I know all too well about a hubby set in his ways and no matter how much logic goes into it, our hearts want what our hearts want. <br /><br />Of course you feel beyond fortunate to have P which is why you want everything you can for him, including a sibling.<br /><br />Sending hugs.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504607607464320241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-50293397470810061352011-05-16T13:52:16.039-04:002011-05-16T13:52:16.039-04:00What a tough situation for you.

I do want to remark that wanting another does not mean that you are not happy with what you have. However, I do understand how having a beautiful, special son takes some of the sting away from having to say no to other possibilities. It's just tough. Allow yourself to feel whatever it is you feel is the only advice I have. It is valid. And feeling it will help you move forward.Fiddle1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09351570423027232218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-30737945746539929022011-05-16T12:04:49.601-04:002011-05-16T12:04:49.601-04:00Oh, this all sounds so hard.

I'd say all three of you are lucky to have each other :)Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352341442556433375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-16264959556440252962011-05-16T11:43:15.556-04:002011-05-16T11:43:15.556-04:00"I don't want to live my life as though i..."I don't want to live my life as though it's lacking in some way because I have only one child.

Here's to loving what we have and coming to peace with what we thought we might have and don't. I'm trying to reshape what my life was 'supposed' to be into what it is, so you are not alone!Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085283320884411888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-75425330112566416252011-05-15T21:30:08.331-04:002011-05-15T21:30:08.331-04:00I think it's always harder when you feel like ...I think it's always harder when you feel like you the choice has been taken away from you by others or circumstances. If you talked it out and decided, I imagine it would feel better than one wanting the exact opposite of the other. I'm alawys way more reasonable with Hub when I feel I've had a say.<br /><br />And yes, you are so very lucky. :) I want a sibling for E I think, but I'm not sure. And we'd definitely be adopting if we did.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-60684535778275406352011-05-15T09:03:11.227-04:002011-05-15T09:03:11.227-04:00Karen, I'm sorry that your husband isn't o...Karen, I'm sorry that your husband isn't on the same page as you are with adopting again. I love what you wrote, though, about focusing on appreciating what you have. I don't know if we'll ever adopt again - we're not sure if it will ever be something we can do financially...so I really get the appreciating what you have part. I try to really not take any moment for granted. I even keep a little journal that I started before Zoe was born, just so I can remember all of the little things that have happened as she's grown.<br /><br />Thinking of you, though...I'm sure this has been very hard.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530698884712393184noreply@blogger.com
