No... its just how it is. I stopped justifying it years ago with explanations. We became a family when my husband I git married. It began there, we extended our family through adoption. Just how it is...</description>

No. Sorry you were unwanted by your mother Ollie but if it didn&#039;t bother you as you say  - you wouldn&#039;t be spending so much time trying to bait people or start trouble. You&#039;ve morphed into a pesky little fly.</description>

No, not specifically infertility. There are children out there who genuinely need homes, and they should be taken in by families who will love them, whether as adoptive parents or guardians depending on the situation... but it doesn&#039;t have anything to do with the parents&#039; fertility status. Whether or not the parents can conceive, adoption should be about the CHILDREN who need homes, not filling an emptiness the parents feel.

Fertile people are no less able to provide a loving adoptive home. Wanting to parent a child who needs a family should be the underlying factor, not fertility or some view of changing the world.</description>

Wow, now I&#039;ve seen it all.

Yes, all the ills of the world can be solved by infertility.  Feed the homeless to the hungry eh?</description>

As most infertility is preventable, your question really makes no sense.

&quot;If you chop off your arm, will the world be a better place?&quot;  Wanna volunteer?  Sounds like an interesting experiment. 

The greatest causes of infertility is (1) damage from STDs such as chlamydia and (2) for women, waiting too long to get pregnant, as female fertility begins to decline around age 27.  Yes, there are other factors, but these are the number 1 and 2 causes. 

If a woman waits until her 30s or 40s and then tries to conceive, or if she has not practiced safe sex before trying to conceive, are we supposed to feel sorry for her?  Are fertile women supposed to hand over their children to her?  

PLUS what are you defining as an &quot;unwanted child&quot;?  Certainly you cannot mean unplanned pregnancies, as 48% of all pregnancies both inside and outside of marriage are unplanned and unexpected.  

So, assuming a woman has decided to carry her pregnancy to term, do you force a woman to decide *during* her pregnancy if the child is wanted or not?  That is coercion as there is NO way she an make an informed choice before recovering from birth.  That&#039;s the tactic adoption agencies use on mothers in order to get them to surrender babies while under the influence of pregnancy and birthing hormones.  It&#039;s called exploitation. 

Nature did not invent adoption.  Not unless Nature began 158 yrs ago.  Fostering, yes. Adoption, no.  So, quit promoting the fairy-tales!</description>

That doesn&#039;t even make sense... at all.

Nature doesn&#039;t care about unwanted anything. Nature is the food chain, global warming, natural disasters etc... Nature isn&#039;t able to care, it doesn&#039;t have emotions, hell it doesn&#039;t even have a brain to emote with.</description>

Wow. You managed to bash everyone all at once. Good job.

I&#039;m unwanted, my birthmother is an abandoner, and my adoptive parents are infertile. That&#039;s how it is huh?

What a small minded view of the world.</description>

Infertility can be an incredibly horrible and sad affliction.  Everyone has an opportunity to make the world a better place, regardless of fertility status.  Also, most of the children who need homes are older or have health problems.  There aren&#039;t nearly as many infants who need homes as families who want to adopt an infant.</description>
