[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he's satisfied with the one child. Can't you join him? [/quote]

We started down this path because he wanted another - turns out another biological child only. I incorrectly thought adoption was an option. Option only - I know it’s a complicated, lengthy process and we might have decided for a variety of reasons not pursue it.

I agree it would be wonderful if I could just be satisfied with what I have. I have some resent towards him because he lobbied hard for a second child - I needed to be convinced - and now I’m sort of stuck not getting a second child.[/quote]

I"m sorry OP, I'm having a hard time sympathizing with you. You are NOT stuck not "getting a second child". You are choosing to only have a child one way - adoption. You, in all likelihood at 39, can have another child with a little help. Fertility treatments are a real option, but you are CHOOSING not to pursue them. That's fine. It's obviously not a financial issue, as adoption is just as expensive, if not more so, than most fertility protocols. It is fine if you don't want to do that for whatever your reasons are, but then you can't discount your husbands reasons for not wanting to adopt. You sound, and forgive the play on words, but childish. [/quote]
