[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are doing DE+GC, why not just adopt? Was it that important to propagate the husband/partner's sperm? If the shoe was on the other foot, how many men would be okay with having and raising a child through sperm donation?[/quote]
You are so clueless. 
Do you know how long it takes to adopt and how difficult the process is? Some people remain unsuccessful even after years of trying to adopt. When someone comes to the stage of DE+GC they are usually at the end of a long struggle with infertility and they have likely already expended a lot of their resources. Going to donor egg + GC usually guarantees a child within an reasonable time frame as opposed to starting all over with uncertain prospects. 
Do you think adopting a child is just like walking into a store and going home with a baby?[/quote]

This.
Plus the risk of having an adoption in progress, only to find out that the birth mother or father has changed their mind.  While this is perfectly understandable and acceptable, it can be devastating for the adoptive parents.  I actually know a family who ended up having to surrender the adoptive child after several months, before the adoption was finalized, due to these circumstances.  While it was good for the birth family, the adoptive mother was absolutely traumatized by the experience, especially after repeated losses dealing with infertility.  I would never want to subject myself to that potential for heartbreak.[/quote]
