Hi, our first adoption (Ava) was *too* easy! We made a website and her birth mommy Jenelle found us within 2 weeks. We have an open adoption where we keep in personal touch with Jenelle, and visit with her a few times per year. We *love* open adoption, but are willing to do closed, too, if birth parent(s) prefers it.

The difficulty? Finding our second child... a lot of birth mommies want childless couples. We see Ava as a huge asset to our second child, though, and want so bad to have 2 (or more, LOL) children. We would take any age and any race, as long as they were younger than Ava (currently 15 months).

Can some of you mamas help me brainstorm on how to spread the word? Do you think visiting ob/gyn offices would help? I keep thinking of that one... I called the Children's Home of York and the Statewide Adoption Network (both cater to the foster/abused type children) and both rarely have children under 5 years old.

Any insight is very welcome! We want so much to welcome another child into our family :)

Regards,
Barbie
