interesting thread and responses!
As for us, we had talked about adoption for over three years and never followed through with it because one of us did not feel ready. Then a little over 9 months
ago I had a strong feeling about adopting. I wrote a letter to my wife explaining how I felt and gave it to her. After reading my thoughts about it she agreed that the time was right to begin the process. Nine months to the day that I wrote that letter, our Daughter Sadie was born. So I believe that things happen for a reason and I am so thankful that we have Sadie in our lives.
Like everyone else here - I think that both spouses needs to be on board 100% and confident that adoption is what they want. In the past two weeks people have come up to us and said "Wow - what an easy way to get a baby".... Well I guess my wife does not have the physical issues that she did after giving birth but I am sure that most adoptive parents can attest that there is not a lot that is "easy" about adoption.
