What do you do when you and dh are in debate?

My hubby and I have an 18 month-old son conceived by IUI. We started trying for #2 eight months ago and this time has been a battle. We failed many IUI attempts and had already spent alot of money when we hit the IVF or adoption decision. I personally wanted to adopt. I had already done research and IVF did not sound appealing to me. My hubby on the other hand said he wanted to exhaust all of our natural biological options before going the adoption route. After pricing IVF vs. adoption, we realized IVF was cheaper. So he won that battle. Now we are going through our first IVF. I am hoping this will work so this never becomes an issue, but I really am against any more fertility treatments. I would like to adopt if this IVF cycle does not work. I really don't think he will be open to it though. How do I approach the situation if I am put into that position? I don't want to just refuse to go through anymore, because I think he would possibly resent an adopted child. I just feel like there are so many children in need of parents out there and I have already given my husband a natural born son. Anybody have any advice?
