I am going through the same dilemma. We have a daughter who is 3 and right after we adopted her, her country closed. We knew if we adopted again, we would want to adopt from the same country and the fact that it was closed made it safe for us. Well, now there is some movement (although it is still risky) and we are panicking and not sure what to do. I would absolutely love for my daughter to have a brother or sister, but I am quite content with my life with just her.
I worry that I am too old to deal with diapers and formula again, but then I feel selfish for feeling that way. I'm also worried that I'll get all wrapped up in the process again and something will go wrong. Everything was so perfect the first time and we couldn't ask for a more wonderful, beautiful and perfect child. How will I feel when a second comes along?
Does it all come down to what you think is right for your child? Or should it be what is right for You? I would love to hear thoughts on that.
I actually have had my paperwork filled out and sitting on the shelf behind me for a week. My husband and I have been scared to put it in the mailbox!
