Will try to keep this short. Looking for honest answers as feels like ppl can't say this in real life if they have AC or BC.
We are in our early & mid 30s been together 10years & have great life, own our own home, lots of holidays, social events, love our work etc (not a stealth boast I promise). A few years ago we felt time was right to start a family, turns out we both have fertility issues so were told ivf etc unlikely to work.
So we're now on stage 2 of the adoption process. All going well so far. Except I can't shake this niggly feeling that we are too young!
The more I learn about being adoptive parents, struggles, behavioural issues, attachment, aggression, GDD, FASD, the more I think... ok we know what we're letting ourselves in for & we're still up for it BUT maybe we should enjoy our simple / fun life for a while longer?
I guess my question is, to both birth & adoptive parents, would you wait?
Or despite all the stress & struggles do the good times genuinely outweigh the bad?
