Scenario

When love feels conditional on biology

My wife wants to adopt a child and I want to support her but I am scared that I will not be able to love someone else's biological child the same way and I cannot say this out loud.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The assumption that love should be unconditional conflicts with the reality that attachment often depends on factors beyond conscious choice.
