Hey there Ritchie68,

No, don't worry about being nosy - this is a board to express yourself, after all!

Well, we do have IVF here (best friend's sister had a baby girl last year on her first try at IVF), I don't know if it's available to singles or not, but the government has just changed all the laws to reduce the availability of the program, limit the number of cycles that can be done in a year, and to increase the costs...

I don't know, I have this gut feeling that a pregnancy should be shared within a couple if possible... If I had a partner and we couldn't get pregnant, I'd have no hesitation at looking into IVF. I guess I feel like I would need some sort of physical support during a pregnancy as well...

Anyway, my gut instinct is that adoption is the way to start my family, and I'll add to the family later - when I meet the right guy, he could already have children of his own, or we might have children the "traditional" way, or we might adopt together, or we might be really old by the time we meet and just be happy in our rocking chairs on the porch - who knows!

Rebecca
