[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 58099"] If I didn't have easy child first, I would of thought this is "normal". If husband and I were in a better relationship, I would love to adopt. (my oven's been removed) I would feel so much more confident knowing all I know now. I would also love to have a girl. When I had difficult child I wanted another boy since easy child was so good, thought another boy would be just as good. Hah. My sister had three boys, wanting a girl each time. She adopted a little girl. I don't know what agency she went through, but the birth parents recieved letters from the adoptive parents. This birth mother was 18, my sister met her and her mother. Baby was 5 months. Birth mother said she couldn't give her daughter all she deserved, plus she wanted to go to college and have a career. She chose my sister because they were active in sports, and the baby would have three big brothers to protect her. little did she know how siblings fight regardless of it they are adopted or not. My neice is now 23 years old. College grad. has no interest in finding her adoptive parents at this time. She has a letter my sister recieved when she adopted her and was asked to give it to her on her 16th birthday. She did. My sister did get the medical history, met the mother and grandmother. They talked about her pregnancy and all turned out great. After raising a difficult child, you have more knowledge than most. I think it would be a very positive experience. in my opinion it is those parents who do NOT have the experience of difficult child's, they don't have half the knowledge that parents of difficult child's have, I can see those parents who witness our difficult child's in there gfgness that would wonder why you would want to do this again. I would love to adopt one, even if it was like difficult child. I would now know what to do and where to go. [/QUOTE]
