They tried for years to get pregnant, had failed fertility treatments including IVF to no avail. After a couple frustrating years trying to adopt they both came to a point of peace and decided they were content without children. Having followed her discouraging and often heart wrenching experience I was so happy to hear she &amp; her husband had come to a point of contentment &amp; peace. </p> <p>It's great you &amp; your husband have both come to a point of peace and contentment. I would imagine that's quite a burden/cloud lifted. Congratulations also ok your son! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-surprising-change-in-desires#post-802840 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:10:38 +0000 Mrs. Beemer 802840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I were married for 10 years before we adopted our little boy this past January. For many of those years we dearly longed to conceive a child. We prayed and hoped and dreamed and planned, but to no avail. I have been slow in recognizing a change of heart over the last 4 months. I shared this with my husband last night and he feels the same way: we no longer desire to conceive a child. We hope and pray that we will be able to adopt another child, but feel deeply satisfied and grateful to be where we are. I just wanted to share this and to celebrate the peace and gratitude we feel. Has anyone else experienced a similar change of heart? </p>
