FYL, OP. I really do hope you're able to conceive one day. And if you don't want to adopt, then you shouldn't feel pressured to by anyone else, since it seems that a lot of people are saying that all over this thread. Some people don't want to take the risk of the birth mother changing her mind. Not to mention the hard choice of whether to tell the child they were adopted, what age to tell them, and how. Then there's the possibility of them wanting to find their biological family and risk meeting some people who could be a very bad influence. Some day I will want kids of my own as well and if the OP wants to do the same, she should be able to without people being rude to her. Some people want to experience pregnancy and all the symptoms of it, good or bad, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Then stop being an idiot, and adopt a child, or give up. That's whats wrong with our society, just stop wasting your time and adopt, or give up, instead of wasting 90k. You know what I could do with 90k?? A-frigging-lot! I'm a student, I could do useful stuff, idiots like you are wasting your damn time. You don't deserve a child, actually, you'd just waste all your money when they're 0-6, buying toys and clothing and vacations they won't remember, and then you'll be eating from like foodbanks and stuff by the time they're 14.
Who in the hell are you to tell someone you don't even know whether or not they deserve a child? More importantly, who the hell are you to tell someone what life decisions to make? It's more idiotic to take in a child who you won't love completely than to do fertility treatments. Children can tell when they're not as loved as others, so adopting might be a poor decision for the OP to make. Besides, how do you know that the OP would waste all of her money if she did have a child? How do you know the birth mother won't change her mind if the OP tries adoption? How do you know if she's tried adoption and been rejected? Unless you can give proof of what you said, you have no place to tell other people how to live their lives.
#413 You don't have to be a prick. This is so uncalled for, you don't know the OP, you are no one to judge them and call them an idiot. How exactly does this OP have anything to do with what is wrong with our society? What's wrong with it is people like you being rude for no reason. Clearly you don't understand that maternal need to want a child so bad and to do anything you can to have that child. You are nothing to tell someone that you have never met that they don't deserve a child. If OP is doing anything and everything to have that child, then they deserve it more than you ever would. You are terrible to say things like this to someone who is clearly going through emotional turmoil. OP doesn't need your judgement on top of it. And agreed #417.
It's not as simple as 'I want to adopt a child' *Someone hands you a baby* The adoption process can be just as heartbreaking and miserable as multiple failed attempts to conceive! There are no rules on who can make a baby but a million and one rules to adopt/foster..
Anyone writing YDI or posting a joke is evil, and I hope you burn in hell. You have no respect for OP or people like OP's pain. Try for once to see through someone else's eyes. This is one of the most painful things one can go through. People telling OP to adopt prolly have never had to seriously consider it. Think about it like this, you get a wonderful new baby yay, and 12 - 18 years down the line that kid is really thinking about finding their real parents. You'll never be good enough. Who wants to not be able to have a kid, get one and go through that? OP I know your pain, and although I haven't met someone yet (only making it worse and worse chances for me. Consider yourself ahead of many in that respect) I understand why you are doing what you are doing. Hopefully your dreams will come true and you can post on this story that you did get preggo and **** all the assholes. Best of luck.
Hell, for 90,000 USD's I'll get you pregnant.
I understand that people want to have THEIR kids, THEIR genes, etc. But isnt that selfish? There are millions of children dying everyday because they dont have food, water and a home, and you spend 90K dollars because you want your chromosomes in a person? Sorry, but I think it's wrong.
#418: It's wrong of the people who are reproducing who can't provide a roof over a child's head, or food in its mouth, or water in its belly. It isn't wrong of the people who are in a position to have children, who have a good steady home for them. The OP, or anyone in a situation like OP shouldn't have to be responsible for picking up the slack of some irresponsible, careless human being who wasn't thinking when they were impregnated, with the exception of people who were so unfortunately raped.
I agree that the people who are having kids one after another and cant support them are wrong (doh), but that doesnt mean that its okay for people like the OP, who have the means to support how many kids they want, to create another human being and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it when there are million of other people in need of help. This is about their genes. They want kids of their own. Period. This is not about them being able to raise children and other people not bieng able to do that.
I know how you feel. My husband and I have been trying for almost 5 years to get pregnant and we can't afford IVF. Keep trying, don't let anyone convince you to stop, but don't rule out using a surrogate or adopting. There are thousands of children out there that would love to put up with you :).
I am so sorry..I know someone who has gone through the same thing. Dnt give up!
