Adoption?

Question

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 7 years and honestly to a point where I’ve given up. I went to a fertility dr thinking I had an issue and the doctor told me I’m in great health. They then ran some test on my husband and found out he has a low Sperm count and motility. The two doctors I spoke to think our daughter who is 7 was a miracle baby. And they don’t expect us to make any more naturally. We wanted to do

but can’t afford it, so after so many years of crying myself to sleep about it today we decided we want to adopt but we have no idea how to adopt a baby without paying 20,000. Can anyone help me?

Answer

My husband had very low sperm, 2M and it seemed to be going down at every check. 
We found out it was curamin/tumeric causing the low count. 
Within months of stopping that supplement and adding vitamin c, zinc, coq10, l-carnatine, folic acid, omega 3 fish oil he is now over 100M. 
I don’t want to give you false hope that this will work but maybe something to try in the meantime. 
Adoption is a beautiful thing, I don’t have any experience but I hope you get your baby soon, regardless of how you get there 💙

Answer

Ivf is cheaper then adoption, and you don’t have to wait years for a child most likely given the success rates.  You would probably get a good amount of embryos for several tries too. If you are worried about money then adoption is not cheap or easy at all.  It can be cheap if you adopt through the foster care system,  hard to get a newborn with long waits but older kids are available quickly.  Of course it takes a while to get registered,  do the classes,  then get matched.  It took our friends 1.5 years to finally get matched to adopt three siblings ranging in age of 2-9.

Answer

IVF could cost you as much, but adopting could take years... You can pick a baby/child and you have him/her five to six years later...
Also IVF is covered by insurance or cheaper in some states..., maybe it’ll be worth to research all your options before making a decision 👌🏼

Answer

you can try IUI with a sperm donor that's wayyy less expensive u can choose one that looks like your husband! it's only about 2000-3000 good luck!

Answer

Have you considered embryo adoption? It’s significantly less $ than traditional adoption, and you carry the baby. Another route is to do the adoption process yourself, not through an agency. It’s the agency that is so expensive. You still need a good lawyer, but you set up your own website and announce through social media that you are seeking a baby to adopt. One couple I follow on social media says it cost them about $10k doing it that way, and they have the cutest baby girl.

So sorry 😢 idk if it’s out of the picture for you but my husband and I picked up supplemental insurance (blue cross blue shield) to cover our infertility and can drop it as soon as we are pregnant. It’s $500 a month but way worth it in the long run and will save us $$. He is unable to have kids so we are using IUI with donor sperm which is way less expensive than adoption!

Answer

Have you looked into fostering to adopt?

Answer

Donor egg or sperm?

Answer

That sweet my mother was adopted my grandmother that rasied my was not blood of my but she loved me with all her 💓 I have tought of fostering if I can't have a child my self

Answer

maybe start working at Starbucks or somewhere that has insurance? I think also try to talk to your hubby about donor sperm. I know two couples who have done it and they seem happy. I'm sure it would he a bit difficult for him at first to get his head around it. But if that is the only option under 20,000 and it gets you a baby it might just be worth thinking about or talking to a counsellor about. I also agree with the suppliment idea too. I have read people getting great results. good luck!
