ITA. My big thing is I am *finally* getting my life back. J can do
things if I ask him, he sleeps and eats well, will stay with a sitter,
etc. I really don't want to go back to insomnia and pablum, LOL...plus
preschool is next year and that will give me more time to do the things
I need to do around here.
OTOH, even a newborn infant is only 2.5 more years to get to where I am
with J now, so in the big scheme of life, that's really not a big deal,
ya know?

My DH wants an infant again. I would be content to go with an older
toddler/child (but younger than J) but the state here is so messed up
in the way they handle adoptions.
