7rinI've only seen what's in the Google Books preview, but I know from that I'd like to read the rest, as the authors appear to know wtf they're looking at.
7rinFrom "Infertility Stories"
May. 26th, 2012 05:42 pm7rinIf we can stomach another adoption story that begins by detailing someone's infertility, this one was found under "Infertility Stories" www dot eaci.com/infertility/my-biggest-fear.htm
"My Biggest Fear Was...
My biggest fear was that I would never have a baby. It was all I ever wanted. Having suffered with endometriosis for many years, I knew it would be difficult. I never imagined that it would be a four year journey which included 4 laparoscopies, 3 HSG's too many blood tests, countless shots, at least 9 inseminations, 2 failed attempts at in-vitro, and a heartbreaking miscarriage. Then there was emotional pain. Every month I had to endure yet another loss, and somehow find strength so set myself up all over again. I never understood why it was happening to me. The monsters of this world were having babies and leaving them in dumpsters, and I couldn't get pregnant no matter what I did - how can that be? I know the answer now, and I can look back and say it was all worth it because my story has a happy ending - a beautiful little boy name Austin.

"Adopt a child and see what happens."

@ The Sun-Herald (Sydney, NSW:1953-1954)
FACT'S New York News Bureau
More than half of supposedly sterile couples can be successfully treated without surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, reports.
A common cause of sterility is blocking of the wife's Fallopian tubes, preventing a union of the male and female reproductive cells.
Treatments using carbon dioxide gas frequently open these sensitive passages and makes conception possible, the hospital says.
Dr. I. C. Rubin, who perfected the technique, described it to the International College of Surgeons and reported a large percentage of success.
The American Society for the Prevention of Sterility advises examination for both wife and husband.
It is popularly believed that in most cases the wife is unable to bear children.
But a study of nearly 900 sterility cases disclosed that the impaired fertility of the husband was to blame.
Male sterility may require surgical treatment but fertility may be restored by reduction of nervous tensions, proper diet and adequate rest.
The same treatment aids barren women affected by emotional stress, overwork and vitamin deficiencies.
An effective psychological treatment, used in the past by family doctors, is being widely adopted.
Often a barren couple consulting their physician in a small town would be advised to adopt a baby-to fill the void.
The adopted infant, coddled and pressed to the foster parent's breast, often produced physiological changes in the body of the woman, resulting in natural conception.
Today, when diagnosis fails to disclose the cause of deficiency in a childless couple, therapists advise: "Adopt a child and see what happens."
