[quote=Anonymous]We never ever intended to adopt but have discussed it, purely hypothetically/philosophically. I think I'd be mostly ok with it. My DH, on the other hand, would be staunchly opposed. His thought is that if you had a child who was difficult or had persistent negative traits -- as realistically, all children do in one way or another as they're only human, right? -- it would be harder to like a child that is not biologically his own, because he would view those traits as more removed and less of his or my own making/origin. While I don't know that I am in the same camp with this, I get it, and I think it's something to consider. [/quote]
