Why do people have to have their kids be biologically theirs? /u/bbzztt No such thing as stupid questions

This isn’t meant to offend anyone, I genuinely don’t understand.

Whenever people find out they’re infertile or something they act like it means they can’t have a family, period. They’ll try every method under the sun to conceive one, even paying random women to bare the kid all the while completely ignorng adoption.

Honestly it bugs me a little bit considering how many millions of kids are in the foster system and so many couples outright refuse to adopt them even though they are in the perfect position to do so.

I genuinely don’t understand why infertility seems like the end of the world to some people. Why do they HAVE to be yours? Especially considering you’re potentially saving another kids life who already exists.

We apply this mindset to dogs, adopt the ones who have been suffering alone in shelters instead of paying a breeder to make a new one, why not humans?

Sorry if this offensive. (This is coming from a person who doesn’t want kids so I’m very disconnected from a “desperately want a family of my own” mindset ig)
