Talking With a deep breath.....we are starting again!

We sent in our application today for our second adoption. This is so exciting Andrew has been home around 9 months and is 16 months old. We knew we wanted at least 2 children so figured we would start again sooner as opposed to later

So, let the paper chase begin! I'm hoping it will be easier the second time around, but I'm not holding my breath.

We don't know the age we will be requesting and we will not be requesting a specific gender so we will be suprised.

Can't wait to share our progress with all of you - I'm also hoping that I will be around this forum a bit more in the future than I have the past few weeks.

I can't wait for this process to get moving!

They can kick you out for a name affidavit if one of the versions of your name in the dossier is not on the affidavit.
