Are most men not whiling to adopt? (lemmy.zip)

The only way I'll ever have children is through adoption but it seems most guys want biological children.

Most of the guys I met would say that they fear that they wouldn't see an adopted child as theirs which honestly breaks my heart a little.

I did some research and apparently most adoptive parents generally chose that option because the man is infertile, not the other way around.

So it would seem like most men are only contemplating adoption if they're infertile themselves but if their partner is they'll prefer to just get a different girlfriend over adopting kids.

Let me know if you think this is not the case, I want to believe you.

There were fears when my girlfriend and her daughter moved in. About how I'd be as a dad, whether she'd be happy here, what life was going to look like.

But it was the best decision, I love them more than anything. They make me happier than I have ever been before. Raising this girl is so rewarding, hearing her say "I love you", reading her bedtime stories, teaching her about different games, seeing her learn every day, play in sports. It makes me wish I could quit my job and spend all my time as a stay at home dad.

We're planning to get married soon. And I am so excited.
