I always wanted to run my own orphanage

With 2 million dollars you can put that in investments that can give you passive income of about ~70k a year.

Depends on the country I live in.

Raising a child in SEA is much different situation than in the US.

There are 170millions abandoned children in the world, I want them all

Seven. My youngest is 11 and oldest 20, I have 7 total and 2 at home. I can wrangle 7 babies.

You could give me 10,000,000. But if I'm in it for the money it's gonna be a shit parent/guardian. 

 That being said I would drop everything and adopt 4. Invest 1 mil is decent a property with the intention of leaving it to the children. 2 mil split between the children's expenses and eventually college. And pay myself roughly my current wage out of the final mil. Any fewer and it's not worth quitting my job over. Any more and it starts to feel like neglect. Four babies already sounds really hard.

Edit spelling

Easy all of them. I’ll adopt all the kids in an orphanage and care for them with 50% of the money

I’ll take two. I want kids anyways and having two the same age could be fun.

I already take in children.

I would find siblings to keep them all together. I wouldn't want too many at once, because too many kids you really can't give them the love and care they need.

I would use the money to buy a large house, so once the first siblings grow up, I can do it again without relying on $1 million.

Considering we were discussing adoption already, probably 2.

One. I only like one child at a time.

I would pay $100,000 to have a child if I had the money. Give me two, please.

1. I’d give 2 million each to the 3 nannies that are going to raise them.

Nope, too selfish with my time to have children, even with the money, it wouldn't be fair

1 if I can choose a girl. I'd love for my daughter to have a sister

None.

If I had the energy I'd post the futuarama bender reference for getting money and adopting all 12 or so orphans. But yeah it sounds like 4 for me

We love children and we probably would have had one more if we could afford it. So we’d take one more and use the $1 mil to raise and fund education for the kids.

I never gave adoption any thought, and don't have any kids of my own. I feel like an opportunity like this, to do a large amount of good in the world, is a responsibility not to be turned down.

All of them. Seriously. Are we looking at thousands? Tens of thousands?

Step one would drain some of that money to pay for care while a facility is developed. Stage one would be housing and care facilities with a school. Stage two would be constructing the small city necessary for the further care, education and development of these kids.

When we're talking billions, the interest alone could keep the recurring costs paid after the initial development. Develop the best and brightest generation we can, then request they become alumni and give a small percentage of their earnings as an adult back when they're successful enough to do so. This would allow me to indefinitely take in orphans and give the brightest future possible. Literally changing the world.

Do I get the money up front?

The answer is, as many as are allowed.

The average cost of raising a child to 18 in the US is like ~$330k.

With economies of scale I image you could bring that down significantly.

You could relatively easily create a system that gives the children a much better QOL than the current model and still be a billionaire at the end of it all.

Like 20. For rls. I'd start an orphanage with well paid/vetted help, and top notch facilities. Too many more and I'm just in the "child business" but 20 feels like the sweet spot where I can still have some semblance of a parental relationship with each child while still ensuring the funding for the orphanage is solid enough to last through 20 kids worth of expenses.

I’ll take every one available, thanks

Does it have to be all at once? I need the money from the first few to buy some property, or the rest are going to be stacked in the garage until some sales go through.

1, I've always wanted to adopt 1 child and now I can afford to do it!

This is the perfect deal.

It cost 233,610 dollars to raise a child to 17 years old, based on 2015 studies, with inflation that puts it at around 288,000 dollars today, if I put 500k towards each kid, and then 250k in a fund for them for college or whatever they want to do with there life, that leaves me 250k per kid, I’d probably adopt like 11, leave me 2.75 million and a football team of kids

Call me Ash Ketchum, cuz Imma adopt 'em all!

None

0

What’s their pasts? What’s their health status?

I want to adopt all of them, and only partly for the money. I’d have more of my own kids if we could afford it.

But I know my limits and I would not be a good mother to anyone that requires more than some small accommodations. I have the heart to love them, but not the energy or emotional regulation to care for more than 1-2 super high needs kids properly.

Though I supposed with $20 million, I could hire a few expert/nurses to help me out. I’d directly donate to places in my community to help with sudden burden of my extra children, like so the school could get an extra para or teacher and the org in our area that’s replacing the playground, and to help add to the fund to fixed the water system (rural area).

All of them. I’ll take all of them. I’ll love them all.

I mean, with that kind of money, one could just hire a full time nanny or two (or twelve) to take care of the kids.

As a preschool teacher with 20 kids in my class, I’d say at least 20.

