I have recently went from being a mother of 2 to a mother of 7! I have 2 natual born children and my husband has 2. But in May we had this wonderful opportunity to take in 2 more children die to their mom being on drugs. The mother at the time was 7 months prego so we were asked to adopt the baby because the mom knew that she just could not handle another one when she could not have her other 2. So we decided to take in all 3 of them. Now time has passed and it looks like we will have the other 2 permanetly too but I am not fussin I love all of them the same and quite frankly I don't think I would want them to move out now...lol Of course the baby is now 2 months and 3 weeks and doing great too. I love being a mom!

That's so wonderful. It's great that you and your husband were at the right place at the right time. Sounds like those kids will benefit greatly. Good luck.

I'm sure they will be fine with someone watching over them.

WOW CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is too overcoming for me, but if you are both willing to handle it, then all the power to you! I love children, but my hubby and I get stressed with 2, so I cant even imagine 7 lol! I wish you guys the best of luck and I really respect you for doing something so generous and loving for those children that really needed you!

You certainly have your hands full & I hope that the 3 lil ones do well in your home rather than that of their birth mother. How long til you adopt the baby?

They are doing good. The adoption is now final for the baby
