After reading "Your Gamete, Myself" by Peggy Orenstein, it made me question "What would I do?" The author wrote about egg donors and adoption. This is a very controversial topic all around because many people feel differently for diversed reasons about it. Although egg donation is a very expensive process, if I personally could not make a child and if I had the money I would consider conceiving a child that way.
I believe adoption is a great way to bring in a beautiful child into your home and family. I would definitely adopt if I needed to because I do honestly believe that there are many children around the world who unfortunately do not have a loving family and needs one. Either way, I don't believe either option is negative, so I am pro both sides. I would want to have a child that has my genes and facial features, so I will consider the egg donation. On the other side, I would not mind having a child that had no form of similarity to my family and I. So, either way is fine with me.
I think this type of decision is really determined by the couple's financial situation and/or whether or not the couple will accept and love a child that isn't "their blood." The main objective is to have a child to love and care for no matter what.
