So on the 6 month anniversary of meeting Wubitu we sent off our application to CHSFS. I saved copies of all of Wubitu's paperwork so it only took about 20 minutes to fill out this time instead of 2 weeks. It sat on my desk all week ready to go out but I have been reluctant to turn it in. All of the "what if's" rattled around in my head coupled with the less than encouraging reception we have recieved from our family for moving forward with our second adoption (ouch). But alas it has come down to what would be best for Wubitu and what we want as a family. Wubitu has much to gain in having a sister to play with in the same way the Noah and Carter get along. Plus research shows that as transracially adopted children get older it is much easier for them to adapt having someone of the same race along with being adopted to share thier feelings and experiences with. But even more, we, as a family have more room in our hearts for another little sister.
