My husband, on the other hand, while open to the idea of adopting, refuses to accept the idea of adopting a child outside of our nationality... And since this is nothing new to me and my family I don't understand. It breaks my heart to think that he and I are not on the same page aout this. A child is a child, no matter what! I have a strong feeling that his family plays a large part in his stance on this subject, and I am cannot understand how he can be so closed-minded. Please let me know if any of you hve encountered this same problem and how you have dealt with it?

I can see how that is confusing for you. My DH was pretty closed to adopting period until a doc told us to move and adopt. Now he's ready to go in that direction. But we're a few years older than you, so maybe it's just a thing about time passing.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Good Luck to you!
