Most infertile couples explore adoption early in their fertility treatment journey. However, they often wait for definitive treatment conclusions before fully committing to the adoption process.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Psychology of Infertility
  • Family Studies

Context:

  • Couples undergoing medical assistance for procreation often face complex decisions regarding family building.
  • Understanding the timing and considerations of adoption is crucial for supporting these individuals.

Purpose:

  • To investigate when infertile couples consider adoption in relation to their medical fertility treatments.
  • To determine if couples seek clinician advice before initiating adoption procedures.

Summary:

  • A study surveyed 90 couples undergoing fertility treatment regarding their views and actions on adoption.
  • Nearly half (49%) opposed adoption, particularly if they already had children via medical assistance.
  • A significant majority (84.5%) considered adoption upon learning of their infertility, with many actively researching it (69%).

  • While 29% started adoption procedures, only 18% intended to finalize adoption.

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest couples initiate adoption considerations independently of medical advice.
    • Clinician confirmation of treatment finality may be a catalyst for deeper engagement with adoption.
    • Some couples may opt for childlessness or gamete donation over adoption.
