Adoption seemed a very natural step for us. We were so certain we were meant to adopt, that we almost decided not to even try biologically first. Ended up we did, and it just proved what we already felt in our hearts.
When we announced our plans to everyone, 2 of my coworkers confided in me that they had gone to great lenghts to conceive with no luck. Neither had chosen to adopt afterward.
Because adoption felt so right to us, it seems strange to go thru so much, and then to decide to remain childless rather than adopt. But I have to accept that not everyone views it the same as me.
For me never being a parent would have been the worst. For them the pain of never being able to concieve was the worst. Moving on and concentrating on each other was less "painful" than continuing to deal with the infertility issues adoption brings up.
