Hi,
I'm pretty new to the forum, but we have 3 adopted boys. One is from overseas, adopted when he was 11 months. The others were adopted as newborns, just 4 months apart, and all three within 13 months! The youngest are from Alaska, and all were private adoptions. When it rains, it pours. We struggled for 5 years to adopt, then, WHAM! Babies everywhere
Anyway, that was just an introduction. I think you should follow your heart, but I also think you and your husband need to be together completely on this. I had been thinking about adoption for months. Finally, I decided to talk to my husband about it. I didn't just want to tell him I wanted to adopt, because I knew that he'd say OK, even if it wasn't something he really wanted. I wanted us to be on the same page with this. So, one morning I prayed about the best way to bring it up to my husband. That very day during lunch, he suddenly said he'd been thinking for months about adoption, and wondered how I'd feel about it. WOW! God had been working on him, just like He had been working on me. It was so right for us, and it was the right time. You'll know when it's the right time for you, too.
Best wishes,
Jenny
