Ok so I searched for a Mabel Boyd between 1875 and 1885 and apart from the 1878 one, this is the only other one to appear

Births Sep 1884   
Boyd    Mabel        Bethnal Green    1c   227 

GRO has her mother's maiden name as EVERETS

The 1884 one would be 15 in 1899.  A little young perhaps?

I'm back!
Three would be mum, dad, adopted son?
But, yes, no sign from the advert that they were expecting another child soon.
I wouldn't have thought the advert would have circulated too far from Shropshire though. I just thought it was interesting.

Sorry, are we really assuming that the girl taken on from the advert (March 1899) is Mabel Boyd? (a mother on 11th June)? Would they really employ someone who was obviously pregnant?

Girl Guide, 15 does sound young but I must give her consideration.

At the time the advert was posted there was only mum, dad and adopted son.

Dorothy’s expected arrival would make 2 children

I don’t know what month Mrs.D was expecting George Thomas but possible she knew she was pregnant to make the family of 3.

Whomever they did employ, she doesn't appear with them on the 1901 census.  It's just Thomas and Mary, adopted son and daughter and their own son.
