adoption cures infertility

Adoption as a cure for infertility. Yeah right! I was thinking about this from another blog. I heard a lot of comments growing up. People would ask if all of us were adopted or if aparents had any real kids. Thanks, asshole. "Did you HAVE to adopt?" Many comments were made as if we kids couldnt hear them. "Where did you get them?" Like we were stray puppies found on the street. My amother even commented she was glad that they couldnt have "real" kids because of the mental health issues. When I went to Denver to visit ndad, nbro's wife even had her comment. She had just had their first baby in Aug. She told me she was so worried she couldnt get pregnant and that they would HAVE to adopt. Sigh. Adoption is very rarely first choice, just look at all the infertility treatments/clinics. The three of us certainly didnt fix our aparents issue. Adad even fathered at least one child while married to amom. I wonder if his REAL kid will show up looking for him. I watched a show the other day where the woman commented on how many years of trying, surgeries etc to get pregnant. After four years, she and her husband "decided" to adopt. Their little boy was the solution to their problem. Imagine how he will feel when he hears about all the heartache while his aparents tried to conceive, and then they decided to adopt. Adoption=second choice

I know how I felt. I hate being a second choice consolation gift.
