[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had experience with this? We're about to throw in the towel on treatment and <b>love the idea of adopting</b>, but are scared about the details, especially since we have an older child to consider. Did you decide for or against adoption after infertility (especially secondary infertility)? Could you share your experiences either way?[/quote]

Adoption is trauma.  What do you love about the idea?  [/quote]
Adoption is not trauma.  When a parent is unable to raise their children, for whatever reason that is, that is the trauma.  Adoption does not cure that problem, but neither does it cause it.  Adoption is a way for that child to have a family (which every child deserves), despite the trauma that occurred prior to the adoption.[/quote]

Most domestic I can’t adoption is not a case of people being unable to parent their child.  It is a high demand market filled with infertile couples and a high profit industry who create product by co vi ding oeople that they are not ready or able to parent die to circumstances that are 100% fixable or temporary (-he, lack of health insurance, lack of funds, lack of community support).  These are reasons to HELP mothers, not remove their babies from them.  Removing healthy babaies from healthy parents for economic reasons or lack of temporary support IS trauma.  Trauma created by a hugely profitable market for babies.

Adopting from foster care is very different.  OP, are you interested in fostering or adopting older or high needs children who have no parents?  [/quote]
