[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going through IVF right now and won't do donor egg which is causing issues with my DH. I don't understand why women are so willing to carry just so their husband's genes can carry on. For those saying infertile men did this, injecting semen is a lot less work than going through the DE process - educate yourself. Also, in that case if my DH had wanted to go adoption route I would have understood the logic, not sure if I would make peace as I am not in that position.

For those that are saying you don't know what you get with adoption, this is true with DE. How well do you really think they vet donors? I agree with you OP, but this is your friends decision and obviously you're not confronting her about these choices but understand wanting to compare notes and talk it out, especially when in same boat. Seven rounds of IVF sounds devastating for your friend.[/quote]

Over 10 rounds...[/quote]

We did 9 rounds - with a pregnancy loss with each one.  It was very difficult but in the end we have 2 lovely boys.

Just recently added a foster child to the mix - since the entire time we were going through IVF treatment there was a sibling trio of children of a cousin of mine struggling with addiction - the children had gone into foster care/placement for adoption in that time.  No one told us (in fact they hid it) because they didn't want the child(ren) moving out of state in order to stay with family.  The grandparents had picked out "strangers" to be the children's' adoptive families.

I just found out about the 3rd child in time to intervene and he is now with us.  Child # 4 is also on the way.  Hoping to help the mom to get her life together and be able to keep the baby.  She had asked us to adopt the baby that is with us now.[/quote]

You altruism is underwhelming.[/quote]

Dp. Why would you say that?[/quote]
Another disturbed adoption post troll. [/quote]
