Is there a max number of family members in family sharing?

I have 6 children - 4 of them have iPads and are members of our family sharing. However, I cannot seem to add the newest one to get an iPad. The add button is there in settings > iCloud > family sharing but it is greyed out and not operative. I've tried from my iPhone and from my iMac but cannot seem to add her? Is there a maximum number of family members to a family or is something else blocking me from adding her? Thank you for your help in advance!

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), iOS 9.3.1

See the quote below from http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. Share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected. And with an Apple Music family membership, up to six people can get full access to Apple Music, too.
