it fun having older kids with a younger sibling? I REALLY missed my two oldest when they went to Grandma's house this summer! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningirl71 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Mine says two is enough.:glare: Yes, that is what mine said too. And, I went along with it until I was 33. That is when I decided I did want another and knew I wasn't getting any younger! I really, really wanted to adopt a baby. That has always been on my heart since I was a little girl. When we were living in Asia, we tried on and off for 5 years to adopt, without any success. Our last try was a heart breaker. We fell in love with an 18 month old Chinese girl who some friends were fostering from the orphanage. They didn't know of any adoption going on with her, so we put in our paperwork. Right before bringing her into our home {we were going to foster her until the adoption was final} we were told a Chinese couple had already adopted her! The orphanage hadn't told our friends whom she was living with! SO, after many, many tears, we decided to have another one of our own, and now we have Buttercup! I would still love to adopt someday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
