Just my opinion

My personal opinion would be to wait until you are financially stable again after the first adoption before you begin the second.

I stressed out in the beginning trying to figure out how to pay for this and know that I will too be in debt for some time afterward.

Something to think about....will adopting a second child now put you in a financial place where you can comfortably support your family? I am not talking about just shelter and food....I personally want to give my daughter things that weren't available to me...vacations, going to the theater, lessons in some activity she would enjoy... I want her to not have to worry about how college or her wedding will be paid for when she is older.

I think about the possibility of a second child, however I imagine this happending a couple years after she is home.

I know you were looking for ideas on how to finance a possible second adoption, I just wanted to play devil's advocate to ensure this is really something you can do without puttnig to much stress on yourself and your finances.

Regards,
Brandy
