Why would you need to convince your parents? I’ve already flat out told my parents that as soon as everything is settled, I’m adopting. I have a child, but I never dreamed that I would only have one. And as far as potential rishtas go, why limit yourself to one specific pool? As long as said rishta is Muslim or willing to convert, what does it matter? You’re already damaged in society’s eyes. You might as well be happy and throw it back at them!
