I get kind of pissed off when infertile couples spend thousands of dollars trying to get pregnant.
There are thousands of orphans in the foster care system who need parents as much as you need a child, and instead of pooling all your money into "solutions" that may not work, why not give them a home?
I feel like we should focus on finding homes for children who already exist, rather than making more children.
It's not like we're going extinct- the world is growing more overpopulated by the minute.
It seems like a waste of resources to me. IIN?

I'm happy that you're both happy <3
They were wonderful, beautiful and fun kids. I can't understand how their parents could've abandoned them and let them live in a foster home, it was the saddest thing.
If I was in the right position at the time to adopt them I would've in a heartbeat. They also hinted at the idea.
While I still would want to have my own biological children in the future maybe-I am open to idea of adoption.
I don't see why anyone would be upset with someone spending their money on something they want. They're not hurting anyone, they want to have a natural kid, then let them try. There are thousands of people, right at the moment, having children that they don't want, and a couple has a child (or tries to have a child) that they DO want and suddenly they're horrible, selfish people?
A wanted and loved child is a wanted and loved child whether or not they had to be "added" to the over-population. If someone wants to trash talk "breeders", they should trash talk the ones that selfishly have unwanted or un-cared for children because of their own carelessness or reasons beyond simply wanting to love and parent a child (i.e., the parents of MOST of the children in said foster care and adoption agencies).
Don't confuse "Parents" with "breeders". Parents love and raise their children and work to provide better lives for their children. Breeders just produce. It's the difference between spreading seeds and growing plants.
I concur but I don't get these people that say, "Oh no! You can't have a child, it's creating overpopulation!"
That's like saying-
"Oh no! You're Littering and destroying the eco system! And by destroying the eco system, you're destroying the planet! And by destroying the planet, you're destroying Humanity!
And if you're destroying humanity then you're committing genocide! Thus by littering you're committing Attempted Murder and must be jailed!!"
You know...that's actually a pretty solid point.
Hmm. I'll have to Brain Storm on that later.
Anyway, that was a beautiful statement and I totally agree. Being a parent is not a biological after-effect; it's a title earned. People too often mistake the symptoms of it for the cause.
I guess I would grow to love an adopted child but you don't get that instant unconditional love. They still aren't your own child at the end of the day.
From your question, I am guessing your fertility is perfectly fine and you don't have a clue how hurtful it is to know you can't carry your own child.
There are lots of different kinds of families out there, and you don't have to be biologically related to be family.
Sorry if I offended you over a mistype...

THAT'S what the OP said in the first place.
Deeerrrrrrrppp
"There are thousands of orphans in the foster care system who need parents as much as you need a child"
thinkingaboutit-
"So, why don't you take in a
foster child?"
Really?...you don't see it?.....ok then....i'm not sure if you...oh never mind...
Before you breeders say anything, I would consider adopting if I wasn't so sure I'd be the world's worst parent. I would consider it in a heartbeat.
Can I ask where you live? I actually don't recall ever seeing an orphanage where I live.
People who love eachother want to know that they created something wonderful that is half of them and half of the person they love. To be able to say, "you look just like your daddy when you do that" is a really cool feeling.
Also I understand what it may mean to all of you but the thoughts virtually nothing in my eyes. I guess Im a very odd female but I never cared I do not value marriage as important either I may want to be married but I do not want a boyfriend or a lover I find the thought a burden and annoying and my father is already grandpa and not just because he is old but because my older sibling already had kids so I have no concern of passing on the genes of me family tree.
Though at this point I value it very little I do not think I valued many things worth wild to begin with. I have little excitement in my life and most things such as a big fancy wedding or husband just seems a burden. Sure they are convenient but I would do it out necessity not any true desire to do so.
I view children as hard to take care of and would not have one unless financially sound. If I have a husband it will only to have money and a place to eat and sleep. I guess while a lot of time my mind seems frantic and jumpy I am very logical about a lot of things a point some people seem to miss about me.
Things like that just seem petty and pointless and most of the things like that I do are more out of obligation and appreance and necessity not love. Sometimes even out of Tradition though I do take much pride and joy in traditions that’s one thing I must always follow.
Adopting a kid costs money, yeah, but not NEARLY the amount it takes to pay for artificial insemination.
