There are several families in my ward that have fostered and adopted several children each. The interesting thing is that they all are doing it not through LDS social services but through the United Methodist church.

One of them is my Elder's Quorum pres. and he explained to me that LDS social services is basically into placing infants with young couples where as these families all have parents in their forties and all the children are "rescues" of children who are between three and ten.

Just found that interesting. I respect the hell out of these people for doing it, hard to think of many things more noble.
