Question:

Adopting Triplets?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

A while ago we adopted a young girl from Italy. We have been thinking about adopting another child and the adoption agency was aware of this. They have some triplets who need a home. They called us and asked if we would want to adopt them. While I do want to, it seems like a lot of responsibility. We have 5 kids already, but 2 are grown and living by themselves. The others are 14, almost 4, and almost 4. I am a SAHM and my other children are pretty independent, although the two young ones obviously need some help still. They are potty trained and talk and everything already. We **CAN** afford it and have plenty of room for them. The adoption would be very fast and easy. We need to know in two days, so they can temporarily place the children somewhere else if we decide to pass. We weren't on a waiting list but one of the children has medical problems and we are able to deal with that and have room for another child. Other properly equipped people weren't adopting. Please help. Opinions?

  1. God bless you!


  2. Sounds like your covering your bases. I think the important thing here is that these children remain TOGETHER in a safe and loving home. Best of luck.

  3. Oh, come on.  You're excitement shows throw your post even though it seems like your don't want it to. - GO FOR IT!

    Of course it's a lot of responsibility.  Weren't the other 5?  

    If you're looking for an excuse to 'go for it' when the world is probably telling you you're nuts think about how you will feel if you learn later that these triplets were separated.

    God Bless and Good luck.  Let us know what you decide.

  4. i say do it if it feels right for you and your family

  5. I say go for it and God bless you for your unending compassion and kindness.  Obviously you were meant to help these kids, there is a reason why God brought them to you.  You are an amazing woman, good luck!!!

  6. I won't be the popular opinion here but 3 is hard. With 2 4 year olds needing a lot of attention....well, thats going to take a LOT away from them. Personally, and I LOVE kids (have 4, 3 being adopted, stay at home mom, wanting more) I would very sadly pass on it. It would be terribly hard but it wouldn't be right to take away that much from my kids and they are a bit older. I think research and phycology would tell you the same thing. Good luck though if you go for it.

  7. Triplets?!  

    Wow!

    My opinion is to look at your family situation and trust your instincts.

  8. i think that you should go for it those girls need someone and you are a great candidate and obviously the adoption agency thinks so too. this is a difficult you need to make but i think in the end it will be worth it good luck and congrats on your new children!

  9. That would be amazing and so caring!! But it's all up to you.. though you seem like you can handle it. ^^

  10. That would be GREAT if you could give these guys a home. If you can give them a good home that is well supported then go for it if you feel you can handle it. It is great that you are adopting and helping children. So good job!! And Best of Luck.

  11. I say go for it, these little ones need a loving home and yours sounds perfect!!

  12. I say go with your instincts if they tell you that you can do it, then believe it. Almost everybody else here thinks you can.

  13. Sounds like you're willing and able to do what the kids need.  Go for it.

  14. go for it

  15. there was a reason why the adopting agency told u about these triplets...id say defo go for it!!

    this i feel is ur destiny!!=)=)
