The Orphanage

📖 The story

A big house, a rotating cast of children who need a home, and one guardian holding it all together. As one child grows up and moves on to their own life, another arrives at the door — the household never empties, and the heart of it never closes.

💝 The goal

Raise **twelve adopted children** to young adulthood, never letting the home hold fewer than four kids at once (until the final wind-down).

🎀 Packs required

💡 Strategy tips

• Adopt across life stages, not all as toddlers — a mix of ages keeps the workload survivable.
• Older kids and teens can help with chores and homework, easing the crunch.
• Budget for the constant churn of beds, food and school supplies; a stable income is essential.
