Okay, I am writing to myself but if I want to document our adoption story in its entirety, I need to start now 'cause I have a terrible memory and someday, this blog will likely be made public.
I emailed our social worker last month to start a homestudy to adopt again. She was excited; in fact at the 1-year follow-up of Brynn's adoption she asked us when we were going to adopt again so I think she just knew we would call some day. We have filled out the application, written a check for the fee, addressed and stamped the envelope, and well, for two weeks it has remained in my bag.
Are we ready? Should we be content having four beautiful, happy children and stop while we are "ahead"? Are we just plain crazy to think to do this again?
Something is holding me back but I am not sure what. Fear I guess... I am more nervous this time to adopt than last time. Last time we jumped in and educated ourselves during the process. This time we know more. This time we know the potential joy... and the potential heartbreaks.
I need some of Brynn's fearlessness right now!!!
