Answer 4

Adoption is part of the equation for a lot of women but it is very important to many women to have a child that is flesh and blood their own. I know that for me, I never really thought I would want children as badly as I do now. I always thought adoption would be the only way I would want to go. However, after meeting my now husband and falling in love, I feel a deeper need to create a life with him. I am so excited about the idea of adding to our family and having someone that is a part of both of us. Adoption is definitely not out of the picture at some point but I would also like to have a child or two of my own. It is a desire that is very hard to explain unless you yourself have experienced it.  

Answer 5

Most women feel having their own child bonds them while it is growing inside them. Do you have any idea how straining it is on your bank account to adopt? I have insurance that covers fertility treatment to a certain point and will cover baby until 18 or 25 if in college. insurance does NOT cover adoption. You can easily be turned down for adoption, i e you don't make enough money in their standards or could be too young. Not to mention it takes forever to adopt, it could take YEARS. Sure it may take years to conceive, but at least you are trying and not just sitting there with your fingers crossed that you will get a call saying there is a baby available.  For women that are capable of having children should atleast try and leave adoption to those unable to bear their own children.  

Answer 6

It's not as easy/simple to adopt as you seem to assume. Just go into the 'adoption' section on Answers. You'll soon see that it's not like shopping for a new dress.  It's often NOT the best thing for every family/child.

I'd be interested to know if you are a male or female (if you are a male, you probably will never understand what having a baby means to women and shouldn't try).

Rigmorale is one word.

Answer 7

I am trying to conceive because I want to experience MY baby growing inside of me... giving birth to MY baby... eventually raising MY child. I'm not against adoption but why should I stop trying to create life because someone else couldn't take care of their offspring? I've heard this argument several times and I don't think it's fair to women who are trying to conceive. Instead of raising this question to women who are trying to conceive how about you question those who are giving up their children for adoption? Every woman has the right to bear their own children without being questioned.  

Answer 8

Because women need a physical connection with their children and the fathers need to carry on the family name and bloodline. its UNNATURAL to not want your own child.

Answer 9

For me, I've always felt like I would like to adopt as well as have my own natural children but, my husband hasn't been open to the idea. Also, I think it's just an amazing experience to be pregnant & to know what it is to give birth & life. I think it's just another way we are all different & we all have the power to choose.  

Answer 10

i am trying to have another baby i have a 2year old all ready.i like being pregnant i like feeling the baby move that is one the the best part of being pregnant. i do not like the pain of child birth its worth it when you see your baby for the first time. i would never adopt. i want the baby to be part of me and my husband.

Answer 11

We tried international adoption but got out due to corruptions in the country's government. I am 25 and we were told our adoption timeframe could be indefinite...and I didn't want my biological clock to tick out before then. Selfish? Maybe, but we may consider adoption again after we have our own.
