I think this is the place where we are at. We are in the process of trying to sell our house and buy a house so we feel right now isn't the right time, but who knows down the road and then we'll be that much farther behind. Then like others have said we are happy as a family of three and want to do things with Lian like Tracy wants to do with Charlotte. Then I think that doesn't seem very fair, not wanting to bring another child into our lives so that we can spoil this one rotten. The only thing I do know is that with adoption at least we have the option of adopting an older child and not having to start at the baby stage all over again.
So Lissa, I guess it doesn't really matter whether you "can" adopt again because there are issues even if you "can".
