As I consider the option of adopting again .... some days I feel completely insane when I say that.

After a lot of thought and consideration to my life and most especially to the behaviors, needs, and personality of my daughter I have made the decision that if I am going to adopt again it will be best if I adopt out of birth order. My current daughter would do best to remain the youngest and I would like to add a daughter that is just about 1-2 years older then her. I try to stay up on agency information so I know a lot of the agencies that work in Ethiopia. What I am having a hard time with finding out is which agencies will allow out of birth order adoptions. Some that I have talked to are completely dead set against it, others really discourage it but have not said it is a deal breaker. My question is -- does anybody know of an angency out there that currently allows out of birth order adoptions? If so could you please PM me. I never would have thought it would be such a big issue but it really seems to be.

Thanks,
Samantha
