What to do?

I’m new here. My wife and I are currently thinking about starting a family. We are struggling with the decision of how to start a family. I’m after some of yours thoughts on this. Should we have IVF with donation sperm, we would fund this privately 😱 or should we adopt? We are so torn. Thanks 🙏

Welcome!!! What are your hearts telling either of you? Do either of you have a desire to be pregnant and give birth? Do you want a baby or do you feel happy with adopting an older child? It must be a very difficult decision. I would go to ivf clinic open days and adoption days to get a feel for both and talk to people. Ask any questions you may have here!!!

I agree with Scarlett13. Both have very different challenges so speak to professionals about both and the you’ll be able to make the decision that’s best for you. Good luck.