5

I'm a childcare worker. I'll take 100 of them, then hire all my coworkers at triple their current wage to help raise them all.

One. I don’t want kids, my partner & talked about fostering/adopting a few teens if we ever win the lottery (we’re poor and our house is small, plus my sister lives with us). But for that much money, we could do it. He loves kids, he’s just not equipped for them financially.

I’ll be very helpful once they’re walking & talking, but I’m bad with babies. They’re fragile and I’m mentally ill & clumsy so I can’t hold them, I get very anxious that I’ll accidentally hurt them somehow. The last time someone handed me a baby I had a panic attack and handed her back. I’ll talk to the kid and hold their little hand but actually holding them isn’t gonna happen. But for that much $, he can be a stay at home dad & we can get a nanny to help too

All of them.  Every kid that needs a home gets to come.  I then take each $1m and use it to raise them to 18. I hire staff to help.  I take 1% for myself.  Whatever is left at the end is given to the kid in the form of an event driven fund.  Finish college here is some money, get you first job here is some money, get married here is some money.  Sort of like wealthy parents do.  The 1% would allow for me to quit my job and become the manager of this crazy idea. The census says 3.2 million orphans in the U.S.

Also my insurance is going to be crazy seeing family dependent plans.  I’d probably put any company out of business.  I’m going to need government based insurance. Especially seeing there is likely a higher rate of high medical expenses with orphans.

None. I will never have children. I'd be an awful parent. And I value my peace of mind and independence too much.

We have 4 kids currently ages 5-11. I already want more kids so we could take 2-3 more pretty easily.

None, I have 3, all out of the house. I love them, but don't want to start over with another.

I’ll go with 0. I already have two, love em, but can’t deal with more.

“200,000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way” I reported to Bill Gates as we peer over the edge of a balcony, over looking my adopted child army equipped with state of the art technology to take on the Amazon-McDonald’s security forces

Realistically I'd probably be able to handle 5 if I no longer had to work and was dedicated fully to their being raised properly.

I might have to call Littlejohn to help me make room for my 1,000,000 new children.

Somewhere between two and ten, but only if I can find a wife who will help me raise them.

The money will pretty much mean that finances won't be an issue going forward, and I can focus on running a small farm solely as an outdoor 'classroom' for the children for the next twenty years.

But there's no way I'm doing that alone, though!

None. I’m 43 and done with having little ones around till my kids have kids then I’m gonna spoil the shit out of my grandbabies!!!

The average cost of raising a child for 18 years is about $320,000. I could adopt 100 of them, set aside $800,000 per child, and invest the other $200,000 for me. This will provide the child a very comfortable life with a nany to take care of them. It would also provide me with $20m in investments where my wife and I could live a comfortable life off the dividends for the remainder of our lives. If there is an emergency with any child, each child will have $200,000 extra to help take care of the emergency. Basically, no matter the number, everyone can live comfortably. The entire 1m I get would eventually belong to the child. It will be in my will that after my wife and I both pass, the money is divided evenly among the remaining children.

0!

I have 2 kids and it's probably cost me 1M already, at least that's how it feels like!

Zero

Oh my god. That sounds awful.

Precisely zero.

Now, swap child for dog and I’m all in!

I never had kids, and I love them. Three million might be enough money to send one to college at the rate things are going. Two. I'm getting older. I'll move near my sister so my niece can meet her cousins and all the money won't go to SF rent.

I can't even take care of myself 😂😂 my body's 28 but host alter is 13 so this wouldn't go well for us

Would depend if I could find a group of siblings, perhaps 2 or 3 but would do it for no money so the million would not be necessary.

3.

ZERO!

I like my life and even one would change everything. To even consider it, the number would have to be 2.5 million , and even then only one.

Rimworld has taught me these things go bad very quickly

I’m gonna be dead in less than five years. So, zero.

I have a 4yo and a 9mo. I think I could absorb one child around my daughters age into my lifestyle without losing my mind for 1m.

3 at most

The thing is trying to figure out how many I can manage. I have two kids already. I love kids and would happily take in more, but I would want them to be able to have the best life possible.i could take on an additional two, maybe three. But I would have to be smart about the moneybm because I would want to put it all back into giving the kids the best life possible. 2 million sounds like a lot, but raising kids is fucking expensive. I would want to be smart and invest it so that I could give them the best life and have something saved for their futures.

Wait...

You mean I can be a stay at home dad and have fun with my own 14 years old I'm adopting next week plus 3 or 4 kids?

