Adoption is not an easy process. Maybe they are not acceptable for adoption agencies. Many adoption agencies (even the CAS) are known to be incredibly descriminating against potential parents. Meaning, even something as trivial as the number of bathrooms in your house, can count you out from adopting a child. If you are young and don't own your home, you may as well forget adoption.humpler said:that is true , also about the lawyer
but just wondering why dont they just adopt a kid? you think they might have criminal record or something?
No I have never tried adopting and I am no expert on it. However I do know many people who work in the social services feild. I grew up in foster care and spent a lot of time picking the brains of social workers and reading phamplets in the CAS office. I have also read a few books and taken university courses related to the topic.humpler said:thats insane
you sure do know your stuff
you tried adopting one or something?

C Dick said:One big reason why they might not want to adopt is that with the CL way, the baby is her biological child, if not his. That makes a big difference. Still, CL is a funny way to go about it - they don't know any fertile men? And as has already been pointed out, why not the turkey baster? You would certainly want to be cautious, with full lawyer and medical check before committing.
A lesbian couple I knew wanted a donor, and I volunteered. But they changed their mind.

bee eh said:Something is not quite right...aritificial insemination is easy, and very carefully screened sperm is available from what I understand. This is much easier than in vitro - which is used where the woman cannot get pregnant from normal means.
But perhaps they are looking for an excuse to swing a bit. That seems more likely.
