We are 100% fine with adoption and was on that path until we realized the cost. It's almost criminal really. It's so frustrating because if our RE wasn't constantly giving us pep talks we would have stopped IVF and went for adoption. You know what they say about hind sight being 20/20. We lost SO much money on IVF (all of it was out of pocket). We should have went to adoption after IVF #1...we could have a baby right now...and we still could have still pursued IVF later if we felt we needed to try for our own biological baby. It just stinks because I realize now how uninformed I was when we were making all of our IF decisions. I've learned SO much on this board ...I just wish I would have found it sooner.
