So recently I ended up in this hellish argument with some folks up here about fertility treatments.
They thought that no matter the cost or the pain it was the right thing to do to keep trying time and time again to have a child of their own. It’s probably pretty obvious but I don’t agree. I think it’s a pointless exercise in futility when there are so many children out there needing to be adopted into a loving family.
As one doctor said to a patient after 3 miscarriages, “Is the point to be pregnant, or to be a parent and raise a child?”.
Unfortunately folks these days can’t seem to accept that being a parent is the important part.

I pretty much agree with you. There is something wonderful about giving birth to your own child, but under these types of circumstances, they spend as much money or more on fertility treatments, than it would cost to adopt a child. Like you said there are SO many children that have no parents. So sad.
