Many adoptive parents approach adoption with a history of infertility or pregnancy loss.
The decision making process often begins in the midst of treatment. Similarly, those who suffer repeated pregnancy losses may attempt to put a limit on the number of losses they are mentally and physically able to endure. The high costs of infertility treatment and of adoption force some to look carefully at how many additional treatment cycles they can afford and still have the resources for adoption. Some reach a point when their physician tells them that continuing treatment is pointless. Although this is difficult - if not devastating to hear, it does help people gain some closure and feel more prepared to embrace the idea of adoption.