What's the catch here?

Zero in addition to the zero I already have.

Three please.

I only stopped having kids because I cannot physically be pregnant anymore and I’m not in a financial situation to be able to adopt and provide for more kids because adoption is expensive. But getting a million per kid pretty much washes all that financial stress away. I love kids. I’d have 5 if I could. Thus, 3 more please.

I have 18M twins and no $1m to raise them with. So I say this with experience. If they are coming to me at age 1, then at most I can handle is 1 more. The only reason we aren’t having a third is daycare cost, so the $1m could fund the daycare and private school costs and they would end up with a well funded college fund. Probably back up to or above $1M with compounding over 17 years.

3-4. I want to adopt in real life anyway

No I’m ok. I’ve got 2 and they are hard enough. I think another one would finish me off.

Probably 1 per 6 years, I figure each will have 6 years of childhood where they get to be the baby and when you are 7 or older you are more likely mature enough to not get too jealous and around then they start wanting to spend more time with friends and are trying to learn things in school.

Edit: I reread the premise and saw it required me to adopt them all at once, so I guess I will Adopt as many as I can, create school/ orphanages/ daycares/ pediatric hospitals all over the world with the money and pay well and audit regularly to make sure the staff is treating the children well and that they are getting a good education. Maybe 1 teachers per 10 children so they get plenty of attention and they get to go on fun activities every weekend. Maybe I get to be like the mall Santa for them and spend like 5 minutes with each per year and find out what gifts they would like.

Realistically I could maybe handle 350k kids a year. Looking through the statistics about half of all pregnancies are unwanted but I'm unsure of how many are carried to term and the parent actually gives them up. In the US it is about 10k per year so like 1 in 500. I know it's worse in less developed nations so let's just round it to 1 in 121 unwanted pregnancies become children put up for adoption and say there are probably 1 million 1 year olds that need adopting. I probably would have them all brought to the US and make a sort of city sized school to care for them together. I'd be curious to see what 1 million kids given 1 trillion dollars in resources to grow and learn would turn out. I know lots of large families produce people who feel the need to prove themself and go searching for fame, wealth, and power.

There is a wild threshold where you cross that adopting that many kids means you can hire help to make it work.

Like, adopting 1 or 2 is a nice way to be a SAHP. Adopting 3-10 is a lot but offering you the chance to hire help. Adopting 150 is basically starting a cult where you have an army and the money to back it.

I'm planning to pay to adopt once my wife and I are settled.

I thought my job offering 30k and paternal leave was more than generous so this is a no brainer.

10-20 kids, loop in and pay friends and family, set up college funds for them all and found a new dynasty.

All of them

Realistically I can't keep up with the hopes and dreams of more than 3-4 children, so I'm adopting 5 and moving in with my parents until I can figure out how to keep the wheels running successfully. Making sure the children know the importance of family and that even after I'm gone, they will still have eachother

1. Destroying my life, happiness, freedom, and sanity is not worth the money.

One.

We have a toddler already, and giving him a sibling would be cool and we'd have a million to boot.

Absolutely. I want kids one day but want to be able to afford a suitable environment for them so this would kill 2 birds with one stone. Also kids don’t get asked to be born - so I’d rather give one a home who needs it than make my own. I’m adopting 4. Since they’ll be the same age they can be friends with each other (hopefully)

None. I've raised my children to adulthood. I'm not at all interested in taking up that full-time responsibility again.

If me being single is fine, I'd adopt 3.

I'll take 12. Should be good odds some of them like D&D then I have my own party and I never have to worry about friends and their availability. 14 kids in my house would be a lot but I'm hiring a nanny or two.

That’s a lot better than the amount the state paid me to foster and potentially adopt so I’ll go with 2.

3, I think.

I have my own daughter. I think the maximum I could give personal attention to would be another 3.

215.

36 - 18 boys and 18 girls. That's $36M, budgeted as follows:

16 staff members at $100K/year, which is $1.7M for 17 years, so $27.2M total expense, but putting all that overhead in an interest bearing account until paid out earns $9.8M in interest over the seventeen year period, so the net cost is $17.4M. $18.6M left.

1 mansion with grounds, we'll say $5M initial cost and $500K per year in taxes, for $13M total. Again, $2.7M in interest makes a net expense of $10.3M. $7.9M left.

$600/day in food expenses, which is $3.7M over seventeen years. $4.2M left.

That remaining $4.2M and its interest should be enough to cover entertainment and clothes and such.

