[quote=Anonymous]DH and I actually wound up going to therapy about it. Turned out he was afraid of the expense and not sure he'd like babies or know how to bond with them, and I was afraid of all the work falling on me and disliking the baby stage so much that I'd be stuck hating the child even after the baby stage. So we adopted a 3 yr old after seeing a financial advisor who mapped out the expected costs, and DH wrote out a list of things he'd do to show he'd be an active and present parent. A year after that our child's birth mother asked that we also take her then 2 year old. That year and a half was hell, but the 2 year old is now 5 and I *am* definitely in love with him despite how difficult he was for me in the beginning. [/quote]
