Hi Everyone!! Just letting you all know i may not be around much over the next few weeks... My DH and I have become parents again to a little 6month old girl called Cassie. We signed the adoption papers today. (Local Aust adoption.) She's the biological sister to my our (daughter she's 18 mths old.) So it's been a year since we adopted Catie and now we're adopting again. Our families are in shock. We meet her on Monday for the first time. I'm very excited to be a mum again and so fast!!! If any said this would happen to us a few years back I'd look at them like they we're on something. (No way....I would have thought...) Anyway... that's my news...

Congradulations!!!

Ebony, this is fantastic news! I am so happy for you!

Well done to you all

I hope you will be alright getting up at 3 am by your new biological clock called a baby and hopefully you will return and with photos.

That is so wonderful, Ebony!

Ebony, that is some wonderful news! I wish you and your family much happiness!

Congratulations Ebony. You will have a beautiful family with two lovely daughters.

Ebony, I am so excited for you! Congrats!

Congratulations Ebony! This is a wonderful news!

Big congrats, Ebony!!! I'm very excited for all of you!

Dear Ebonyswanne Congratulations on the new addition in your family. I am so happy for you here. The baby is so fortunate to be a part of a loving family like yours.

Congratulations Ebony. It's great when brothers and sisters can get adopted by the same family.

Hey congrats!!! That is awesome news!

CONGRATS Ebony!!!!

Thanks everyone... We'll be meeting her for the first time tomorrow. (Monday Australian time) From her pictures she looks a lot like her older sister.( Down to a dimple on the opposite cheek from her.) It looks like I'm going to be a busy woman!!!

Best of luck, Ebony! I know everything is going to be great!

Yes, I think you will be busy! I have heard people say that having two children that are close in age is harder at first, when they are small, but easier later when they can play together and keep each other entertained. I am sure you will be as good a mother for two as you are for one. On a vastly lower scale of responsibility and commitment, I seem to have adopted a cat. She's a skinny little female calico, declawed, who had been wandering the neighbourhood here, but has now taken up residence in the garage and appears to have no intention of leaving. Five days now of proper cat food have made her a bit less thin and a bit more glossy. My other cat does not like her one bit, as he hates all other cats that exist, but he's 18 and doesn't really want to fight so he's leaving her alone, aside from hissing at her if she comes too close to him.

teehee...sounds like this little cat adopted you, LB! You'll have to post pics!

Ahhh, LB you are not only a Condor but an animal loving Swallow at heart as well. I hope all settles down with the two cats.

Good luck, Ebony!!!!
