  • You sound like a thoughtful dude. If your wife has similar emotional intelligence then I feel pretty confident that you two won’t make any major mistakes (we all make some mistakes.)

    You have probably already thought about all the information below:

    Don’t get hung up on genetics. Whether adopted or donated eggs, family is what you decide. And genetic or not, there will be times when you won’t like being a parent. So remember those feelings are temporary.

    As far as unburdening yourself to your wife, only you know what she’s able to take in, and when… But she may also feel resentful if you wait ten years to let her know.

    Maybe you would feel less powerless if you made a plan or a flow chart, so you can see the possibilities and prepare.

    I’ve been thinking this for years. After I manage to descramble management’s latest directives into something comprehensible I like to break it down in team meetings so we can all make fun of it together.
