Adoption in the last few months has been playing on my mind. I am some what confused about the whole concept. Not the process, but my feelings. DH is adament he doesn't want to adopt. But he was adament he didn't want IVF a few years ago. I have only undergone IVF once, and since that cycle was diagnosed with severe endo, which has now been removed. We haven't TTC since even though we have been told that our chance of natural conception will now have gone sky high. I have my doubts like most who travel the infertility rollercoaster. We have booked a big overseas holiday for next year, through europe, US etc. Then when we arrive home we will TTC again.
My problem is, I would after some long thoughts, rather adopt from overseas, than go through IVF again. I probably sound mad? I would love to have a child that has nothing and give it everything. I know adoption can be a long and exhaustive process, but i believe i am sometimes, more cut out for this than, a biological child of my own.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but maybe this is my path in life... I guess i will have to wait and see, and then see if DH warms to the idea at a later stage!
