need some input / thoughts please - Adoption.com Forums

we are fostering 2 babies, one is 16 month old, the other is 12 month old. We are in the process of adopting our 16 month old (should be done next month),and hopefully soon our 12 month old.

so we are having 2 children to raise... NOW birthmom of my 16 month old had another baby. For now the baby is with her, but with her 'track record' of losing babies, it would be absolutely NO surprise she will lose this one too....

I don't know what to do!!! I think about this little baby every day!! so does my husband. BUT, I am soo scared to get 'the call' for this one!! I don't know if I have enough strength in me to raise another child

this is my son's sister... I KNOW that, but still...

what should I do? once she comes into care, we WILL get the call......

have you ever said 'enough is enough', and said NO? how did you feel about it afterwords?

I really really don't know what to do! my heart aches for this baby, but my brain keeps telling me NO NO NO!!

both birthmom's of my children are 'baby makers', they have one after the other. My family says: what about the next, and the next after that??!!??? you can't take em all!!! and you shouldn't feel like you HAVE to.

but how can I raise my son, and look him in the eye when he is older, saying I turned away your own sister?

BUT, I really don't WANT another child!! my 2 are enough work, and even though they are 'work' I also have tremendous joy and fun with them!! it WORKS, kwim? I have enough TIME for each of them, and I am also scared that having another littles will take too much of me, so my other 2 would be on the 'side lines', and that's just not fair. they deserve ALL of me, not just a small part.... (does that all make sense?? I hope so!!)

HELP!!! I am sooo torn!!!

please give me your thoughts. My husband wants to say 'yes'.. but *I* am the caretaker most of the time in my house.. so it would be ME who does everything (most of the time).
