I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't see anything wrong with adopting another right a way. Barely a month after Kuhio died, my husband adopted Halo. At the time, she looked so much like Kuhio that it freaked me out. I asked my husband if I died, would he try to find my "twin" and marry her? He said no. (Not exactly sure how to take that).

Every baby deserves to be loved. Halo quickly taught us that even though she looked like Kuhio, she had a completely different personality, so we just had to learn "her" ways. It was a joy and blessing to get her off of "death row". The only thing I can think of worse that losing Kuhio was to have lost her AND never have adopted Halo.

Whatever you decide is alright. You'll know when the time is right -- maybe its now -- maybe its not. But, I think the fact that you're even looking means your heart and head are getting ready.

Please keep us posted!
