How to Persuade

I’m trying to talk my husband into adoption if we can’t have a biological child. How easy was it for your spouse to come on board?

We were always both on board but I find that a lot of people who never considered adoption before change their minds when they meet us and our kids. So if you can find adoptive families to connect with.. or even find a couple families on YouTube.. Christy Gior is a popular one.. SEEING it makes a world of difference.

It took me 2 years to convince him to give adoption a chance. He wasn't sure he even wanted kids. Our journey took way longer than most (6 years) so trying to convince him to do it all over again has not been successful. He loves our daughter but doesn't want to sit on a waiting list and jump through all the legal hoops until finalization again.

My husband and I tried to conceive for 5 1/2 years before becoming foster parents and eventually adopting our 3 amazing kids. I think I was the one who needed to be convinced about adoption though because I just wanted to be a mom soooo bad and had my brain set on conceiving one. We adopted almost 5 years ago, and I ended up having my fallopian tubes removed after we adopted. Live and learn. lol

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!
