2nd Time Around, Who else?
Hi, we have decided to start adoption #2 so we're starting the paperchase. I am gonna get started with the homestudy agency and INS forms this week. I saw where right many of you are doing it again and would love to see you all post here as well so maybe we can support each other!!
This will be interesting, we went through the Hague mess with our first daughter, she is 3 now but came home MArch 2004 at 14 months old. We got her referral at 3 days old. Putting it in God's hands!! So I look forward to it, I am scared and I look forward to sharing the journey with others as well. We are still trying to decide what agency.

We are almost ready (waiting for pink this week) to bring home our second dd. Our first dd is 4 years old! I thought this adoption would be so much easier (just knowing more about the process and what to expect).... boy, was I wrong!!! It seemed much harder for me!! Maybe because I have a little one waiting for her sister (not just dh and me). Good luck to all!!

We are also starting the process for #2 - There is an unofficial "spring beginners" group too so we can all keep track of the others. I'm planning to post a thread at the beginning of every week so that we can get updates and things.
I hope your process is super speedy!
