Re-intro Adopting #2

in Adoption

Hi!  I am a lurker and posted occasionally when we were adopting our daughter.  A few weeks ago our agency contacted us to see if we would be interested in adopting her full biological sister.  Of course we said yes!

It was so unexpected, but we are thrilled!  We are in the process of moving, and the baby is due this Friday.  Since we aren't local to our agency anymore, it is going to require a lengthy out-of-state stay to complete ICPC requirements. We're also having to scramble to get a home study done and may have to take temporary custody while we wait for clearances.

I have a few questions about family issues and birth parent relationships, but I'll make new posts for those.  I just wanted to put myself back out there since I'll be posting again.  I feel like I haven't had much to offer since we finalized, but I'm ready to hop back in now!

    Thanks!  It was a total surprise.  We have a semi-open adoption with letters through our agency, but last fall we were told that they had stopped accepting our letters.  I was so bummed!  I'm really hoping that this gives us an opportu

    Wow congrats! What an unexpected, awesome surprise!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!
