Any reason that adoption wasn’t considered to grow your family? So many children on this planet that need homes. Why bring more into the world with potential health issues? Asking sincerely, with no judgement at all. Also: I am so very sorry for your loss. It’s awesome what you are doing for these families with medically fragile kiddos.

Our son is adopted. And my husband was still in the Marines when we adopted him. Interesting answer. Thank you for responding.

I simply asked because I’m an adoptive parent, and I can’t imagine going through all of that(IVF, etc) when there are children who need homes. Whenever I ask Redditors about adoption, the answers I get are always assumptions that I wouldn’t know how “difficult” it is to adopt, or how “expensive”. Well I know quite a lot about it. And, I’m sure the adoption we experienced was faaar less expensive than IVF. I truly believe some people really just want a child that “looks like them”. (By the way, our adopted child looks JUST like us. Ha!) **All that being said, I still applaud this couple for starting this organization to help out families of medically fragile children. **
