[quote=Anonymous]Yes, sort of.  We tried a couple of rounds of IUI, but had been told IVF-ICSI was the only way to conceive (DH had severe MFI).

It was an easy decision to move to adoption because, like you, I am adopted (as are my sister and cousin). We  actually found the adoption process easier than the fertility treatments- the only time we had to take off work was to do fingerprints locally and for the Feds whereas I still had to take lots of time off work to do the monitoring since I started work earlier than the  clinic opened, etc.

We did an international adoption and it went smoothly and quickly. However, the rules for that particular country have changed since, making it a much longer process but not necessarily longer than some domestic adoptions.

As it turned out, 3 months after we brought our precious daughter home, I ended up rather unexpectedly pregnant.  We are definitely done with kids, but would've adopted a second child had we not had a bio kid.

Good luck, OP![/quote]
