For those who have adopted a second child, how did you know when it was the right time? What sort of things did you consider? What age gap did you have between DC?
We aren't ready yet as LO is so young, just coming 2 yrs old and placed as a tiny baby. However, it's a question we often get asked and it has made me think more about it, we'd love two children but not at the expense of what is right for LO. We were originally thinking at least another 18 months/2 years but how do you know? LO is doing really well, seems settled and is happy and healthy and just plain gorgeous, we are so in love and I guess that is the other side of it, we don't want to take away from the special relationship we have.
We are prepared for whatever the future brings and under no illusions that there are going to be some tough times but I also think that LO would thrive with a sibling.
Grateful for any thoughts really!
