Hello! I have been lurking on this site for a few months now and I have learned a ton. I have been patiently waiting for my DH to announce that he is ready to go ahead and start the adoption process (domestic Infant adoption). He has had some career issues he felt needed to be taken care of first.

Well last night he told me that he is ready to go ahead!!!While I am super excited and ready to go I wanted to get some input from you ladies who have been here already. How involved did your husbands get into the adoption process? I am worried that my DH is not as involved as he should be, while I dont want to push him, I also want to make sure he is as invested in this as I am. I am the control freak in the family and have no problem keeping track of all the details and paperwork, I just sometimes feel like he should want to know a little more than he does. We have a 4 year old son and my DH is an amazing Father so I am not worried about that end of things at all. I know things are different for each family but I just wanted to get a feeling for how things worked in other families. Were your DH's just on the sidelines until the baby/child arrived or were they right in there through the whole process?
