My kids are lab babies and I am extremely proud of them.
They were conceived after 10 years of trying, including 8 of those years under the care of reproductive specialists.
For those who say "adopt", we tried. And it's real easy to say anything when you aren't in the thick of the situation.(I find there are generally two types that are against fertility treatments-those who don't have kids and those who can get pregnant from toilet seats). I have two nephews adopted at birth and they are great young men; their parents were fortunate enough to have the $50,000 or so it cost to have their kids.
After 10 years, we went with donor sperm and a procedure called GIFT that is no longer used. My twins are now 16 and most here are sick of my bragging, to be sure.
Agador, welcome both to TFP and parenthood. Regardless of how dreams are achieved, everyone should do all they can to achieve them.
I only hope these naysayers never ever have to go thru the trials those of us who are infertile had to endure.
