How long to wait
 My husband and I recently adopted a beautiful 9 year old little girl. She has adjusted well and it seems like she has been our family forever. Of course there have been the ups and downs but we love her with all of our heart. We would like to add another child to our family but are not sure how long we should wait before we start actively searching again. It took over a year for our daughter to be placed with us, but I am aware it can happen faster than that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Some agencies make you wait a year. While I'd probably say 2 years, I never waited that long in between. It's such a personal decision. It will affect your daughter and she may regress some when the new child moves in. It's really a family decision. Good luck and I hope you find another child that blends well with your family.
