What is adoption as a couple decision?

This entry describes adoption as a couple decision about bringing in a child who already has a history, and sometimes other adults, outside the pair. It lists what usually needs to be named: who wants the adoption, what kind, what the child will be told, and what happens if one person is more ready than the other.
