adopting a second child
We are currently adopting our second child also. We are adopting an infant from Ethiopia. Our son, Owen will be 2 next week. So far, he is excited about getting a brother (we are requesting a boy). We are always talking about the process with him. He knows that his brother will be born in Africa, and he knows what we will name him.(Abram) That way when you talk about the baby, or toddler that is coming they can talk about them to.
I too am worried about the transition from 1 to 2 kids and how Owen will handle it.
I saw that parents magazine this month has an article about adding a sibling, and things you can do to help your child. THis may apply to you( obviously some of it won't if you are not getting a baby) but just check it out!
