Melissa in Australia Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We are officially completely crazy. We are adding another boy to our family. He is 8 years old and is the sibling of the twins. I cannot believe that we are soon to be parents of 8 children :svengo: 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 congratulations! I think it's wonderful you're able to keep the kids together. it's just one more added to seven.. . . .. ;p and it looks like you do have some moving out/close to.. it does free up time. it was easier to handle dudeling because the two oldest were college/graduated/not at home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Congrats and best wishes for a smooth transition. Hopefully having siblings already placed with you will make things easier on all of you. We are expecting some trouble times in the beginning, especially with twin 1. Someone asked me " are we doing a leap of faith". I guess that is one way of looking at it. This boy has been in foster care for 5 years. He has only had 2 homes in that time, most of it was with another sibling..... some kids have a sad life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I get where you are coming from. We added an 8 year old here in June (turned 9 in Oct.). It is hard, wonderful, draining, rewarding, tough, etc. AndI don't have twins with the challenges you face. Lots of prayers..... And give yourself lots of grace and space as you make the transition. Our first few weeks were just survival mode. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Congrats! (this isn't the same kid you posted about before, that stressed the twins out when he visited, it is? Or was that someone else? Either way, you have good instincts and a big heart, and I trust it will all work out.
