I’ve always been fascinated with large
families. We talked with three moms of large (8+) families
that have been formed in part by adoption. How in the
world do they do it?
How do they decide whether a prospective new child would be a
good fit with their family?
How long does it take for the family to assimilate a new
member.
When adopting an older child, how long before you feel like the
mother rather than the babysitter or aunt?
How do they afford to feed and raise all those kids? Budgeting
and menu tips.
How has the decision to adopt affected the biological kids in
the family?
Do you recommend adopting out of birth order?
Are their disadvantages to being a very large family?
Are you able to find time for each child individually?
How do you nurture your relationship with your spouse?
Do the older children in the family have to take on a great
deal of responsibility for the younger children?
Have you experienced attachment issues in your adoptions?
