We all know about the issues that come when one partner wants kids and the other doesn’t want any, but what about when people want kids — they just want to adopt? The time frame might not match up with them, either, and that causes just as much of an issue as any other couples’ parenting choices. “When you’re ready to adopt but your partner isn’t” explains what happens when you go through this…

Key Takeaways:

• When a couple gets pregnant, often there is one partner who is already in the ‘parenting mindset’ before the other.
• As an adoption consultant, I see the same thing in the adoption process.
• I speak to many prospective parents who are not emotionally on the same page during the process — or, sometimes, even when the baby is placed with them.

“If you find yourselves having trouble communicating throughout the process, consider going to couples counseling with someone that both of you can trust.”
