As a couple we decided not to go the IVF route. First neither one of our insurance companies covered IVF treatments and we were not willing to sacrifice our financial security. We decided to adopt and have been blessed with a beautiful son who is taking all our money.  |
Congradulations on the adoption
That is wonderful!!! In regards to IVF, I think that your coworkers story is not being told. IVF is not easy, there are no guarantees, it is very costly (passing the 10K mark easily), and the process takes an emotional toll on couples.
