a question

This might sound judgmental or insensitive, but I don't mean it to be.

I know there's no wrong way to make a family, blah blah blah, but I was thinking about in vitro fertilization, and although it is a great technology, why do it?

I understand if you are a millionaire, then throwing down 10,000 bones is not really a financial stress, but many couples choose in vitro when it is a financial stress. I guess my real question is this: Why do in vitro when it is financially stressful and not 100% guaranteed when you could adopt for less and getting a kid out of it is 100% guaranteed?

I've often wondered that myself...about why people seem to turn to that over adoption so frequently. Maybe it's because as many kids as there are to adopt, the process can take a lonng time, even longer than the invitro process. But I don't know...
