[hoping2adopt1]

I know this is an old thread, but I had to respond anyways. You are not alone, most of us have husbands that are hesitant, but not because they dont love children. Men just want to make sure they can take care of their children. It is still better a child has a mom and dad, not a single parent if it can be helped. Adoption is not to be solely for the benefit of a single woman, but for the the "child" to find the most stable home, getting what the child needs most, which is a mom and a dads presence in their life. All of the reluctant dads quickly fell inlove with their adopted children from what I have read. But a single mother to me is still better than a child being stuck in an orphanage. I talked to my husband about my desire to adopt about a year ago, and he totally ignored me, I got the cold silent treatment pretty much. Now 8 months after my miscarriage being 5 months pregnant, he has finally listened. He is still worried about how to afford it, but he says he would rather adopt a toddler instead of a baby. I am fine with an older child too, I just want to give them a home with a mom and dad. I think us women jump in to adoption with our hearts, and men must think it through first. I believe if we pray, God will do the rest if it is meant to be.
