[quote=Anonymous]We only told my parents, his mom, my sister, and maybe 2 or 3 friends. The reason is that we didn't plan to do IVF, even if it were needed (and in the end, it was, though we still didn't do it) and always planned to move to adoption after a few IUI cycles. I know there's a stigma surrounding adoption and people feel sorry that you "had" to adopt. I know this because I myself am an adoptee. I didn't want anyone feeling sorry for me or my kid, or even worse, stigmatizing my child. We adopted for a whole bunch of reasons, of which infertility played a small part. I'm sure people assumed it was all due to infertility, but let them wonder.[/quote]
