[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the same way. I know for me, pregnancy/childbirth is an important part of transitioning to motherhood, and I question my ability to make that jump without those transitions. This is not a slight to adoptive parents -- I know many. It's a reflection of knowing myself, my background, my needs. I am in awe of adoptive parents.

When I was struggling with infertility, my partner and I discussed this and decided if we couldn't conceive, we'd just not be parents and focus energy toward the next generation in other ways. In the end we had a baby. But adoption was not the path for us.[/quote]

I was somewhat similar and I think I get Anniston. I never REALLY wanted to be a mother in the way other people seem to, CERTAINLY not in a, "by any means possible" way. For me it was like, "well, if the stars align and I get pregnant with a healthy pregnancy, I guess that's cool, will be a new challenge." But, like Anniston, it was not something I wanted to do alone and I was also not at all interested in adoption. Of course it could be wonderful, but I viscerally knew it was not for me. Felt the same about egg donation. Took me til 40 to be like, what will be will be, but I think Anniston had a lot more life turmoil happening in her 30s and 40s.[/quote]
