Bailey and Ben are struggling with the loss of their unborn baby. Meanwhile, there are foster siblings who need a home on Grey’s Anatomy. Will the two foster Joey and his siblings?

Grey’s Anatomy hasn’t been kind to Bailey and Ben. Just as Bailey learned she was going through early menopause, she also found out she was pregnant. Sadly, she suffered a miscarriage, which has been mentioned a couple of times since it’s happened.

Ben made it clear on Station 19 that he thinks time is up for having his own kids. He’s almost just accepted it, but that doesn’t mean there will never be other kids in his life. He and Bailey could take a step towards fostering based on the current storyline in Grey’s Anatomy.

Joey, who was homeless with his siblings up to this point, is currently still in the hospital. The doctors can’t keep him there forever, though. And nearly being 18, he’s not going to find a home in the foster care system. Bailey is seeing the horrors of the system from the outside, and we could find that she decides she wants to foster Joey and his siblings.

It certainly seems like she’s thinking about it. She’s considering how she can help, running through everything that could happen in Joey’s future. Bailey just wants to do something.

So far, Bailey and Ben haven’t discussed fostering or adopting. They haven’t really had the chance to talk about the miscarriage, especially since they’re both on two different shows now. While there are crossovers, the two haven’t seen much of each other on-screen recently. That doesn’t mean a conversation can’t happen.

It’s not going to be easy to foster or adopt Joey and his siblings. They aren’t blood relatives but foster siblings, sticking together after a terrible foster home. Joey is almost 18 so will be out of the system soon. Plus, it’s a long process to become a foster parent.

Instead, we could see Joey turn 18 and have nowhere to go. Could Ben and Bailey open their home to him, giving a space for visits with his foster siblings in the future? That would likely be a more realistic storyline on Grey’s Anatomy.
