Donate
I worried that our reasons for adopting would not be good enough either. There's a slim chance that we can get pg on our own, and maybe treatment would have increased our odds. But we've always thought we were going to adopt at some point, regardless of whether we had bio children, so there's no time like the present to just move on.

I got the sense from our social worker that she was more interested in how much we'd love our child, than she has been about how we feel about our infertility. When she asked, I told her that of course trying and trying and having no baby to show for it has been depressing. But there wasn't much else to say about that--sometimes life sucks. I guess everything else we had to say about adoption spoke volumes, because she was done w/that line of questioning pretty quickly.

I will bet if you just share w/her what you shared w/us, you'll be just fine!
