Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute has been helping people in and around Honolulu, HI, become parents for over three decades. Their personalized approach to fertility solutions makes it possible for individuals and couples to build the families they’ve always wanted, and it’s widely considered to be the premier fertility treatment center for in vitro fertilization on the island. 

Many people who seek out treatment from Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute aren’t sure if they want to go through with the process or pursue adoption. In the end, people who choose in vitro do so for a few different reasons. For starters, while adoption is a wonderful choice for some, others find the adoption process to be emotionally grueling. It’s not uncommon for adoptions to fall through at the last minute or for prospective parents to wait for years on waiting lists for a child. Many people like the fact that in vitro fertilization has fewer potential pitfalls, and some people even seek out in vitro after failed attempts to adopt. 

Another reason people choose in vitro fertilization over adoption is because they want to know more about who their child will be. When you adopt a child, there’s often very little information available about their genetic background, especially if one of the parents is unknown. While some parents are completely comfortable with the unknown aspect of adopting, it makes others nervous. With in vitro fertilization, you have a lot more control over the whole process of having a child, even if you use donor eggs and sperm. Additionally, in vitro fertilization gives many people the option to carry their own child to term, and some women who desire the experience of being pregnant and giving birth choose it for that reason alone. 

Making the choice between adoption and in vitro fertilization is deeply personal, but if you want to explore all of your options, the fertility doctors from Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute can help.
