Do it now - why wait? Your children can also enjoy the excitement of a new sibling. Go for it and what a great thing to do for society!

If you can afford it and you can handle more children, go for it now. It may take a while to actually go thru the adoption process, so your own children may be older when you finally get the new addition anyway. God bless you for wanting to adopt! There are so many children out there wanting a family.

Go ahead! There are plenty of children out there just waiting for loving parents like you to adopt them!

Adoption is a great act of love, however you can't always be sure what kind of background the baby/child will be coming from. If you adopt a child from an abusive home, or a baby from a family with a history of min tall illness you have no way of knowing what effect that will have on you or your kids. above all pray about it and get as much information as you can about the baby/child. God bless you and good luck.

I think that if you and your husband love children and are ready for another, then you should go for it. I mean if you can afford to give a child a good loving home, and raise them as your own, that is awesome. There are a lot of children out there that need families to love them and take good care of them. If your heart is in it, and loving a child that has no family is for you, go for it!

Go With what your heart tells you! The best way to aleviate the potential guilt factor of bringing a new child into the family is to sit and talk to your family about it now. I think that nomatter when, your family will be enriched beyond by adopting. Good Luck!

You need to make that decision as a family. If you and your husband agree to pursue it, and you feel your children are ready it is a good step to make. It can take a long time to go through the process.

By all means do it now if you're interested! Having them all closer in age might be better. I guess it depends on your particular situation, and where you plan on adopting from, of course. And Uncle Sam will usually pick up as much as half the tab on the adoption.

No if you all want to adopt then do it now and all the kids can grow up together. I would like to say that you all are very special people for doing this and God bless you.

you don't need opinions from a bunch of strangers on a matter like this. If you feel you can open your hearts and family for someone else, why are waiting and asking us?
