    MaryBeth, it may be difficult to find a teaching job abroad when you have 1 teacher and 4 dependents. However, when you get one you could get some additional income by doing social work in the host country. Try Africa and Asia as your first port of call as schools there are more likely to employ a teacher with 4 dependents. Unless the teacher is the male in the family, don't try the Middle East, most countries there don't allow a woman to be the head of a family when there is a dependent male.

    There are international schools that employ teachers in your situation, don't be put off by the ones that prefer a teaching Mum, a teaching Dad and two kids.

    We are a family with 3 school age children, a social worker, and an elementary teacher. Would there be opportunities for us or are we too big of a family to be considered?
