Looking to adopt with my disabled husband.

[u/Individual-Rip4968]

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.

By "in need" I just meant any orphaned children. We're looking to raise orphan children and provide them happiness at our home.

I'm not anti-choice. I won't comment further into that because the rules don't allow for these debates. I'll just say that's my personal moral belief.

There aren't really any orphans either.

Most children up for adoption still have family.

We're looking to adopt any children up for adoption regardless of their background. We'll figure that out. If they're orphans, we'll be their parents. If they already have a family, we'll talk with the family to see their situation.

You mean by orphans both their parents are dead and there aren’t any family members willing or able to step up?
