"Wanting".. although I am by no means supporting the use of unprescribed fertility drugs..... I don't know if you have researched this or not ( I have) but adoption is a long process, very risky, and EXPENSIVE! So, although I support the IDEA of adoption, for many people, it is just not a realistic option. Did you know that the average "cheap" adoption still costs you around $16,000? and that MOST of this money is needed all at once? Did you know that if you adopt in the US, the birth parents can change their mind, you will lose the baby, and you will be OUT all that money, so you may not be able to try again? How about the fact that in MOST foreign countries ( foreign to the US) adoption is not "open" so you travel to the country with little more then permission to adopt within an age range, but no guarantee that there will actually be a child they will allow you to take home.... Also think about the fact that MOST countries require adoptive parents to spend some time in country visiting, etc, before they will allow the adoption to go through.... and that with many of them this time line is several weeks long.. so even if you DO manage to come up with the money, DO have a child available, and ARE approved, you have to stop working for a month or more so that you can process your adoption... Not many can afford that! So.. although I am by no means in support of this use of this drug, the advice to "just adopt" isn't very realistic advice.. it is just not that easy. I think the real advice here is... you DO NOT NEED several babies all at once, and you SHOULD NOT risk them just for the chance. Natural multiple pregnancies or multiples as a result of true infertility treatment.. Bless You. You have a hard road ahead, and i know you would never ask for the risk and heartache you may be in for..