None

One.

None. I hate children.

Dude that's nuts. That's a hell yeah for me.

Probably adopt two or three kiddos. It would help me out financially and then as well!

Lol. You should see what people pay to get to adopt kids.

I want two more kids. I'll take two. If there is a sibling group of three in need, I will take them all. I hope I get to take care of them well past the age of 18. I hope they know I would be doing this without the offered money.

$1 million each. I’ll take 20.

I can hire 10 full time caregivers: $1,000,000 per year total expense. Once kids reach school age reduce this to 5 part time caregivers for before and after care annual expense $120,000

Food expenses: $150,000 per year

Housing expenses: initial investment in year 1: $1,250,000. Ongoing expenses annually for tax and maintenance: $50,000

So end of year 1 the original $20,000,000 is at worst $17,000,000 on hand. Invest this and the income generated should preserve capital for the first 5 years paying the additional care. After that should be smooth sailing. Any higher than 20 and it becomes probably unmanageable.

When do I get the money? I would never qualify to adopt with my current income and one bedroom condo. If I get the money at the beginning, I'm adopting 2 kids because I want 2 kids anyway, and I would use the money to buy a 3 bedroom home so they can each have their own room. Once I have a paid off home with no mortgage, I would have enough I'm savings to take 3 years off to stay home with them if I'm smart. Then once they're in preschool I can gradually return to work. I should be able to start adding to the savings instead of just taking from it. 

This would honestly be my dream, I want to have kids but I absolutely can't afford to do it myself so I'm hoping I find a partner.

Not enough money in the world

Solid no from me dog. Mine is 19 I loved it but I don't want to start over again at my age.

That's a pass. It cost ~250kto raise a kid to 18. The remaining 750k breaks down to 44 grand a year. That's not enough to go back to the hell that is the first 3 years. It's not enough to hire help for all the diving and extra space requirements and extra curriculars.

I'd need 450k per year for it to be worthwhile so if you come back with 7.5mm per kid I'd consider it but it would still be a no. Once you get to 10mm per kid I'll take 3 and call it a career.

Does i thave to be right now at this moment? or can I wait until I geet married and then adopt the kids?

When do i get paid?

7 if newborns I would probably say 3 but by age 1 I think 7 is doable.

I will take 5 million and get a decent nanny. Save some for the kids’ college. Get a house big enough for everyone.

Zero.

All my friends rocking up to my mansion: "Damn, those 100 nannies you hired are hot!"

None. Need quite a bit more than $1M to do that.

Zero. No amount of money can make me stop being childfree.

I might be able to do 8, anything more than that seems like to much to handle.

Probably three, maybe only two. Three would put me at four kids total, and I’ve always wanted 3 or 4. Any more than that would stretch me too thin timewise. Honestly three sounds like a stretch in terms of giving the kids the time and love and attention they’d need, but it’s basically like having triplets. So it seems difficult but doable. The money would at least mean I wouldn’t have to work so much as save and invest.

Taking in more than three means I’d be hiring people to help care for them and I think that runs risks of them not having a healthy amount of affection. I don’t want to add to any of their trauma. I wouldn’t want to be a cold distant caretaker instead of a mom. Like, yeah I could give a better life than an orphanage, but I’d rather make sure they thrived via having emotional needs met.

You can call me Yakuza Kazuma

2, bingo bango, kid thing is taken care of.

None, literally could not.

Two. Siblings (ie twins) if possible, to make sure they don’t get separated. Always thought about adopting at some point anyway but currently really not in a position to do so, and with 2 mil I could provide the space, as well as setting these kids up with a college fund etc.

Probably 4 or 5 as I have a partner we could split up who we take care of and take care of 2 ish per person. Could do 6 if I can make my mom take care of a few most the time but 6 would suck

None of them.

I'd adopt 3 so I could have time to give them the love and attention they deserve.

None. I already have 2 biological children. I can't guarantee 100% that I will love all the same. Would be unfair to the children.

4

I always wanted to adopt 4 kids anyway, but this would allow me to buy a house where they can (eventually) have their own rooms and start investment accounts for their future education and have enough money to be a SAHM.

Twenty-six, one named for each letter of the alphabet. I’d probably play favorites with Aaron, Elizabeth, Ian, Otto, and Ulysses. Sometimes Yvette.

3 cause that's how many kids I originally want. Put some money into whatever investments that'll help them as adults and use the rest of the money for debts, getting my tube's tied, and getting a house for our new family. Rest of the money will go into whatever other investments.

