Can we be disqualified from adopting if we have four children of our own and only have a four bedroom home?

Q. Our children are 2 to a room in bunk beds and there is one extra room available. We have thought about adopting because of all the children who are waiting for a good home and we know we can provide them with one. I am afraid they will deny us for not having enough space.

A. If they do I would be surprised. I have seen foster families with up to 4 kids in a bedroom. If you can provide for them financially and emotionally i don't think it would be a problem, especially if you were planning on adopting through your state.

Original Question

How many children do you think a couple should have if they live in a 2 bedroom apartment?

Q. The people who live downstairs from me have 4 kids. That's 6 people living in the apartment. They have bunk beds. It's an average sized apartment, not small... but still. They plan to buy a house next year because their kids are getting bigger.

A. I'd say no more than two but that's my personal opinion. As long as the kids have beds to sleep on, clothes on their backs, food in their tummy's a mom and dad who love them take care of them and provide them it really doesn't matter.

I wish my 4 year old wanted sports, I have found many more ideas and things to go with sports. but he wants monster trucks! I may get a tire and dip it in brown paint and make muddy tire tracks over his blue walls. Then hang posters up and maybe even get a wall murial. Also hang or paint road signs. if you do a search on wall murials and/or road signs you will find lots of ideas. the murials are really too expensive for me so I may try to do it myself! (MAYBE) they also have the wall "stick ups" for sports or cars. they are removable stickers. do a search if your interested.
anyway. good luck and have fun!

How to fit 4 kids in two 11'x11' bedrooms?

Q. I have a 7 year old daughter, a 5 year old son, and 1 year old twins (boy and girl).
Do you guys have any ideas on how to fit them into two 11 foot by 11 foot bedrooms. Should I put the girls together and the boy together or the older ones together and the twins together. How should we organize their furniture. Should we buy a specific type of furniture (bunk beds for example).
We just moved in and need HELP!!!
Thanks in advance

A. Ships captain style bunk beds. Stephen Spielberg arranges his kids' rooms like this in the book Hollywood at Home by Architectural Digest. Don't be intimidated. You can also create DIY solutions for this. Look on sites like Apartment Therapy for small space solutions. I also highly recommend Pinterest for kids and teen room boards for inspiration. I am also a big fan of Christopher Lowell's book on small spaces. You also want to maximize floor space so I suggest that all lighting is off the floor and off table space. You can choose kids' room wall sconces and ceiling lights so tables are free and floor lamps don't get knocked over.

Can I have 2 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment?

Q. My husband and I love our apartment and don't intend to move for several years. We have a baby girl and are considering trying for #2. A friend told me recently that she didn't think (legally) we could put our kids in the same bedroom. Now, if we have another girl, I don't think anyone would even think twice about them sharing a room. If we have a boy-- well, they definitely wouldn't be sharing past age 10. Does anyone know if there's an actual rule regarding this? We're in Wisconsin, if that helps.

A. You're friend is crazy. What does she think bunk beds are for?

Thoughts on decorating a unisex children's room?

Q. My boyfriend's kids share our guest room when they're here for visits. His daughter is 5 and his son is 4. We have red metal, twin-sized bunk beds and a white toddler bed. There is no central theme to the room at all. Toys are scattered about and I don't think it's a very stimulating area. I was wondering what sort of decorating tips people have for this sort of situation. Keep in mind that I can't paint because we're renting the house. Thoughts?
