If you found out you couldn't have children?

Question

would you adopt? Foster? Do you think it would hurt your marriage?

Answer 1

I don't think it would hurt my marriage.  I would adopt for sure.

Answer 2

i would be heartbroken, but i would adopt, there are so many children out there that need love. fostering is sometimes hard either because of the situation that the children came from or that you see them come and go when you were planning on having your own child

Answer 3

I dont think it would hurt our marriage at all, and we would adopt.  We already are planning on adopting when my daughter gets older, and Im done with my Masters degree.

Answer 4

I was told I couldn't have children (incorrectly obviously as I'm now 33weeks preg). I hadn't thought too much into what I was going to do, I did however break up with my partner and pushed him as far away as I could, as I didn't think it fair to take that away from him. And having watched my cousin go through years and years of IVF to no avail and seen it slowly destroying her marriage it wasn't something I would've contemplated. Given time that might have changed I don't know. I'm not sure about adopting I think it's great but the messing around that's involved can see it take years and cost LOTS. Fostering on the other hand was definately something I would've considered and may still, as I was a foster child myself and I know how hard it can be and there aren't enough GOOD foster homes out there.  

Answer 5

i would be really heart broken if i couldnt have children, i would adopt and give a child the family love that they diserve, i have a 11.5month old son that i couldnt imagine my life with out.

i was told at a young age that i would be very lucky to have children as i have had major period probs.
