What were your feelings when you first considered adoption?
Were you always positive it was the best choice for your family? If you have biological children, were you ever afraid you wouldn't love an adopted baby as much?
We are considering it. Honestly, I have wanted to for some time, and now dh is on board and says the ball is totally in my court at this point. Now that it is a very real possibility, I am scared. All these thoughts are going through my head, but the biggest is I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bond to the child/wouldn't have the maternal instincts for him/her.
However, I had these same fears when I was pregnant with Levi.
DH wants to adopt internationally. I do too, but worry that will make it even harder to bond, b/c there will be no chance of getting a very small baby. I worry about attachment disorders.
I've been consumed with thinking about this.
