[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We decided to remain childless and not adopt after infertility. We aren't child free so much as childless. Everything is so expensive that we had a choice of mortgaging the rest of our life for the chance of possibly adopting a child, foster care for the possibility of adopting a child, or just staying childless. So, we are living a fulfilled life without kids because we just didn't financially have another choice. More people with infertility will probably be making the same choice in the future. Not everyone ends up with a "rainbow baby," even if they have treatment, but no one wants to hear about that. It's just easier to call people "selfish."[/quote] I wanted to have a child so badly that I didn't even wait for a partner. I was prepared to be a single mother. I spent about eight years trying. I didn't run out of money, but I just couldn't do it anymore. Does it hurt? Yes. But I can and will have a good life anyway. [/quote]