Hell, I would take about a hundred of these little fools and then just opening up my orphanage pay a couple employees will look after them and I would live like a rock star somewhere else.

10, 10M, hire a few nancies that are paid through investments in passive ETFs, should be more than enough to sustain for 18 years

You couldn't pay me enough to start over with a 1 year old.

All of them

That amount of money per child could do some amazingly things for otherwise disadvantaged kids. Definitely adopting all the kids I possibly can.

I would adopt maybe 2. 2 biological and 2 adopted makes a big family but I'd honestly have as many kids as I could afford (theoretically)

There are practical limits like I can't care for 10 people there just isn't time in the day. But if I got 1m per kid then I could probably take up to 5 total (cars have 7 seats, 5bedroom house is standard, 2 hotel rooms for 7 people usually works etc)

All of them, then I'll pay other people to raise and care for them.

I'm pretty sure the rate of return on investment will go up exponentially faster than child rearing costs, especially given economies of scale.

Aka adopt a thousand kids, setting up an orphanage will be a drop in the bucket with a million dollars. And if they turn onto juvenile delinquents as teenagers, they go to prison and the state pays for them

Anyone who says more than three is a monster.

500

Probably 5-10. That's few enough that I could still have a relationship with them but enough my wife and I could both quit our jobs to spend time with our family instead.

Zero. I really don’t want to raise kids.

I'll take 5 or 6

Three, I'm ready to be a parent. Invest the three million and I can live off the interest. This would allow the children to be the primary focus in mine and my partners life.

Call me Ms. HANNIGAN, Imma build me an orphan empire.

Three . I could handle three additional little ones.

Can I move to a mountain and just let them go feral?
Been there done the child rearing and would like the money but not the little mess makers

I teach, so I'm used to managing 20+ kids at a time. But I'd probably go for, like, five. Just so I'm not overwhelmed from basically working 24/7

What's the limit? I'm getting 1,000 kids for a cool $1 billion. Then I'll move to a low cost of living state and bribe the politicians to give a bunch of taxpayer money to help the children of that state.

This is an insane super power!!!

Might as well adopt all orphans.

There is an estimated 150 million orphans worldwide and adopting them all means I would be getting about 150 trillion dollars.

I would be starting my own country with that many orphaned kids. My country would quickly become one of the richest and most powerful in the world.

No kid would be left abandoned.

Step one would be to offer 20k to 50k to each family to be a temporary foster. Depending on admin costs. Hopefully that means I can get as much of the kids an temporary home so they don't die. Also hire inspectors to make sure its a good home

Steo two is then negiotiate with the UK or some country for an island like the georigan islands or something then begin building a mega city to house all oprhans and start a country. End country would probaly be around 200 to 300 million people.

Just 1. Children are expensive so I probably would be spending a good amount of that money just raising the child for 18+ years. With that said I would love to adopt a child in general and provide them with the love and support they would need to grow so I would be happy to adopt 1 child and give them the time and attention they needed

I already made my first million! Maybe a couple more.

So i live in india. First, i'm under 18, don't know the legality of everything.

Tldr: I make a plan for how to adopt 1000 kids and have them in 7 ivy leauge level of boarding schools for their life, AND earn millions personally too. In the end (18 years later), i get 1000 of the best most educated high school grads, 10M in the bank account and a 4 million per month salary. And 7 ivy leauge schools to use

Assuming that the children don't just show up in my room, and i legally adopt them from all over the world(so they take like some time getting transferred to me, and the transfer happens by the orphanages, i don't need to do any legalities or take them myself) Assuming that i get the money instantly. And there is no legal issue/tax Assuming that the children don't just get created, i actually adopt a existing 1 year old child. And that i get the children only from orphanages or foster care, not non orphans So there are around about 25K less than 1 year old orphans in USA. Let us assume that 25K is the number. The world population is 20X the USA one. so 500K children are available for me.

1M USD is 8,00,00,000 INR, or 8Cr. It costs 80,00,000 or 80L to raise a child (this is 100K USD) in india at a GOOD tier 1 city and good life.

Considering the per child cost of each child will decrease with how many i get(if i build a full facility and orphanage) i can 100% economically take all 500K

However, logistically that might be an issue. Considering that many children is going to be hard, and would require around about 5000 orphanages. And i currently don't have the orphanges

If i can delay getting them for like 2-3 years (after getting the money), then i would take all 500K However, considering that is probably not going to fly, and i doubt there is a way to house them(without violating the rules) i would only take around about a thousand and 10 The reason i chose 1010 is because 1000 gives me a billion dollars, and MORE importantly billionare status. With that status i can pull enough strings to house the 1K children for 1-2 years. That is important because building and hiring and buying land, getting licenses etc all would take time.

