    Ok, another question to keep the topic going.

    Has anyone found their husband isnt or wasnt as excited about the adoption as you?

    So basically I'm just wondering how the men who are currently going through the adoption or those who have been through the adoption, reacted to it, compared to the women?

    As an example, one of my friends and her husband are starting to try for a baby now and her husband is really excited about it, even buying baby outfits and bringing them home as a present.

    Were as my other friends husband doesnt show any excitment or interest in baby stuff at all and they are pregnant now.

    So I'm just wondering how differently guys going through adoption deal with it? Do some get very excited and want to be a part of everything? Are there some guys who just dont seem interested at all?

    I think this is a good question to talk about in regards to adoption.

    Hi P - mine is as excited as me, he is happy to talk about things at anytime and wants to be an active part of all of the process. My DH has always been excited about us having a child and I feel even more so with the adoption process as it is something we are equally doing together. I know when we were ttc he felt a little helpless at times, watching me fall apart a little because my body wouldn't do what we wanted it to do.

    I guess some women experience the same feelings with their partner when it comes to a pregnancy, some partners are more excited than others.

    It's a long process (I am assuming you are talking about your DH here) perhaps as things start happening his excitment will build to the same as yours.
