Four years, three miscarriages, and 1,616 shots to make a baby (+$40,000 in fertility treatments)

The profoundly insightful reason: "I wanted a biological child".

I just can't get my head around that. Maybe it's because I'm a guy, so I've spent my whole life knowing that giving birth is literally not even an option. But I can't imagine feeling so strongly about something that I would forgo all other options - ones which would have a more positive benefit to others, no less - in order to take the selfish route. But maybe I'm just a miserable old asshole.
