Adoption

Adoption is something I've been considering for a very long time. Its something I would LOVE to do. But, there are ups and downs to adopting. The experience can be different for everyone. I am attracted to adopting a child that needs a home. I am attracted to sharing my love with a new person whether they are my DNA or not, they are my child. But I worry about the effect of it on the boys, and the child we would adopt.

My husband has been warming up to the idea over the past few years. And now, as we make the decision on what will be our final child I find myself battling between adopted or natural. Will I always yearn for one more pregnancy? Or will I always yearn to have the opportunity to choose my child?
