Donate
i know what you mean

I have a friend who recently had to undergo an emergency hysterectomy. She and her husband had not been able to conceive after many years. I recently shared with her that my husband and I are going to be adopting. As far as we know, we can have bio kids as well, just haven't yet. We just want to provide a loving, caring home for kids out there. I think she was very resentful when I told her. I asked her if she ever thought about adoption and she did not act interested. I have tried to share some of the information I've learned on here. I know she would make a great mother and wish she would be open to the idea of adoption. I don't know how to share my excitement and not make her feel bad. I guess just being honest and open is the best way...maybe she will realize that the joy of adoption can be hers as well.
