Success after IF
Holy crap! Claire has a newborn sister
I got a call tonight from out caseworker- Claire's birth mom had another baby yesterday! And she's been taken into state custody. We were called since we have adopted the bio sister. She is 6lbs 7 oz and apgar was 9 and 9. We are in total shock, we knew this was a possibility but never thought it would actually happen. We are going to see the baby tonight at the hospital, and we have to decide if we want her, part of me doesn't know if I can go through all the drama again of adopting thought foster care, we got so lucky with Claire and it was such an easy process. And goodness can I handle a newborn and a 2 year old!? But that's my babies sister!! Please play for us that we make the right decision for our family!!
Our Journey from two to three!
3 IUI's, 2 IVF's, decided to move to foster/adopt.
12/24/2009 Baby C born, 2/1/2010 placed with us,

And FWIW, you certainly could handle a newborn and a 2 year old, should yall decide to take her.
Best of luck!!
This. Also, did they not know until now? WOW! Thoughts and prayers are with you!
OMG Shannon that is crazy and exciting news! I cant imagine how shocked you must have been when you got that call. I will pray for you, but I'm sure whatever decision you will make will be the right one. I can't believe Claire has a sister! I will be thinking of you, please update us when you can. (((HUGS)))

Wow! Sending you positive vibes tonight that you are able to make a decision you feel 100% about.
Also, mine are 23 months apart and it's not so bad. Much easier than I thought it would be, but I'm only 7 weeks in... I may feel differently in a few months.

Wow!! Have you been able to get your jaw off the floor yet?? I cannot even begin to imagine the incredible range of emotions you felt during tha phone call. You can totally do two LOs...what a perfect little family (assuming you decide to go that route)!! Good luck to you!
All of this! What a call to get...!
Prayers that things work out for the best. I'm sure whatever decision you make will be the right one. I have no doubts that you'd handle a 2 yr old and a newborn just fine. :-)
If you want an unsolicited opinion I'd say if it's at all possible go for it!

You can do it!!!!! I can totally relate to the anxiety, but (and this is just me) I know I would have horrible regret if I didn't do it.
Big hugs!
I had to chime in again because this is what my heart is singing!
that is pretty amazing news!
praying it all works out
