I also hate hearing "you can always adopt", but again, with my health issues, I couldn't take care of a child as I would see fit, and it's likely that I wouldn't see the kid graduate. I could never knowingly put any child through that.

I don't want them for my own selfish reasons, and I'm so tired of everyone assuring me that I will one day. How in the world do they know that I just can't have them and that their words aren't tearing me up inside? I'm sorry people are so unintentionally cruel, ree-Xi!

I agree. Tell them exactly why, and hopefully they'll learn a lesson and never ask such asinine questions of anyone ever again.
