Writer's Block: Family planning

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Before we had kids, we knew that conceiving might be a problem. But we were open to adoption, but not the other two. Why? The other two are a LOT of money with no guarantee of a baby. My goal was to become a parent not to have a baby (which is something I think many people forget when they start thinking about having children). I'd rather spend the money knowing I'd get a baby...and yea, yea. I hear about bio-mothers changing their minds...hello? There are a whole LOT of babies and kids in the foster system that need a good home. We were going to get one that way. (In fact, we had just started the process to do so when I turned up with an unassisted pregnancy. (i.e. Gray)) And we still might do that!

I so agree. I just looked into IVF. eek. Sadly, the hubby wouldn't be able to deal with the "check ups" that are required with adoption. I don't even really need a baby. Just a kid.

Growl.
