We're still looking into the new policies to make sure we understand everything. And we're going to check other countries. And lastly, but most importantly, we're going to make sure whatever we do, it's the best decision for our family. Sigh. I don't know if it's just us, but how do so many people make the decision to have a second child, by whatever means? It's going to change the whole dynamic of our nice little family now. I'm sure it would be better in many ways, but there are drawbacks for us, too. We just can't seem to decide.
Anyway...I don't know if the Zyban thing would work since, while I haven't seen any restrictions against smokers, there can be no dx for depression or treatment for over two years. This stuff is already in my medical files with most - or all, actually - of my doctors. For over three years.
We definitely would consider adopting a slightly older child, Dinah, but maybe not over four and definitely not older than our son, who will be five in June. I have to do some reading to find out about attachment issues with older adopted children. I wonder if I'm way too sensitive to (or worried about) that and might not be able to handle it all that well myself.
I'm still feeling kind of frustrated and sad, but I really appreciate all of your responses. My husband and I have a lot of thinking to do.
Thanks, everyone!
