Another couple here that are adopting as a first choice. Our paperwork was DTC on Jan 10th. We never really considered having our own. My wife has no desire to get pregnant and go through the birthing process. Me, I'd rather help someone in need of a family rather than adding another to the world. I haven't had anyone question our decision, but my wife had some ignorant jerk hassle her at the gym about why she wasn't doing her duty and having her own. On top of that, he then proceeded to ask her why we weren't adopting in the US instead of adopting one of "them".
She basically told him it was none of his business and that he should leave. I wasn't there, but I think I would have had a much more difficult time being diplomatic. Other than that tool, everyone has been quite supportive.
