Please all keep us in prayer. I feel that we would really benefit from adoption as well as the child we would adopt but hubby is not so sure. It has to be right for all of us but it's heartbreaking that we are not on the same page here. We have 3 daughters now but only one left at home. She will be 11 next month and actually was the one who started pressing us to adopt a sister for her. She misses her older sisters and does not like being now an only child at home. We have an empty room and so much love to give. my daughter and I would love to adopt a girl her age who needs a home. I don't want to pressure my hubby at all but wonder if there is any information/advice I can share with him so it will not seem so scary and negative to him?? My hubby grew up in a very abusive home with his Grandma and Uncle and should have been removed but was not. His Mom died and his Dad went to prison before he was even born so he has his own issues to deal with but keeps the faith and always strives to move forward. I believe he is afraid he could not deal with many of the issues an older child may have. (too close to home) Has anyone been able to work through this kind of thing or should we give up??
