Anna, what a great story, thank you so much for sharing it gives me hope! I am ready to adopt, but my husband is not a sure. He says he is open to it but wants to keep "trying" for another 6 months.
Which I am not againts but I worry in 6 months, he will need another 6 months. And I dont want to push him before he is ready becuase it wouldnt be fair to ANYONE involved however I KNOW he has it in him and that he sells him self short of what he is truly capable of doing! He has never met a child of any race or ability that hasnt completly melten and stolen his heart! *Sigh* but he were go another 6 months of dealing with infertility. I would much rather spend the next 6 months working towards completing our homestudy and other paperwork! We both agree that adoptiong is in our future however he was hoping it was after bio children, and to me any child is MY child and I would much rather adopt now, and if I get pregnant in the future great, and if not I will adopt again! I was raised in a family where I was the first child and adopted and then my brothers were born *surprise!* a few years later!
Also I dont want my husband looking at adopting as the second best option. Once he has the child I know he WONT feel that way but I dont want him to approach the process with that mentality.
