I feel drawn to adoption but DH doesnt :(

I have felt drawn to adoption for many years. Really, I would say about 2 years ago I really started looking at adoption and thinking about it. I have several adoptees in my family (including 2 grandparents! ) and I really feel a "calling" to adopt. I cant explain it. It may be the same feeling that some women get to have a biological child.

The problem is, DH does not want to adopt. He says that he would prefer to have biological children. We have been married for 4 years and not tried to have children, so we do not know if we would even be able to have them. God willing, I would love to have both adoptive and bilogical children, but DH says no.

Has anyone run into this with a spouse? I really do want to adopt. Has anyone changed their spouse's mind? DH has no adoptees in his family, so I think perhaps he isn't as interested as I am since I have many adoptees in my family.

Thanks

Laurie Beth
