[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you be open to pregnancy via an egg or embryo donor?

Adoption can take a long time. I know single friends who started the process at 45 and are still waiting at 47, 48.

A donor may be a faster path to becoming a parent, especially if you are worried about your age.[/quote]

Its pure luck.  It took us six years to adopt and it was a nightmare, but after adopting I am glad we waited as our child is the perfect fit.  If you have enough money, [b]you can go to attorneys and facilities (and some agencies) that are basically selling the babies to the highest bidders[/b] but plan to spend $80K+.[/quote]

I know you are just being honest, but try to sound less okay with this. These are human beings after all.

I never said it was ok and we turned down several situations and did a direct private placement but reality is many adoptions are shady.  I know of several.  It’s the world we live in.  There is very little oversight in adoption.  [/quote]
