I'm not trying to be rude or even mean.  I'm being honest.  And again, I think this is why infertile women (a) distance themselves a bit from people with kids and/or [b](b) don't talk about coming to terms with not having children (even with other people who don't have them) because they know the conversation will be filled with suggestions like this[/b] -- adopt, volunteer -- and then it feels like they should have guilt on top of their grief, guilt that they actually don't want to do those things; they just want to have a child of their own.  [/quote]

Again, it's not clear why you are in this thread when you don't want to talk about coming to terms with not having children.

You missed my point.  It's why OP posts on an online forum instead of talking to friends and family, because in casual conversation, the thing people always suggest is "adopt" or "be a great aunt" or "volunteer"!  I think OP is looking for something besides the USUAL and OBVIOUS suggestions.

that's why she specifically posts on a thread for infertility support.  And the first PP I responded to is someone who HAS A CHILD!!!

I posted above what I think are helpful suggestions.

It's not that infertile people don't want to come to terms, but I think most get tired of the usual suggestions and so they just stop talking about it.  That was my point.[/quote]
