I do agree with this. For me, adoption is the way I will build my family. I have no interest whatsoever in biological children. My husband feels the same way. However, my family is always talking about how beautiful our bio kids will be. They can't see that I do not want to add to the number of people in the world and specifically in North America...
As for others stating that the above was rude, or trying to push them into only adopting.... I can't see how that is the case, this person stated that "I see it as being selfish"... smilestunner is allowed her own viewpoint, she is not pressuring you in any way...
