Mommyish Poll: How Does Your Male Partner Feel About Adoption?
A highly-publicized 2008 poll found that men adopted at twice the rate of women, but that primarily had to do with the adoption of stepchildren. As for heterosexual couples who are childless upon their union, men’s sentiments seem to be missing from the data in this first national adoption survey to include men.
So Mommyish readers, how did your husband or boyfriend feel about adoption? Did it ever come up? Were they in turn trying to convince you to adopt? Even if you didn’t end up adopting, give us the details.
