Hello and welcome!
We have one bio son and one adopted son. When we first started talking about kids I brought up adoption but my DH wouldn't discuss it so we tried on our own for over a year. Then we started all the fertility treatments and were eventually successful (although our bson was a preemie with some health issues). Six months after DS1 was born, the DH started talking about another child. This time I firmly said "x" months trying on our own and "x" dollars towards fertility treatments and then I am done trying for another bio child. In time, DH came around and he was the one to bring up adoption this time. Our adoption journey was pretty long but looking back, I think we needed it to be that way and I wouldn't trade our ason for the world! Our family was built the way it was meant to be and the love I have for my boys is exactly the same and we couldn't be happier!
I wish you luck in whatever path you take to build your family.
