My DH and I were just asked if we would be interested in adopting again. The bmom is my DH's aunts niece but really no relation to us. We are thinking about it, but have not made up our minds yet. We just brought our son home in April 08 from Russia, and we're not sure if we are ready yet. Well I'm ready but DH wants to think about it before jumping the gun. Anyways, my question is the bmom lives in Ohio and we live in NC. What would we need to do if we decide to proceed with the adoption? For the most part do we need to just update some of the paperwork that was already done from our DS's adoption, or will we have to start fresh? This would be the second time we were asked to do this by two different bmoms. Once you've adopted is this common to be approached to adopt again?

I did tell them that we would want the bparents to get counseling and make sure this is what they really want to do. I don't want the bparents to regret their decision, nor do we want to have them change thier minds after we get our hopes up. I've been told that bmom lives with her father, and dad has been trying to talk her into an abortion. I'm a firm believer in abortion rights IF there was a good reason to have one (jeapordy of losing one or the others life, rape, those types of things). But I really hope she decides whatever is best for her and her baby.
