MOST people die? Do you think you aren't going to die?
All people die.

With that being said, there are adoption agencies specifically for special needs babies. There are many people out there wanting to adopt them. Contrary to popular belief, disabled people are not worthless or unwanted.
Adopt that hypothetical baby yet?
I know it's a tender issue, but you may have genetic issues with babies of your own. You want babies. You don't believe in abortion. You have a stable family and money. You go on and on about how adoption is a viable option.
You are the IDEAL family for adoption. Why haven't you done it yet?
We've talked about it and we may adopt. Right now I'm still doing fertility treatments every month to try to get pregnant again, at least once. One because adopting a baby costs about $60,000 (we are middle class and 60 grand is a lot for us) and is a very long process, two because being pregnant for almost 6 months only to have lost that baby leaves a void and a very strong desire to "get him back", if you will. It's hard to explain the pain of having been pregnant for that long, having maternity clothes in the back of your closet, belly stretch marks, having lactated, having ultra sound photos hung up pn your fridge, without a baby having come out of it. And accomplishing at least one healthy pregnancy would help bring closure to that pain. So right now, we are focusing on that.
So, that's why we "haven't adopted yet."
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
