My wife and I was pursuing adoption, got started a little bit before the pandemic hit. We knew it would be a long wait, but during lockdown the agency told us that now even fewer women are turning to adoption. Being at home, and having more people work from home, made it possible for less women to seek adoption. We have since switched to gestational surrogacy.

I don't know how to feel about the adoption part, those kids deserve a home.

Also, CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW KID!
