Adoption

I want to adopt a baby really bad! I also want to have my own but I also want to give another little life already born a loving family. But my husband is completely against it. In his opinion adoption is great and all but he doesn't feel its right for our family to "shop" for a child. He feels its not right picking and choosing. I've been trying for 2.5 years to get him to realize that's not how it works but he won't listen. :( anyone else know if ways to try and coax him into allowing adoption for our family? Anyone else husbands like this?
