Our adopted DS came to us 10 months ago.
I believe it has been a fairly typical 10 months in the life of an adoptive family with the typial ups/downs and issues. It had been the toughest thing we have ever done, but also the most amazing.
People ask all the time if we are going to adopt more and i usually just say "i don't know" as that is the truth. DH is not especially in favour of the idea (not because of the difficulties) but because he only ever saw us with one child, but for me it's just simply that i really don't know at this stage. Although, if SS came along and told us that BM was pregnant and would we take the child we would absolutely say yes. Mainly because at the mo his family circumstances mean that it would appear to DS that he has been singled out/rejected.
I am really interested in what reasons you have for adopting more than 1 who are not siblings, and how you came to that decision. There is part of me that sees myself with a house full of children but at times the thought of that also fills me with horror
