Just because it works for you doesn't mean it's ideal for everyone else. If you read what I wrote, we had 2 kids. We were forced to take in 2 more to keep those children out of the system. Because we aren't married, when she had a major medical issue, I had to basically drain my savings to pay for it because she had no way to do so and no insurance. Because the adoption took longer than expected due to COVID issues, the state stopped payments for the foster kids altogether and I had to make up that shortcoming. It turned my entire tax situation upside down. It works for you? That's great. It's hell for me.
