It doesn't seem fair when some women get pregnant at the drop of a hat (or a sperm!) and others are stuck dealing with infertility on Mother's Day and every day of the week.

I am not actively trying to conceive, but I know I will have problems. It just makes me so sad to watch everyone around me have "oops" babies and be blessed, while I'm waiting a little bit longer for the right time. Can't help but feel jealous!

I've never talked to someone who was a surrogate....if you're interested in answering a few questions about being a surrogate mother, I know other couples coping with infertility would be interested too!

But, do they ever get depressed that they can't have kids? And, I agree with you, Jamie! Adoption doesn't take away the biological pull to have your own child. I know many couples who adopt say that they love their kids as if they'd given birth to them...but the whole conceiving a baby, being pregnant, and delivering must give you a different bond to your kid! Not better necessarily, just different. Anyway, thanks for your comments -- and if you get depressed on Mother's Day because of infertility, I'll be here! :-) Thanks Lauren, I love the idea of hanging out with gay friends.

What I've done in the past to deal with this situation is have a good cry, and then do something really fun with my gay friends. This is an excellent article!

People have such a negative opinion of infertility. Many act like it's chosen and that "Just Adopting" will cure it. I wish I had the luxury of being that ignorant. Thank you for posting this!!!!
