not about adoption

Quote From: beautyqueen616

I did not read though all of the posts but I just want to say I am dissapointed and offended that adoption was not mentioned once on the show.  Being a mom is not about becoming pregnant.  My husband and I knew we wanted to adopt even before we faced fertility issues,  the plan was to have both bio and adopted children.  Things don't always happen the way we plan.  Four years after we started trying we decided to turn towards adoption.  Four years after that is when we finally got our baby girl.  I just cannot understand shelling out thousands of dollars for fertility treatments that may not work.  I did recently go through testing to find out my problem but more so because I am in so much pain.  I have endometriosis and my ovaries are not producing "good" eggs.  I am having surgery to relieve some of my pain but the odds of me ever becoming pregnant are slim and that's ok.  I love my daughter more then anything and hope one day to give her a brother or sister,  well actually several of each but I don't make plans,  they make themselves.
 The show was not about adoption. It was about the desire, some times obsessive, to have a child.
