An infertility diagnosis can be crushing for a couple who have always dreamed of having children. According to data from 2018, about one in seven adults in the U.S. experience infertility at some point in their lives. The couple then has a choice to make: do IVF, surrogacy, or adopt.
This couple couldn’t agree on what to do. Husband, being an adopted child himself, tried to convince his wife they should adopt. She wanted to do IVF, ignoring his concerns that the child wouldn’t biologically be his. But what shocked him most was her views on adoption in general, and after she revealed her opinion, he started questioning their entire relationship.
