Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 So sorry to hear this news. It is so discouraging to spend so much money and all the emotional ups and downs and still not reach the objective. Keep your thoughts positive and the right answer will come. My heart goes out to you and your husband. Tina W. mother of , almost 17yoa wcf IVF didn't work I was going In Vitro with PGD to avoid CF. I just found out this mroning that I am not pregnant. We don't know what to do next. We already spent $15,000 on this so we have nowhere to go. Adoption is often just as expensive. thanks for your support.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hi Jen, I am very saddened to hear that. But please anyone tell me why adoption is often just as expensive?? Here in Germany adoption requires more paperwork than a tax declaration and you have to answer 1,000 questions from CPS, but I am not aware that you have to pay for it. There are so many orphans in poor countries that everyone should be thankful for parents who offer a home and love to one of those children.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 The legal fees make it so pricey. It also involves a lot of paperwork here in the states. > Hi Jen, > > I am very saddened to hear that. But please anyone tell me why adoption is > often just as expensive??

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 VERY well said Torsten. I really cant understand the reason for the high cost. After all , the adopting parents are saving the state or country the cost of raising the child & will continue to do so all the child's life. Really, a background check, etc YES, but heaven s, why soooo much $$$ . I hope this post finds you & your precious growing family are well . happy fall to you all LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV Re: IVF didn't work Hi Jen, I am very saddened to hear that.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 But please anyone tell me why adoption is > often just as expensive?? To be sure you get a child many people do foreign adoptions which at minimum cost $10,000. Trying to adopt through social services can be done but you may have to wait as long a 10-15 years. The demand for young children to adopt out strips the available supply in the US jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I'm really sorry things didn't work out for you. There are cheaper adoption routes though. Consider adopting a child from your local foster parents organization. I know in Texas, the state usually covers the cost of the adoption.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hi Jen, I am so sorry that this didn't work for you. I have a friend who tried IVF a few times and it never worked for her either. I am very sorry, I know that you had high hopes for the procedure. IVF didn't work I was going In Vitro with PGD to avoid CF. I just found out this mroning that I am not pregnant. We don't know what to do next. We already spent $15,000 on this so we have nowhere to go. Adoption is often just as expensive. thanks for your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 I am so sorry to hear that. We also failed at our PGD attempt a few years ago. We would like to adopt also but here there are very few children available and overseas is nearly $30,000. I don't know why as so many people would love to do this. Your in my thoughts.
