Today my parents went to their lawyer in regards to including family members in their will and actually asked the lawyer next steps in regards to the will if their daughter has another child. Certainly they were talking about a child through adoption as I have not mentioned wanting to get pregnant. I played Devil’s Advocate, testing the waters — perhaps just trying to see her true feelings and my mom told me “This child is a part of me because this child is a part of you.” That answer felt very right to me. She used the present tense which felt very definite too. How unbelievably validating that my parents thought to ask about how to include our future child in their will. Thank you mom and dad!

Very nice, very thoughtful. Its so imporant for family to be supportive and “claim” the adopted child as part of the family. She will be your daughter, not your adopted daughter.

That’s great.
And it’s exciting that your husband is getting more comfortable with the thought of adopting.
I do believe you’re going to do it!