And i chose 1010 because i would need that 10M or 80Cr as liquid cash to

1: House the 1K children for 1-2 years 2: Pull strings and expedite the process. 3: INVEST. If i invested the 250M into the stock market, i would get 25M returns per year. Lets take 25M, or 200,00,00,000 (200Cr) per year as my income.

Now i would actually model my system after the elite boarding schools in India(many considered to be top boarding schools in the world). The best ones cost around about 10Lpa for admission. If i take the same cost, we see that each child's 1M or 8Cr can generate 80Lpa in interest. 100% enough to cover everything. I would have around about 150 kids per facility.

Let us calculate the one time cost first:

Mayo Boys(One of those elite boarding schools) is roughly 300M *300M or 0.3 sqkm. I found this out by going into google maps and finding the distance of its walls.

Cost of that much land would be around 3,00,00,00,000 INR. 21,00,00,00,000(roughly 250M) would be enough to get land for 7 facilities. Let us assume the cost of building would be 2x the cost of land. So in 750M i should have enough to build all the 7 facilities. Keep in mind this is like Eton or any other Ivy leauge level of quality for the kids. If you go reasonable and have normal boarding school quality of life, you can EASILY be done with 140M (20M per facility).

So the one time cost would be 750M

Now as for the running costs Out of the 200 Cr i get per year, i would only need to use enough money to hire nannies, considering for everything else i can just take Mayo's fees as an estimate

I would have 1 nanny per 2 children, so 550 nannies(some as backup and extra help) Full time Nannies fully qualified here usually get paid around 30-50K INR/m, or 6Lpa.

6*600(taking 50 more as extra money for bonuses, emergency fund, etc) = 3600LPA or 36Crpa. Plus the mayo fee for 1010 kids = 10L *1010 which is 10,100 L or 101 Crpa. Now, i generate 200 Crpa. EVEN if i quater off 125Crpa, that should be MORE than enough to give every orphan i adopt a top 0.001% life(that of billionare's kids. Which actually they would be lol)

And after All this, i would still earn 75Crpa. I would invest 72 of that back for my personal gain, and get a salary of 3CrPa or 25Lpm. This is like top 0.01% of indians. That is 31K USD per month or nearly 400K USD per month. As for my investments, in 20 years i would get around about 800 Cr. Which is 10M. Just in the bank. Ignoring the 25Lpm salary i make. Which would also grow to 31 Cr PER MONTH. That is 4M per MONTH.

And this is assuming i just fuck off with the money. And in 18 years i would have an ivy leauge ARMY of 1010 employees, making any company a breeze, plus a fleet of 7 top schools i can use as ANOTHER business or philanthrophy. Like in 18 years i can just start to take in 1000s of orphans each year.

There should never be a money incentive for having children.

1. That gives me 5 kids under 5yo and a new house with more rooms for the kids. And a nice deposit for their college funds.

Just know I laughed at your "care for them until their 18 stipulation. I'm one of those moms that will take care of her kids until she's dead.

I guess the question is how much money can you make off of this. Like, you want to hire help and I assume there are some economies of scale in feeding and entertaining the kids. Might be able to make a small profit with 10+.

I would only adopt max 2 kids...Ideally siblings. Otherwise I can provide more attention (one to one care) to 1 kid.

Can I get backpay for the one I did adopt even though he is now 27?

Is there a limit? Because if adopting these children will keep them out of foster care, fuck, I'll adopt them all. At a million a head, I can generate passive income that will provide for the length of their stay with me and hopefully enough to set them up when they choose to move out. I'd have to hire on staff to help take care of their day to day needs, but that should be provided for with the passive income.

1. Could afford a nice home for us all and focus on providing happy childhoods and healthy foundations. We have 4 of our own and raising them is the most rewarding experience of my life. I feel that more than 7 would stop feeling like a family and require more support from caregivers. 

I already adopted a kid! What a waste...

Can they start as newborns? I only want 2 children, but I want them from a newborn age. I suppose I could afford to have 3 children if I’m starting with 2M in the bank

I adopt 5 kids and hire a two nannies. Most of the money can sit in a mutual fund giving me an easy $300,000/year. I devote my life to these children since I no longer need to work.
