another post for you, POF

since january, i have been trying every approach i know of to get dh to discuss [and hopefully agree to] adoption yet he is 99% opposed to it. the only reason i don't say 100% is because we're still married and i somehow got him to agree to [reluctantly] go with me to talk about it with a psychologist tomorrow. she's a great friend and i really hope she can help us come to the decision you and your dh have made.

anyway, the point of this post is to say you are an inspiration for understanding that there is more than one way to make a family. when i read your post the other day i was so happy for you and so hopeful that i would be able to write a post like yours soon.

you are so lucky and of course, i wish you the best of luck in your adoption process.

    you're so sweet. i just always knew i wanted to adopt and when we were ttc i always had it in the back of my mind that if i had a biological child, that's one less child who will have a family.

    i want to adopt all of my children and hopefully each one of them will make the people they meet understand that adoption [especially international adoption] isn't what they misperceive it to be.

    aside from russia, ethiopia has always been at the top of my list of countries. i think in a few years and after one or two kids dh might realize that race isn't an issue either. we're a long way from that but i am confident that once we go to an orphanage and he sees the children he will change his mind about wanting bio kids in the future.

    i'm so excited for you and i hope you will share parts of the whole experience so we can hear about it! you must be so excited, i know i would be every day, knowing in just months i could have my child.
