When people are desperately trying to have a child, and a well intentioned, well meaning person tells them that adoption is an option for them.. that's not what they want to hear... It's a decision, if they go that route, that they will come to on their own.

I won't suggest adoption to them. I recognize that should not be a decision from an outside source, nor is it comforting to hear. They do have a 9 year old daughter currently as well. I know they have been trying and praying for this baby since their other child was 2, so that is about 7 years.
I understand that just listening is the most a person can do for them really, and while I am good for that, I still feel bad. Makes me think of what my mother must have gone though when I talk to him, you know?
thanks.
