My husband was reluctant as well, but with prayer and my giving some information (a little bit and then backing off for a month or so) he came around. I have to say that if he is not really on board that will probably come up in the homestudy and you may not be approved. I know one lady who thought she had talked her husband into it, but in the homestudy his reluctance was pretty clear and they were not approved because of it. She was so angry at him that they ended up divorced. The other thing for the lady with five kids to consider. If you divorce your husband are a single mom of several kids you may find it difficult to be approved as well. While it's becomming easier for singles to adopt (though it's still easier for married couples) it would be very hard to adopt if you already have three or more children at home. I am adopting number four and getting questioned about it and I am married. I had to convince them that I had enough room and money and time for four children. I know people who have adopted large numbers of children, but not single people and most get the same questions.
