Stella,
I agree with you whole heartedly. I have also been through several surgeries and 2 failed IVF cycles which came to an enormous amount of money. Infertility treatments are expensive and a definite emotional roller coaster. After experiencing infertility treatments, I believe that I can handle anything, but I am glad that I gave the infertility treatments a try before pursuing adoption.
We both want children, but I am choosing not to take the 20-30% success rate chance that is offered by infertility treatments. Not to mention, if the infertility treatment is not successful, I will be back to the same starting point. I need something a little more solid. We are in the very beginning stages of the adoption process..just about to start our homestudy. I am ready to begin this new endeavor. I am thankful for this forum...it provides a great deal of support. It is nice to know that there are others who have had similar experiences.
