Hi,
I agree with Momtomum.
Adoption has been for us the most incredible experience. We had twin boys via ICSI after adopting our eldest son (when he was 12 months old from the UK) and I can say that as a mum, I love them all the same and so does my husband.
Although I am feeling that three children is now enough for us, I can't help feeling like adopting another one.
My husband could not have children. We decided to adopt because sperm donation was anomymous until 2006 and we did not want to have a child via sperm donation who could never trace his bioligical roots.
Some people wonder why we would want our children to find their biological roots but apparently, not being able to go back to their biological father/mother can bring some deep psychological problems to children and this is actually why they decided to change the law on sperm donation in 2006.
A lawyer who was himself the result of sperm donation apparently campained to have the law changed in the UK since he was always upset to be denied this opportunity to trace his biological father.
I really wish you to have your birth child/children is that is very important to you but if it does not happen, then, as Momtomum says there are other ways to become parents.
A friend of mine adopted a 19-month little girl after nine rounds of IVF and is the happiest mummy in the world. Like my son, this little girl is also thriving, a high achiever in school and adorable.
Some people believe that adoption is a difficult process (and in a way it is since you really get screeened thoroughly) but it is incredibly rewarding.
I must say adopting my son will be remain the most amazing thing I will have ever done in my life and I am so proud and happy about it.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss it. There are definitely many successful adoption stories out there.
Best of luck.
