Wife and I have 2 boys.

We’d cherish for an opportunity to adopt a girl one day. Circumstances aren’t favorable at the moment.

If a person’s heart is big and in the right place, they absolutely can love an adopted child as if it’s their own blood.

I 💯 believe this.

Thinking how an adopted child feels just melts my heart.

Especially if I don’t even know what it’s like to conceive naturally. Like, I will have nothing to compare it to. That’s what motherhood would look like for me

Sorry to hear that but don’t rob yourself, your partner, the adopted child of something that could be great

It’s something we just started talking about. I also just recently got diagnosed with endometriosis and another uterine condition, so it kind of motivated me to start thinking about it

Stay positive. You have each other.

I went through some life and death shit very recently.

Every day every moment matters. The good stuff, treasure it & increase it.

I’m going through a similar situation (not with me, my dad) and it’s opening my eyes to a lot 🫂

Statistical evidence actually suggests adopted children are loved more, on average, than biological children. Which is sort of sad, sort of happy.

I can definitely understand that. At least from where I’m coming from
