in Adoption
Our son's birth mom told us on Sunday that she is pregnant again. She has an IUD that's still in place (!!!). She's 6 months along now, due early July, and still doesn't feel in a place to parent, so it's very likely that we will be raising our son's genetic sibling (same birth dad, though they broke up in Oct, and though he just found out it seems that he too supports the adoption plan).
We have an amazing open adoption with them and honestly were not considering another newborn adoption due to logistics (time, money, and naviating another open adoption relationship mostly). ESP not this close together (our son will be 16 or 17 months when the new baby comes!) but I am freaking excited! I'm also so incredibly anxious. Also of course, my heart is a little bit breaking for her going through this process AGAIN. She said it was really tough to come to terms with this again since she was just starting to feel like her life was returning to normal.
Anyway, we just found this all out and it's still going around in my brain...we start the paperwork for the new homestudy asap. OMG! I cannot believe it. We are not telling anyone except super close friends until they have had some more time to think about their plan, but holy cow I have to tell someone!!
It's also kind of amazing because our son is an enrolled tribal member and his tribe is very small (less than 200 people). If we did another adoption I would want the other kid to have Native affiliation...but I never dreamed that they could both be the same tribe!!!
