For myself, I don't think I'd do it. My theory about life is that I'm okay with reproducing myself and my partner (i.e. two kids), but if I want more, I'd rather adopt. I'd even be up for adopting an older child at that point. And in terms of the situation in which I couldn't get pregnant, well, I think I would still adopt at that point. Maybe try a little IVF but if it didn't work, I'd be okay.
For everyone else? I'm in favor of whatever will make you happiest, and help you to be the best parent you can be to your kids. I've not dealt with this type of disappointment (not being able to get pregnant through regular means), and I won't judge others' choices. I do wish there were more homes for those kids, but shit. Like MM said, if I'm not adopting the whole world, why should someone else have to?
