I have seen so many times couples that can't have children and are willing to do everything in order to be able to conceive, since in vitro to adoption, in my opinion if you want to have a child you should do everything you can to do it, but some people are against all this techniques, because they say we are playing god, they argue that if a couple can't have children those are God wishes and it should be respected. what do you think? How far would you go in order to have children?

I want to have my own kids and that is the first priority me and my husband have. Its almost a year and we dont have a child yet and we have gone to the doctor for some advice on how we will be able to have a baby and so far nothing is still happening but I have faith that one day or another we will be blessed with a baby. But after a few years that we will still not have a baby then I would be very much willing to submit to technology for me to be able to have a child. I think that these technologies are inspired by God. I dont think it a playing-God syndrome because science will only be responsible for uniting the egg to the sperm but God will be the one to give the spirit to it. Science is a means of help. Maybe having those technologies are the only means and God provided it to be used properly. However, there are still many ways to consider. As my doctor said, we can always pray.

Totally agree with you, if I would be in that situation I would do anything that the science will have available, there are worst sins in this world than that, and we don't judge them that much, I think it is very brave from anyone that dares to go through all those things.

I have a friend, he and his wife decided not to adopt any kid even they can't have one for 12 years marriage. Not because of they think they would still have a chance to have a baby- in fact they gave up already, but because of thinking what they face in life now is a fate from God. They think God doesn't trust them a biological child, so what for they should adopt one. However, they like to support some kids from their relatives, like paying for education. I'm disagree with them. I won't blame God for this situation.

totally agree, god is not responsible for those things, if you don't help yourself, god is not going to help you.

I think that is best to try to get pregnant on days 8,10,12,14 and 16 of a 28 day cycle. Next I would try to get pregnant on days 9,11,13,15 and 17. I would carry on trying for ten years before giving up. I would apply to adopt a sibling group. I think it is morally right for a lady to have an in vitro baby if she is unable to get pregnant naturally. Personally I would prefer to adopt. I am the type that likes home births.

I was in this situation about 11 years ago. We had been trying to have a baby and never could. My husband and I decided that we would rather put the money and effort into adopting a baby. You do not have any guarantees with medical procedures. We signed with a Christian adoption agency in May 1999 and our son was born in August 1999. I was able to meet the mother and was in the delivery room with her. He came home from the hospital with us. Then as it always happens, I got pregnant. So now we have two great sons.

Oh Congratulations, it looks like you had a lot of stress about getting pregnant in the first place, so when you adopt, all those tensions went away and you got pregnant. That is a happy ending for a story like that. You helped a child and at the same time you had your own child.

I'm up for adopting, fostering, or babying a friend's kid or another family member.. but I have severe reservations against surrogates and in-vitro. I think that playing God is very very wrong and that we are only tempting for a worse fate...

it's enough for me to just adopt a child after paying hundreds of money and strategies to get a child.
