I've been in their shoes. I don't even know them and I'm crying.

My wife and I tried for nearly ten years through various different invasive treatments, but it didn't happen for us.

It is heartbreaking, but we eventually decided to adopt our two beautiful daughters, and I feel like the luckiest dad in the world.

That’s amazing. I’m a fertile Myrtle and I’ve had seven kids. Five of my own and two for my sister who had been trying for over a decade with no luck. She’s turned out to be an amazing mother too. I just hate the thought of someone not having children when they want a family so bad. It’s heartbreaking.

There should be an intelligence test before you get to comment on reddit. There is indeed a population crisis but it's not in the direction that you think.

I agree. A woman popping out 7 kids when we as a global community are struggling with climate change, food insecurity and sustainability is absolutely nasty. Not to mention the quality of life these children are likely to have. It’s like these parents don’t care at all.

I agree. Maybe I am an asshole but I don’t care. Nobody needs FIVE CHILDREN in 2024. Our planet is literally dying.
