Although I think we were always hoping to have our own
biological children, I believe that my wife and I both felt that we would
probably adopt or foster a kid or two during our lifetime. With that in mind, it wasn’t easy for us to ultimately
realize that we couldn’t have our own biological children (there is still a
chance and we won’t quit tryingJ).
I’ve always thought about adoption, but once we came to the
realization that odds weren’t on our side to have our own biological children,
adoption seemed like the natural option.
That doesn’t go without saying that there are many tough decisions you
have to make when going through the adoption questionnaire; but, at least for
us, it just felt right.
I’m sure it was easier for me to come to grips with the fact
that we should look into adoption than it was for my wife. I know she felt like us deciding to adopt
meant her body didn’t work, which I’m beginning to understand that’s more
common than I thought.
What I have realized is that adoption is a wonderful thing
that gives children the opportunity to be in a good home and couples the
opportunity to be…well, parents! I have
also perceived that whether or not families are made up of biological children,
adopted children or a mix of both, they still create the most important unit on
this earth…a family.
