Ya hard to offer advice when we do not know what province you are in - as momof4 mentioned in some Provinces in a home setting you can only have 5 kids regardless of the number of adults whin would severely limit the income if two of you were wanting to work together and live off that - you would have to open a centre in Ontario to taken in more than 5 kids...however other provinces allow a home to be licensed and have more children ??
