Find a good donor and have at it

I've been thinking that my little family is not yet complete and would like another baby. Being that I'm not in a relationship and will be 39 in March, I'm thinking of adopting a baby girl. I've been praying for God to give me a sign and to bring a baby who needs me into my life. We will see.

Anyone here adopted or have adopted children? What are your experiences?

(Musclemom is about to start playing devil's advocate here).

What the fuck are you thinking, knock that shit off! Go dunk your head, seriously.

Look at the shit you've gone through just with daycare so far. This is the EASY stuff! Wait until he has a class project due and desperately needs your help and you have a case that needs your attention until midnight. Wait until you have a conflict in attending a school function versus your job. And you want to DOUBLE that?!

Trust me on this, you're in the BAR NONE best phase ever of parenting now. They're cute and still sleep a lot but can't talk and are totally reliant on you. Wait until the word "NO" enters his vocabulary. Wait until he starts walking. Wait until you have to juggle getting his ass to school, getting yourself ready for work and then figuring out what to do with him from after school until you get home from work and what happens if you have the kind of job that occasionally needs your attention until after 6:00? Daycare closes at 6:00.

And that's just logistical stuff. Wait until he starts talking back. It DOESN'T GET EASIER from here, it only gets more complicated.

And I haven't even mentioned what happens when hormones kick in.

With girls it's NO easier and ten times more expensive and they scream more.

maybe I am in the honeymoon phase still. lol. True to all that you said. I just still have always wanted at least one of each gender.

actually, I'm considering that too. I'm also considering telling devin that I had him via artificial insemination too. That way he won't feel like anyone abandoned him. That is too hard on a kid.

Heather give it a little time. Two kids especially close in age is hard. If I didn't have a little help I would go crazy with my two girls. I miss having a baby and sometimes think I want another, but then my kids fight all day long and stress me out then I realize I need to get over it. lol

Good luck though! Adopting is awesome. I would love to adopt, but hubby is only for having our own kids with our blood.

LOL...that CAN be done, actually. hmmmmmm...

There are kits on the internet whereby you can gather sperm at home and mail it on dry ice.

(I know too much about this stuff....LOL).

I am very good at producing girls as I have 2 beautiful ones already. (pics upon request)

Let me know if you need my services.

ps. this of course would add a little brown to your family tree because I'm 1/2 black....my kids mother is white and thus my kids look white but get a very fast tan in the summer

PM me for more details.
