Hopefully not!!! Plenty of kids to adopt though! If you’re not willing to adopt a kid and aren’t able to conceive or carry, look into IVF, egg/sperm donation, surrogacy. But make sure any donation and surrogacy is done ethically!!! Many countries ban donation and/or surrogacy. Some countries it’s legal but not done ethically and it’s unfair to the young, poor women offering to carry a baby out of desperation for money, not understanding the risks to their health and life!

Please use US surrogate from an agency with good ethics and try to make sure the woman understands all risks that can come with pregnancy and birth, although I think in the US you have to have given birth once to even be a surrogate. Gay couple I know recently welcomed a beautiful baby with egg donation and surrogate.

Hope you are able to have a family if you want one, but I wouldn’t expect adopting a baby to be possible. Adopting a kid can take years, but my friends who used a surrogate and donor started the process in 2020 and baby was just born few weeks ago. There were some obstacles along the way and money wasn’t an issue for them. Much like couples who conceive on their own, loss can occur along the way. No matter what method you use, it could take a couple years to have a baby or adopt a child. Conceiving doesn’t come easily to a lot more couples than we realize. Find a community going through the same struggle and don’t give up if you want to be a parent. Good luck OP! [/quote]
