After 14 years with my husband, 4 blood children, and an elective vasectomy, I have it on my heart that we're not finished adding to our family. I don't understand this message either. I was confident in the vasectomy decision and now after studying what the word says about contraception, I'm not sure if I feel guilty or if I'm really getting a message from God to add to our family. I feel adoption is the way the go but my husband's heart is hard to the subject of adding to our family. He is a strong believing man but does not feel as though the idea to add another child is in our plan. He only becomes stressed and worried at the thought. I can't help what I feel and too many "coincidences" are happening to make me believe differently. I'm terrified that if we don't explore the option to either reverse his vasectomy or adopt from foster care or adopt from overseas, that I'll end up being resentful and I don't want that. I'm afraid I'll resent my own contraception decision or worse, resent my husband for not allowing what I'm hoping to be a God given blessing. Need prayer for obvious direction from God to both myself and my husband. Also need prayer that if adoption is the way we are lead, that it be easy and worry-free for my husband's sake. Also that if vasectomy reversal be the way, that doors open up and it be painfree for him and successful. Thank you all for your time.
