  1. Congratulations Family Love. It sounds like you have peace with your decision. Keep us all posted on your progress.
  2. We also suffer with male factor infertility. (Katharine we were actually in the orientation group with you guys the first time around. I have enjoyed getting updated with you through the forum) We are also againers and like Katharine we have not really discussed the infertility issues this go round like we did before. I truly feel in my heart that we have resolved that part of our lives. Shortly after meeting our son we both looked at one another and said that we were thankful for infertility and let me say we have come a long way. I am sure that every adoptive parent feels that same way to some extent. We both just feel very strongly that this is God's plan for our lives. He never intended for us to have biological children. It is not the infertile partner's fault, it is just God's plan. I don't really know what to say about reassuring your partner. I think for us personally, it helps that I never forced or persuaded him to have exploritory surgery, etc. I totally left it up to him. I have never brought that back up to him either. I also restated our vows to him and told him that no where in there does it say he has to get me pregnant. It says he has to love me and he does that perfectly. I think we really dealt with it and I really reassured him when we first started our adoption journey. I honestly feel that he does not feel less because of our situation.
