Tell that to all of the people who are on 3yr long waiting lists for domestic adoption or the 2yr process that it currently is for international adoption (laws have tightened dramatically for most international adoptions in the past 2yrs).
$30-40K and up for domestic or international adoption
$12-15K for one round of IVF
and get to be pregnant
$700 for one round of donor insemination
and get to be pregnant
For us it was a no brainer and I respect my husban immensely for being able to put his ego aside. He'd die for our son and they don't share a strand of DNA, but he got to see the miracle of my belly swell and watch him being born.
If you had ask me or my husband before we tried to get pregnant how far we'd go, I would have said maybe some Clomid and my husband would have told you that there's no way in hell he'd let me be pregnant with someone elses DNA. It's amazing how your perspective changes when faced with certain obstacles.
