I can understand where he's coming from as far as the govt. involvement. We homeschool,and I'm not crazy about seeing social workers coming over all the time, but I've learned to deal with it.
I think it's important that you express your desire to your husband, could you not ask him to consider your request and pray about it? that's what I did, and I didn't say another thing for months. Finally my dh brought it up.
I think he was so convinced (and so was I ) that our reversal was going to work. Now looking back, i feel the Lord was just wanting us to trust him, no matter what the outcome. We also just happened to have a few good friends who had adopted special needs kids,that we just fell in love with.
My dh didn't understand my desire to have more children (bio or not, I didn't care), but now I think he's changed a bit. It doesn't seem like it's something men dwell on, like women do. It's the "motherly" instinct in us,I guess.
