Infertility Support Group

Sorry but I don't feel that this is supporting any "INFERTILITY awareness" as fertile couples are able to adopt as well.

Yes, and I think what's being posted should be taken into consideration that this is an infertility support group, and this is NOT supporting at all!

ADOPTION DOES NOT RESOLVE INFERTILITY!!!!

Honestly? I'm not opposed to having this post on this forum. Adoption obviously doesn't solve infertility. But for many of us here, it might be our only chance for children. I, for one, would love all the first-hand info about adoption that anyone could provide here, because I want to be a mom, whether that means giving birth or adopting. And let's face it: lots of infertile couples adopt.

Sorry for the triplicate post. The site was glitching.

I agree with Sassy 100%

Well, I am currently waiting to start my first IUI cycle, so obviouslt Infertility is no stranger to me. On the other hand, I am an adopted child. I can honestly say that it has been the greatest blessing for me to have been given the chance to have a mom as fantastic as mine. Anyone who would want to ask me questions or hear my story, you are more than welcome to PM me or add me as your friend or just ask here and I'll be glad to answer your questions. Adoption is the greatest act of love and not only does it fulfill a dream to become a parent, it also means hope for those who would most likely die or remain orphan for the rest of their lives.

Please don't badger Sassy. My husband and are at the place where the medical options are not for us. So at this point, we are tearfully and and wisely considering our adoption options. Some people have tried IVF without success. Some people are not at a place where they want to use someone else's egg or sperm.
I cry every week because I just don't understand why this fertility issue is happening to me and my husband. . . I am struggling today with these emotions. Please be sensitive to those of us who are traveling this road; and adoption seems the best option for some who want to be parents. My grandmother and others in my family have many children, and I don't. It is a bittersweet decision. Some children need parents. Some parents need children. Be blessed everyone in your personal decisions and in whatever stage of infertility you are in. Thanks.
