I get sick to my stomach when I hear people say that we should deal with infertility by way of adoption. My mom posed a question and the answers given astounded me. Only one of the reponders knows where I'm coming from and the rest have absolutely no idea, but several immediately jumped onto the adoption bandwagon.
Seriously? Adoption is not something you jump into blindly. You don't just say, "I can't deal with infertility, so I'll adopt." People are absolutely clueless sometimes. Adoption does not CURE infertility, no matter how many people "got pregnant after they adopted". We are dealing with medical issues that aren't going to fix themselves with an extended period of relaxation. I would never wish infertility on anyone -- but I must say that I wish some people could walk a few months in the shoes of infertility. I guarantee they'd start thinking before they speak.
