My husband and I had discussed adopting instead of trying to get pregnant. I was riding the fence and just worried about whether or not I could look at a face so different from mine and think of that person as my child. Then, we watched an adoption special on TV featuring Rosie O'Donnell. Every time they showed pictures of waiting children, I got more excited about adopting and realized that I could easily parent a child that was did not have a biological connection to me. From then on, there was no doubt in my mind!
