Hi, I'm 22 and I was wondering what the chances are of being able to adopt my brother and sister. They are 4 and 7 and our mother left us a couple of years back to go and live with some guy. We haven't heard from her so I've been bringing them up plus she was always out so I brought them up before she left and they see me as their mum. We all have different dads who none of us know.
I also have twin boys who are nine months and my parter whose 24 has a 7 year old daughter from a previous relationship and he has full custody of her. My mum left us her house which we sold and my partner and I are currently renting a house. He's got a decent job so money isn't really tight.

The social worker who came to see us when I got the custody of them recently suggested adopting because she thinks I'm doing great. I like the idea of it but I'm not sure of how much unnessisary hassle it could be. Plus I would love to say I have 5 kids!

Thanks

Meg
