Hello, I am new to this board. This thread is very interesting to me because my husband and I are talking about adoption but we have never tried to get pregnant. In fact we try not to get pregnant.
I have never had the desire to be pregnant -- rather, I just have a "bad feeling" about it, like something would go wrong. My husband has not been tested but a doctor once told him that due to an illness he had as a child he was probably sterile.
And now I am 40 and he's 42. The chances for something going wrong with a pregnancy are increased. I cannot imagine getting an abortion because some test told me there was something wrong with my baby, but at the same time, I selfishly want a healthy child. Due to our ages we are also thinking perhaps we do not want an infant. We hear there are a lot of older children who really need homes.
