[quote=Anonymous]OP, my dh and I were not able to conceive at all, so count yourself lucky. We were already in our early 40s when we realized that having a baby wasn't going to happen. I think if we had been younger we would have pursued adoption, but being older we saw that adoption was a role.of the dice. Some friends did well with adoption, others have had lots of problems and they have never bonded well with the children. And, the adopted children have sometimes had problems which haven't manifested until the teen years, which have proved to be more severe than the issues their bio children experienced. We decided to remain childless instead. You have one healthy child, I can see why your dh, at age 46, may want to stop there. If you adopt an infant right now, he will be around 68 by the time that child is old enough to graduate from college. I would keep trying to have a child naturally. [/quote]
