[quote=Anonymous]he has a right to his feelings, even if they change. You have a right to yours. They are in conflict, which is hard, but its not anyone's fault. Dh and I had this discussion and I was the one who was far more hesitant about adoption than he was, for my own reasons.

That being said, I think you're reacting in a manner that isn't helpful. If adoption is off the table, rethink your other options. Why not pursue fertility treatments? It gives you a better chance of getting what you want (child #2) in a manner that he prefers (bio kid), so it seems like a good option. and 4 months is too early to be freaking out, though you should see a fertility specialist, given your age and your anxiety surrounding this.

Finally, it may be very hard to let go of the idea of 2 children, but that could be the reality no matter how you pursue another kid. Adoption doesn't always work out either (and for some of my friends it took multiple years). I think you should focus on fertility and put aside adoption for now, but you also have to stop blaming your husband because you guys need to be in this together. [/quote]
