We both had talked about adoption, but I was the one who decided NOW was the time we should pursue it. We can to our knowledge, have bios, but just have not at this point. When we'd talked before, it was always after we had bios. But I just felt God calling us to start now. So we started looking into intl adoption first, and after much reading, praying, chatting w/ friends, reading, reading, praying praying, etc, we turned to foster care. DH was very much the one pushing to do foster/adopt. I wanted to, but was scared of letting them go. Granted, I still worry how hard that day will be, but in the meantime, have learned to love these kids and let God worry about that day.
DH would also take more special needs than I feel comfortable with right now. I know that I'm the one who will be home with them all day and right now, my limits are different. We'll still see one day about that.
DH was very bored during the classes....he hated going, but made it through. He does none of the paperwork, but makes up for that by being an awesome dad. The kids worship him! The second he walks in the door they go crazy. He's been good at taking off time from work to go to court with me and be at as many things as he can.
I'd say we are both in this 110% now.
