Malinda,

I'm curious when you include "non-caucasion" with special needs. Although they did at one time, I believe LDSFS no longer considers trans-racial adoptions to be special needs. From what I understand, special needs would be something like a health or medical issue or a non-newborn.

We have two children already as well, so when we decide to adopt again we'll be in the same boat as you. I've decided to be as proactive as possible during the wait in order to increase our odds of placement, including putting our profile online at both providentliving.org and hopetoadopt.com, and letting all our friends and relatives know that we want to adopt again so they can let us know of any potential situations. With our first two, I was content to sit back and let the agency present us but I won't have that luxury with subsequent adoptions.

Best of luck!
