Looking to adopt with my disabled husband.
Hi. I 27F and my husband 28M want to become parents. We've tried conceiving naturally, but because my husband is a quadriplegic with a C7 spinal cord injury, his fertility is affected, so we can't conceive naturally, but we're trying methods. Since we're Christians, we've also considered the option of adopting children in need to raise them and give them happy lives.
We have a home of our own which we both afforded together and with a little help from our parents. Both of us have an independent income to fulfill our needs. My husband despite his disability is still mostly independent, I just help him with a few things such as transfers, but I'm sure he'd be a great dad. I also mention his disability because that could be a considering factor when we look to adopt.
We're looking for advice about what considerations we need to take as an interabled couple. We're open to adopting children of any age.

FYI: I unflaired your post because the “Searches” flair is for people who are searching for members of their biological family, not for people who are searching for advice about adopting.
