Okay, I probably should have my head examined. I am considering adopting a kid...or 2. While I don't think a single parent family is the ideal situation for any kid, I certainly think it is preferable to the all too real probability that many of these kids will end up with no families at all. Everybody wants the cute little babies and toddlers, and who can blame them? But very few people want or are willing to take kids that come with a lot of baggage. For whatever their issues, many of these kids desperately want families. And Dawn always did want a sister.

Tough decision there.
Boils down to one question: Are you able to help the child(ren) without driving yourself crazy in the process?
At least, that's what I ask myself when the thought of adoption occurs.

As you can see, I'm a horrible person to ask advice of.
*chuckle*

Wow! That's quite a commitment. When will you decide?

My goodness SL, that is a big decision. You have my respect.

Did you discussed the matter with Dawn? If so, what was her reaction?
That would be a key (for me).
