  I spilled it all, I had a kidney transplant last year and drs. advised to 'look into other means of having children' so the circumstances are different but good luck with your decission.

  How about spinning it like this is what you want?I mean, if you were THAT dead set on bio kids,  you'd be looking at surrogates, IVF, etc first before adoption. 
  

   I told the SW I have PCOS, and that our choice was to try adoption before trying clomid, IUI, etc.  Although we haven't had the first meeting yet, he seemed to be OK with that explanation.

  They did ask us if the doctor's knew why I couldn't conceive. Mine is unexplained inftertility so that's all I told them and they didn't ask anything else. My answer is it's really none of their business and you can tell them whatever you want. I wouldn't go into full detail or anything. They did not ask us for a note from the doctor. We just finished our homestudy and our now waiting for the final paperwork so we can get started in looking for a birthmother. I wish you nothing but luck and hope it all goes well for you and your husband!!

  Not sure about Korea, but we are doing Colombia and they are far more interested in how we dealt with and grieved over any infertility and our agency said going into the tests or medical information isn't really something that our social worker needs to do or really should do as Colombia isn't interested. they did want specific info about who we talked to and how we went through the grieving process. We needed a letter from our doctor stating we are in good health, but that was it from a medical standpoint. it was up to the doctor to do whatever they felt they needed to to write the letter.

  For our domestic newborn H.S. we were asked about infertility.  We did explain the gorey details (Male factor, and I have an anomoly with one tube and an unicornuate uterus resulting in required IVF and a high miscarriage/preterm delivery risk.)  We were honest and said that we may do IVF in the future, but for now are just concerned about being parents. 

  On each of our physicals, our doctors noted that we have inferility.  It was not very detailed, however.  Hope that helps!

  I don't think we said much other than the fact that I can't carry a child. We might have mentioned that surrogacy wasn't something we were planning on pursuing right now. She didn't ask me many questions about. They were more concerned with the emotional side of it. On our physicals the doctor noted I had infertility issues but that didn't even make it to my homestudy in the medical section.?

  We just said after many months of trying we were unable to have kids and they never asked why????
