Anyone without fertility problems ttc?
I'm young and unmarried and just kind of looking ahead and figuring out what I want to do in the future, but as far as I know I'd have no problems conceving and I intend to adopt, even though I'm open to the possiblities of pregnancy. I just love adoption and want it to be apart of my life.
I was wondering if anyone here has actually adopted for the love of adoption and then had a pregnancy that wasn't highly unexpected because of medical problems?
It just seems like it would be a whole different journey of emotions when you've struggled with infertility than when you've adopted without that issue in your life. I'm curious if anyone has any input.

How being a TCK relates to my desire to adopt some day: I grew up an international child, and while the walls between country and race mean less to me than most, I grew up with an understanding of the influence of clashing cultures that is hard to explain to someone who exists in solely one culture. God has given me the gift of experiences to fuel my desire for international adoption and to understand an internationally adopted child's world.
