Calling all working moms with a large family through adoption

I am surely not alone in being a mom who works outside the home and has 5 children.  I know this isn't gigantic by measures of the Duggars or Gosslins, but I also don't get paid to have a show.  I work because I have to pay for insurance 1/2 of our bills.  I work to show our kids life isn't easy and doesn't just drop in your lap.  I work, because that's life and life isn't always a choice.  Unless I choose to not work and go on assistance...not a choice or a good example to my kids anyways.

So, if you're a mom that works outside the home and has a larger family I want to hear from you.  I've been blog searching for months and have yet to find another one, but I know we can't be alone.   Pipe in ladies!

I'm a working mom of only two - one came to us from S. Korea a little over a year ago, and then 4 mos. after he came home, our bio son was born. So we're a busy lot - even just with the 2! My husband lost his job mid-way through our adoption so back to work it is. It's rough some days but we make it work as all parents do, I suppose!
I love reading your posts - I can't recall how I found your blog - I think it was from the Korea Blogroll site?
Hope you're having a good week!
