well we had another talk and his reasoning for not adopting was that " It's hard enough to be a parent when they are your own."
I just stared at him, I felt like I didn't know him. He felt this way and yet he's asking me to love and co-parent his daughter who is not "my own" in any biological way. He said that it was different. I don't see how. I said "Parenting is hard no matter what, that's not why you do it."
Right now we are at an impasse. I've suggested we go to counseling to talk it through with a neutral third party . He says he will think about it.
I appreciate all the support, suggestions and advice from everyone here.
I try to keep my chin up and remember that the universe has a plan for me. In the mean time I'll be the best mommy I can be to my furball andromeda.
