I've talked to my bf about adopting...even if we are able to have kids of our own I still want to adopt...and he has been very supportive of the idea. He would still like to adopt even if we can get pregnant as well. My parents adopted my little sister and both of my parents loved having that experience. My dad wanted to do it just as much as my mom did and views my sister as a blessing. And my mom loved it because she didn't have all of the pregnancy symptoms so she was able to go shopping and do everything to get ready for my sister without feeling sick, tired, sore or anything. Although she says it was still one of the hardest pregnancies because it wasn't concrete until my sister's bio mother signed the papers after she was born so there was a lot of the bio mother going back and forth on going through with it. I don't understand why so many men seem opposed to adopting. I can say from the standpoint of a sibling that no one in my family has EVER felt like my sister wasn't part of our family just because she has different blood lines. When you adopt, that child is still YOUR child regardless of whether he/she shares your DNA. Anyway, that's my opinion on this. And I can say that my bf is very willing to adopt and I am very greatful for that. I don't know what I would do if I was with someone who was opposed to adopting because regardless of the means getting there I have a very deep desire to someday be a mom.
