Random Thoughts:
I think the choice is a personal one; up to the couple to decide for themselves.
I've never figured out if A) there are more children out there waiting to be adopted than there are prospective parents to adopt them or if B) there are not enough children in need of adoption to meet the demand. I've heard both ways.
Anyone remember Bobbi and Kenny McCaugney (sp?), the parents of septuptlets? They had one daughter and decided they wanted more and when Bobbi didn't get pregnant they had fertility treatments. When reporters asked them why they didn't selectively abort some of the fetuses to lessen the risk that the ones who remained would be born without disabilities, they replied that God wanted them to have all seven of them and that is why He allowed her to conceive them. I, on the other hand, think that if God had wanted to have more than one child He would have allowed them to conceive without fertility treatments. But that's just me.
