We are facing infertility issues, but we have purposed to adopt if it doesn’t happen in 5 years. We’re believing the Lord for a few miracles, but if adoption is our path, then so be it.
Those kids will have hit the lottery compared to the alternative.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread. If people want to have kids, but struggle to have them, adoption seems like a wonderful alternative.

Maybe he isn’t ready to give up. And that is totally ok and nothing wrong with that.
There is no set timeframe for how long you want to try to have a child. It’s different for everyone.
Your post came off as if you say he should just give up since it hadn’t happened yet.

Sorry to hear of the fertility problems. It’s sad to hear about people who want kids and can’t have them, while we have a country full of idiots reproducing like rabbits smh. I hope you get that chance one day

Well this thread sure didn’t make me feel any less depressed this morning. Merry Christmas all those single and childless. Not our day to shine but eventually ??

Yes but it isn’t an easy one and has it’s own set of challenges. Are you familiar with adoption? How much it costs, etc?
Sometimes when doing infertility stuff...you have to set limits on what you want to do. Either for financial or emotional reasons.
Adoption isn’t this catch all alternative. Like sometimes you can’t “just adopt”. Or maybe for that couple...it isn’t an option they want to explore for whatever reason.
I mean...if you would like to give me 30-50k so I could adopt a baby then by all means let me know and I’ll take the money.

Exactly what I was thinking. So many unwanted kids out there, it's sad that people who would be good loving parents can't have any.

Second this. You can give a child or an infant a wonderful home. I have family that have done the adoption work so that the baby was theirs as soon as it was born. Those children are blessed to immediately be placed in a loving and nurturing environment. I hope you’ll do the same
FWIW, people that do not have fertility issues should consider adoption in addition to birthing children as well

I don't totally agree. Kids do add an air of excitement, but... My wife and I got up and had coffee and cinnamon rolls while we got lunch going for our adult kids and their spouses. We will eat, open gifts, and then have a few drinks out on the patio this afternoon/evening. Family is family and Christmas is still Christmas in my book, even though it changes the way it looks over time. Merry Christmas!
ETA... just read through the whole thread. Misunderstood where you were coming from. Hopefully kids are not too far off for y'all.

You don't look very old in your pics. Why do you think that door is closed for you?

I don't, but my energy levels are becoming more of a limited resource.
Don't want to half-arse it, you know?

First Christmas morning in 30 years I haven’t had a child opening presents at my house on Christmas morning. I’m anxiously waiting for wife (separated) to drop my son off this morning. Been drinking coffee and staring at his pile of gifts for hours now.
Brutal. The first Christmas after my divorce is what caused me to go bald’ish. I had all 5 kids here this morning...I do not need any more gifts. I spent hours wrapping gifts and thousands on the gifts but that hour it takes to open everything is my most enjoyable time of the year.

You're what, in your 30s? That's a pretty normal age to have kids these days. A buddy of mine had quadruplets at like 41.
Posted on 12/25/20 at 9:04 am to fallguy_1978
Christmas is great when they’re little but its so so fleeting. Mine are all teenagers now and it looks so much different than it used to. I’ve learned to just embrace whatever stage of life we are at.

Damn, no joke lol.
I have to spend this year away from my family for the first time, and it sucks.
Definitely should not have clicked on this thread.

Lots of guys have kids in their 40s
It’s not the age of the man that is crucial..,it’s usually the age of the woman.
Although....sperm quality can deteriorate starting in your 40s so it isn’t always the woman that has aging biological parts that affect fertility.
