[quote=Anonymous]Part of a lesbian couple here.  My partner wants to carry, I do not.  We’ve been struggling getting pregnant, and one of my friends asked me if we’ve considered adoption.  It made me want to cry, even though before we started all of this (IVF etc etc), adoption seemed like a great option. And that was coming from one of my best friends.  Not someone I didn’t really know.  It made me realize that offering infertility solutions (obvious or not) can be potentially very painful to hear when you have put so much time, effort, finances and emotional energy into having a biologically related child (in my case, a child related to my wife).  So I would suggest giving this woman some grace.  Your suggestion was not the same as a hetero couple getting a surrogate but it was probably not something she wanted to hear and particularly painful and insensitive if she really really wants to carry a biological child.  So she lashed out with the first thing she could think of.  That’s my guess of course.  [/quote]
