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?

I personally don't have experience with this but have a good friend who has expressed the same feelings. 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 & her husband had come to a point of contentment & peace.
It's great you & 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!
