My infertility Myth #3 for NIAW

This is my FB status today (I've been doing one everyday)...
"Infertility Myth #3: If IVF doesn't work, you can always just adopt and THEN you'll get pregnant.
Reality: Adoption does not cure infertility. We've all heard "My mother's, cousin's, daughter's friend was told she couldn't have kids so she just adopted a baby and then BAM she got pregnant!" But those stories - although they have a happy ending - are the exception, not the rule. For many couples, IVF is very costly and not covered by health insurance so it can often wipe out any savings they may have. Adoption can be just as expensive if not more, so suggesting a couple "just adopt" in order to get pregnant is not always a feasible or realistic option and it in no way guarantees a baby."
