The New Question Haunting Adoption

Ever since I entered what can generously be called my "mid-30s," doctors have asked about my pregnancy plans at every appointment. Because I'm career-minded and generally indecisive, I've always had a way of punting on this question, both in the doctor's office and elsewhere. Well, we can always adopt, I'll think, or say out loud to my similarly childless and wishy-washy friends. Adoption, after all, doesn't depend on your oocyte quality. And, as we've heard a million times, there are so many babies out there who need a good home.
