Glad to see you taking care of your own.
My dad is the money maker of his litter, not that he's real rich but he does well as a senior engineer (didn't like management).
He grew up on a 100 acre farm in Iowa and to help subsidize the nursing home fees they lease the farmland out to others to farm (best soil in the world around here).
She's been in the nursing home for over 10 years now and it's cost right around $500k or so for everything.
Children may be a burden initially but they eventually turn in to people (hopefully good ones) and if you have any good sense and care (as well as the other biological parent) there's a high chance they'll act the same toward you.
