Hi. Dh and I have one DS who is 3.5 and would very much like another. Unfortunately we're not sure if that will be possible/practical for us. I had awful hyperemesis gravidarum with ds, spent a lot of time in hospital and was off sick for most of my pregnancy so we're just not sure how we could do that again along with having ds to care for. I am wondering whether adoption would be an option but don't know much about it. What's involved? How easy is it to adopt a baby vs an older child? How common is it for adopted children to have behavioural/attachment problems? Do you need to have one sahp or is it ok for adoptive children to go to nursery/family members for child care. I currently work part time (about 35h a week) as a GP and DH is self employed and works long hours. Any experiences/advice would be appreciated. As I say this is really only in a very early thought stage. Thanks.
