hi,

we had several calls before we felt dd was the right one. we agreed that we both had to be on board 100% before we went forward. It meant that there were several situations that would have worked for one of us, but not both. We also agreed that the other could say no with no retribution or pressure. I think this is the best thing that you can do, since it's best for your marriage as well as the child(ren) you bring into your life.

I still think about these children, remember their situations and names (those that had them), but I know we did the right thing.

adoption is sometimes hard.
