Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
If I couldn't have kids and we exhausted all other avenues, then yes I would adopt.
This probably doesn't count, but in the technical sense, I'm not really adopted.
My biological father left my mother before I was a year old, and I was adopted by my dad when (not biolgocial, but my dad in every sense of the word) when him and my mother got married when I was 5.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
Yes I would adopt
no my brother and I were not adopted...but I had a friend who had an older brother and sister that we adopted....Her mom was told she couldn't have children of her own, so they adopted two kids...then one day she got PG and ended up having two kids of her own as well.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
Obviously, I am able to have children, but DH and I agreed a long time ago that if I was not able, we would adopt.
We also discussed being foster parents if one of us could afford to stay home, so we may do that one day. We'll see where life leads us.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
I have ALWAYS wanted to adopt. I never wanted biological children. However, DH does, so we will try to have one. Regardless, I do want to adopt someday....
I grew up with foster brothers and sisters, and one of my brothers is adopted(and he is also one of my closest friends).
It is an amazing gift to some child if you are able to do this....

If I knew I could not have children, I don't know if I would adopt. 
My brother & I are not adopted.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
we are going through IF right now and will do the procedures needed to have a child biologically as much as is emotionally and financially possible.
If it doesn't pan out, we will adopt.

If you found out you couldn't have kids biologically-would you adopt? YES
Also, are you or any of your siblings adopted? NO

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
DH and I have talked about adopting. And after we have 3 kids of our own, we may adopt.
I don't know anyone personally who is adopted.

I have been dealing with IF for a very long time, and still am not sure about adoption.
Dh and I go back and forth...

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
Dh and I would adopt, I think this would be more likly for us than invetro or anything. I would consider adopting even if we did have biological children.
We have no siblings who are adopted, but our neice is and she is such an amazing child, we are very lucky to have her in our family!

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
If we couldn't have children honestly, I would re-evaluate the importance of having children. I definitely wouldn't do IVF and am open to adopting but a part of me feels like things happen for a reason and if I couldn't have a child maybe I would want to remain childless and lead a different lifestyle than I would were I to have children.
No, neither my sister nor myself are dopted.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
DH actually spoke about this very recently. If we weren't blessed with bio kids, we would adopt from a spanish country. Possibly the DR because there is such a need.
I'm not adopted (although my older siblings tortured me as a kid saying that I was found in a dumpster!    ) and neither is DH...and we don't have anyone in our families that's adopted.
One of my good friends is though and she has adopted siblings.

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
Let me just add...
I always said if I found I couldn't have bio children I would adopt...
But, when you are actually in the situation, your feelings might change. There is so much emotion involved in finding out that you may not be able to have bio kids. My feelings change daily...

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
If we found out we couldn't have children of our own - ABSOLUTELY. Dh and I have discussed this issue to no end and we agree we would adopt domestically. That's where the commonality ends though because even though we haven't had any problems conceiving, I would STILL like to adopt my second or third child. DH isn't convinced however...

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
Here's a funny that happened when we were kids.
My mother would tell him when he was being bad that she got him at Macys and could return him. He used to answer with, no you can't you got me on sale. Final sale!
My brother would also tell me that I could be sold.
We were a strange bunch. No wonder I have issues.

It's funny- DH and I were talking about this the other day. I just gave birth to a baby girl in April. I have thought about adopting our next child.
Being a mom, the thought of a child out there not being loved just breaks my heart.
Couldn't have said it better

Re: You Knew It Was Coming-Adoption
I would not adopt if I could not have children naturally/using our own "ingredients".
Cousin was adopted
Just a personal choice I guess.

I really can't say it any better than that. I'm not adopted but 2 of my SILs and 2 of my BILs are.
