[quote=Anonymous]Help me become clear on whether to proceed with a fourth child or not. I am only considering adoption and have extensively researched it (as well as being an adoptee myself): Why it would be ok: I always wanted a big family We can afford it (not rich but we are ok) Our house is big enough (would be able to give each kid their own room eventually if so desired) I always wanted to adopt but the circumstances weren’t right before We live walking distance to elementary, middle & high schools, YMCA, small playground, 15 min from shops/restaurants DH works for himself My commute is 20 min including drop off/pickup We live simply Why it might not work: I WOHM and don’t plan to quit My oldest is 8 so not sure what parenting older kids/teens is like Grandparents are 40 min away Vacations/cars/etc nigh impossible? Am I in fantasy land? I know so few people with 4 kids it seems scary.[/quote]
