We think...when the time is right we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
How did you decide to adopt your second child?
Also, on the flip side - - - if you only have one child are you content with only one child? Is you child content with being an only child. If you were an only child were you happy being an only child?
At this very moment....I am content with one child but I think as my son gets older I will wish we had adopted again.
I don't know ...any advise?

We always wanted a large family but by the time Bug was born, we were so done with it all. Tired of the rollercoaster and waiting. We knew she would be an only.
Well...
she was about 6 months old and we were at a family gathering with DH's family who is most probably the most fertile family on the planet except of course DH and me. There was our Bug, the only babe... her "cousies" LOVE her but they will grow up and go on with their lives and she will be the "only". We decided right then that we felt it was important to add to our family. Not only that but our relnships with all our sibs are great and we want that for our kids.
Our hope-to-be son (6 days til revoc period is up) is right next to me, swinging and asleep at 6 days old. Bug (27 months) is upstairs getting her jammies on with her Daddy. We just knew we wanted another, even though Bug filled our lives up so much. We have plenty of room and we wanted her to have a sibling to share her life.
#3??? Now THAT is another story... not even going there...
You will know...
