Such a statement begs the question, how many adopted children do you have?
Since you ask--one. I was thirty six and in vitro was offered to us also, but we felt that, perhaps, God had another plan for us. Six months later we became very happy parents of our adopted som.
OOps--I guess that is one wonderful son, not som. And by the way, may God Bless you, too.
I disagree. Most of my children are biological, some are adopted. But most people who adopt are people who have trouble conceiving.
Many of my grandchildren are adopted because their forever mothers were unable to carry babies to term. International adoption is often much less money not to mention much less stress than IVF. (It usually around $15,000 although there are children available for under $10,000). I understand the biological urge to parent, what I don't understand is this obsessive need to parent a child with one's own genes.
