It's not always what people say but how they say it that makes it seem insensitive and judgemental. I have a hard time listening to someone when they say "adoption is the answer to my infertility". Why is adoption only for the infertile? If they believe in adoption why didn't THEY adopt? WHY? Or someone really young that knows nothing of our financial struggles or fertility issues saying I should just adopt. The truth is that I used to have full infertility coverage and it was the only reason we were able to even try. Adoption was so out of our reach at that point and it still is. Aviation hasn't been good to J and I've also had my struggles with jobs in Chicago. It's just cheaper to use egg donation. Also, I'm not sure I want to deal with a third party examining my life, my choices, finances, home, etc. Who are they to say if we would make good parents. Who interviews the drug addict crack head before they get pregnant. The whole thing really gets me down. What I would give to just make a baby the old fashioned way. I know that ship has sailed and I've accepted that. What I won't accept is someone judging me when they haven't walked in my shoes.
