My husband and I plan on adopting, but it is exceptionally difficult in Australia. On average about 5-10 years wait and over $40,000 most times. We are looking at adopting from China or Thailand. As soon as I walked into the orphanage I knew I had to take all of them home!!! :) But the rules and regulations are stringent, and we don't yet fit them (have to be married for more than 5 years and off certain medications that I am currently taking etc etc). But yes! Its definitely on the cards!
I would love 4 kids! Biological and adoptive! A lovely blend of both would be great! But who knows how it will all go :)
I have a much older sister and brother (22 and 20 years older than me) who live a block away and an hour away. We aren't very close at all, but their children and I adore each other! I love being an aunty to my beautiful 2 nieces and 2 nephews.
And my mother lives 2 hours away, but we aren't close either.
Having said that, my husbands mum lives 40 mins away, and she is glorious! She popped up for lunch yesterday and made us roast! And bought a whole heap of new babe clothes! I love her!!
Thats why I want lots of kids!! :) So they have people to love and relate to!
