POLL: Adoption
If you and DH tried everything in your power to have a baby, and you couldn't, would you adopt?
Just curious and bored...

Re: POLL: Adoption
I absolutely would adopt. Even before DH, I always said I would adopt a child if I could.

same here.
i think the people that do are amazing, and that more people should. Yet, i don't know if it's a path that we would take.

Re: POLL: Adoption
ABSOLUTELY! My niece is adopted, she is a domestic adoption, and a very lucky little baby, and I would adopt even after I have my own kids. It is such a wonderful thing to do. JMHO

Re: POLL: Adoption
I absolutely would. I'd actually like to consider this after having our own for a second child. But DH is sort of on the fence about it so I guess we're a maybe.

Re: POLL: Adoption
i dont think we would, DH is adopted and i've seen him struggle with this his whole life. Some people do well with it, like his sister, but he always has a hard time grasping that someone didnt want him, no matter what anyone tells him,,, becuase he would have died if he wasnt adopted fact, but he doesnt care. he says he would have rather died than lived his whole the woman who carried him for 9 months gave him up, although since we;ve been preggo he begins to realize who difficult it must have been to give him up.
thats just our situation

Re: POLL: Adoption
No. What is meant to be is meant to be imho. If we cannot conceive, then we were not meant to be parents.

Re: POLL: Adoption
We still may adopt instead of seeking fertility treatments. What I do not know is whether I would be able to handle a long process of fertility treatments, then begin a long adoption journey. We may opt for one or the other early on (and maybe soon).

For yourself and your situation right? I would hate to think you feel this way in general?

Just curious, are you TTC right now? You would be surprised at how much your opinion changes when you do.

Re: POLL: Adoption
i don't know if i would. and i hate when i hear, oh, we would just adopt. like its so easy, adoption is a long process. and i imagine more draining emotionally then trying to have one's own baby. this is jmho.

Yes for my situation. I cannot pass judgement on what others chose to do. If adoption is right for them, God bless them and the children they choose to be part of their family. It is just not something I could do for myself.

Not necessarily, but not taking precautions so to speak. My husband feels the same way I do about the subject and that's what is important. I would imagine it would be difficult if DH and I had opposing views to the subject.

i have thought about this as well. both fertility treatments and adoption are very expensive, and i don't know that we could afford both, at least not one after the other... so if i had to choose one or the other, i am not sure which i would choose. on one hand, i would give just about anything to have the experience of being pregnant and giving birth to a child. on the other hand, adoption guarantees you a child to love at the end of the day, while infertility treatments don't necessarily. plus, i've always wanted to adopt a child anyway.
i don't know, i guess dh and i will cross that bridge if we get there...

I was talking about this just yesterday with a friend of mine. She really wants to have a baby and really wants to experience pregnancy. I want to have a child. Pregnancy is a means to that end, but I do not feel like I have a need to experience it.

God willing you will never have to put that statement to the test.
I could not conceive because I am a little older. To insinuate that God did not want me to be a mother - is an insult and extremely hurtful.
