In Australia, it is infinitely easier to gain access IVF than to access the adoption of a child. Australia has one of the most difficult, invasive, expensive and lengthy adoption processes of any of the developed countries. For an average Australian who wishes to have a child, they would be FAR more likely to have one through IVF than adoption.

Australia also has adoption laws that mean you cannot even keep trying to conceive via Assisted Conception once you start the adoption process. So in order to try to adopt, you have to stop trying to have a baby by any other means. Makes it doubly difficult, don't you think?
