[quote=Anonymous]I'd include it naturally in the "how are babies made?" conversations, taking my child's lead from the questions he asked. I feel as though leaving that information out would turn it into something secret or shameful, whereas there's no downside to saying "We really wanted you, and it wasn't working on our own so we went to the doctor and he/she helped." When they're ready for more details they'll ask. If I found out as an adult that I was conceived via IVF, I'd be taken aback. First of all it would hurt me that my mom hadn't shared such a emotional time in her life with me. I like to think we're closer than that. Secondly, I think I'd want to know about family history while I was making decisions about when to start trying, how long to wait before looking for help etc . . . [/quote]
