Adoption

NC - regulars know who I am....

despite me saying no more one baby ago, we happily took on number 5 and thought that was that...

we had a call several months ago re a family member who needed help, and suffice to say we have jumped through some hoops - actually bought a bus! - and are now set up to receive a sixth child next week.
the little one is actually related to us, and is coming via a SGO rather than fostering or adoption, but hey ho, whatever works in our house.

It does mean we will have 3 under 2s (scary times!) and 4 under 4s...we anticipate a rather manic first year but hope and pray we have made the right decision to keep this baby in the family rather than allow a loved and wanted babe to be placed for adoption.

So here we are....planet exhaustion here I come Brew....and we have yet to fess up in RL, so you lot are my listening ears right now!
