With counting down each week and each day until our baby is born, I am starting to think about future adoptions. Kyle and I talked the other evening about when we would like to adopt a second child (assuming the fall adoption goes through)and we would like to aim for when our child is a year and a half. We will always be open to adopting a baby or toddler if a situation happens to fall into our laps between now and then but if one does not, we will start actively pursuing a second adoption in about two years.
Even though my heart is very guarded and I don't quite feel attached to our situation yet for fear of getting heart broken again, my emotions are so up and down...so very extreme one way or the other. One moment I will be in the best mood and find myself humming or being extremely happy and then a few hours later when I am by myself at home I will just randomly break down for a few minutes (and then I quickly thank God for all of our blessings and get back on the happy train again). It's like I can't control it and it weirds me out. I know it's a completely normal part of the adoption journey so that makes me feel a little bit better.
