We found out the birthmother of our son is pregnant again and would like us to adopt the child she is expecting. I'm posting because I don't have anyone else to bounce this off of. She said we could forgo going through the agency this time and just do it privately, but my instincts say that is not a good idea. I like that the agency knows what they are doing, etc. and don't want to screw anything up by doing it ourselves. I'm tempted just to save money, but I'm not sure if I'd save money anyway. Plus we live in 2 different states which adds to the complexity. Do you agree? Any wisdom, advice, etc? For some reason, I'm terribly nervous, which I didn't think I would be for our 2nd adoption. Maybe because it is unplanned and she is due in only 4 months. Yikes! I would love some advice from anyone who has adopted more than once from the same birthmother. I really like the idea that our son would have a sibling who is related to by blood.
