We cannot naturally conceive children

I am the mother of a 2yr old daughter who I adopted from India. No one but another adoptive parent knows the intense joy of becoming a parent through adoption. I never went through childbirth, labor, all the stuff that women say is the most amazing thing they've experienced. But I can tell you that the adoption journey - from start to finish - was like witnessing grace. I can't even describe how blessed I feel every day, knowing this child and I found each other. Even on her most 'terrible two' days :)
If you do decide to take this path to becoming a parent, it will be hard, frustrating, exciting, and amazingly filled with joy. Get on adoptive parent listservs, join social and support groups for adoptive families .... getting connected with other adoptive families will show you whether or not this is the path you want to take.
Much luck to you and your husband!
And don't let anyone tell you you're not a "real mother" if you do decide to adopt. You're about as real as any mother can be when you go through that potty-training stage! ;-)

my grandmother adopted and also had 8 kids of her own. My "uncle" still calls her mom even though he is a grown man. I think parents who adopt are truly angels on earth. It's so nice to give a kid a family like that. My dad counted up the childern he remember living in the house with him and it was about 15. Not at the same time though.

Im an adopted kid.. I found out when I was about 10 or 11.. im 13 now and alot of my friends know.. I dont know my real parents.. but I hope to find out as or when I get older!.. I think that it is important for an adopted kid to know there real parents.. But im living with it well and my parents dont bring it up alot witch is good.. there not like other parents that talk to there kids about it all the time.. They gave me a book on it and I read it and found out alot of stuff about being adoped.. But I just hope that one day I well find out who my real parents are and what there like and wander why they gave me up at birth!

I havent been adopted but I know some people who have been. I think it is nice that your thinking about adopting a kid because you are doing them a huge favor.

My husband and I adopted an older child (9 years old when we met her) after we were told that we would not have our own (this was after 8 years of ttc). We have since been blessed with our own son in addition.
The process was rough and daily life is even rougher but it is worth it.
