Going for number 3

[Catterpillarsflipflops]

We have a 1 and 2 year old sibling set.

We have just been approached for baby number 3. He's 6 months old. Born very prematurely. In foster care.

There would be 13 months between him and our next son & 26 months between him and our daughter.

This is the 10th baby of birth family. There are 4 other adoptive families of all the siblings that have all said no.

I would really love to have 1 more but finances for nursery fees and future hobbies, being on maternity leave again and the worry of health concerns from being premature and in NICU.

Our two are developing well so I'd hate to rock the boat & gamble on this one not doing as well and the impact of that.

That said... I just can't get him out of my head. The idea of 3 little ones running around together, having 1 more baby. I can't explain it but I'm really drawn to the idea.

Am I being absolutely mad here.

WOW !!
I thought you would, best of luck, hope it all goes well

Congratulations and good luck! 🎉

Thanks for update! So pleased for you all!
Be warned adoption is very infectious there may be number 4 in the pipeline!
Good luck I am quite envious!

Congratulations! Also a little envious here 😂

This is exactly our situation. Have a 1 and 2 year old who have been home for nearly a year and their sister was born last week. I would love an update or advice on how you are doing now with 3 under 3. Thank you x

Hi, update is our youngest son has got health needs and a development delay. Our eldest now has emerging autism traits too so it's not a walk in the park. However, it's the best bundle of chaos I could wish for.

Little ones adoption went through relatively quickly. Unfortunately, they just didn't make any changes.

Sadly there is another baby on the cards but this one is 100% destined for another family.

Aw thanks for sharing your update. So pleased you went for it and are enjoying the chaos ☺️
