Two children at once? (kinda long)
Good morning all,
I don't post much here, but I lurk everyday. Today I need your opinion. For the last week or so I have really been considering adopting a toddler along w/ my baby girl. When my DH and I started this adoption, it was for a toddler in Russia. When we switched to Guatamala, we decided on an infant. Now, I really want a toddler too. My concern is adopting two children at once or closely together and bonding w/ both at the same time. DH is still "thinking" about it. I just wanted some other thoughts about this. My family thinks it's crazy. We haven't even mentioned it to our sons. What has been your experiences w/ this? I just want my baby to have someone she can play with and who she has alot in common with. Is now a good time to do this or should I wait until we have adjusted to bringing the baby home? Any insight and advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Angie
