Yeah, that'll show him!

Well, she said "he let me believe we were trying". Usually when a couple claims they are "trying" it means they've come together and made a conscious decision to conceive, as opposed to couples who kinda wing it and just have a baby whenever it happens. And his saying "It'll happen soon, baby" leads me to believe that for a while at least, he played along with the "yes, we're *trying* to conceive" bit.

Lol at least you know you're probably gonna get buried. I'm all for adoption too, but when are people gonna realize that some women want their OWN children? Like, nature or God or whatever deity you believe in made humans with the ability to reproduce for a reason. I'd be REALLY friggin offended if someone had told my mother when she was pregnant with me "Hey ya asshole, why didn't you just adopt? WAY TO GO". Like seriously, my parents, like many others, wanted their own child, they were happily married, they could afford it, so why not? All potential parents deserve the right to get the children the want, the way they want to go about it, without being made to feel like jerks. (I've seen adoptive parents be made to feel like jerks for not having their own too, so it goes both ways).

Agreed! If I ever settle down with the right guy I'd want to have a child of my own. However, I have always wanted to and am determined to adopt at least one child. Its something I've had on my mind since I was a child. Most women don't they want to experience it all for themselves at least once. Its a natural instinctive part of the human existence.

Agreed. The Earth is so overpopulated as it is, and there are so many unwanted children out there who will never have a chance to be loved, it irritates me that people are so hung up on having "their OWN child". You can't take an adopted child and make it your own? You think your genes are so much better than everyone else's that you're doing the world a favor by adding one more to the bunch? I just don't get it.
