many CFer's struggle enough with being able to pay for meds, food and shelter.

i would hope that someone would give to a fund to support these needs - needs that are essential for life - well before supporting infertility treatments that are a nice to have as opposed to a need to have.

children are a choice.

food isn't a choice. shelter isn't a choice. meds are not a choice.

I sort of agree with Amy, though if people specifically wanted to give to the cause of infertility in CFers. I don't see anything wrong with that...

I am not the best person to ask on this but I would say to consider all your options including the increased medical expense being pregnant with CF can cause...

Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered having a surrogate mother carry a child for you? That probably would cost less then fertility treatments and be a lot less taxing on your body...

But to the orginal question, if you specifically wanted to raise funds for having a child, I don't see anything wrong with that..

Adoption isn't as easy as it sounds, and for those of you with adopted kids, I know you are going to chime in here and say it can be done and it isn't that complicated. However, when one of the parents has a genetic disorder that is considered life threatening, you immediately get rejected...trust me, I've been there. So no, adoption isn't an option for everyone

the bottom line is that khristina did not inquire about adoption.

she is asking about infertility. i'm sure she's well aware that she is capable of adopting.

i feel i can make this point without being hurtful bc i am an adopted person, so i see both sides of the issue. i wasn't adopted into the 'ideal' situation-(meaning a childless couple desperately wanting a child)-i was adopted by relatives that 'took' me in-loved me, yes, but not a happy loving environment at all.

bc of that, i so strongly feel that people should never be made to feel guilty if they want biological kids more than adopted. adopted children will need all the love you can muster and more...and its not fair to them or anyone to have any less that that.
to create a family in any way or shape is beautiful.
i have one biological child (i have cf and have a non-carrier husband). we are open to having more children, either through biological means or adopted means.

i gave my opinion on the subject of fundraising and infertility in this same thread posted in the preg section. i personally don't agree with it. i would also not agree with a couple having an 'adoption fundraiser' either. i feel that resources like that are best left spent on life threatening situations.

i love the fact that 2 parents with biological and adopted kids have posted here!-i have been wanting to hear from parents like this and haven't found many. if you ever want to share your story-I'd LOVE to hear it.

khristina, best wishes on your journey-keep asking and you'll find some answers somewhere.
