I'm sorry, I love the idea of adopting. I've had many friends and a few girlfriends who's lives were saved or changed by being adopted. That being said, I want at least one child of my own loins. All of you who say otherwise I honestly dont know if I believe it's the truth. We all want to see a child of our own means, it's genetically assured that we get those emotions.
Is it wrong for her to break up with you because of a high probability of autism? Sure, but is it any more wrong than not liking a guy because he's short? Or not liking a girl because she has an unusually large nose? How about someone who's genetically pre-disposed to being obese?
Now ask yourself if you've ever avoided a relationship with someone because of those reasons, or the infinite other excuses people use. Yes she's wrong, but I'd bet money you wouldn't be able to throw the first stone.
