Myth: As soon as you adopt, you’ll get pregnant.

This is a myth! Adoption does not guarantee or ensure pregnancy, and it should not be used as a means to try and get pregnant. Pregnancy is a biological process, and a couple can not determine if and when they will become pregnant.

I was curious about what 'myths' they want to bust. What are these massive misconceptions about infertility?Quote
Myth: As soon as you adopt, you’ll get pregnant.
Yeah, and not adopting is a good contraceptive, just like douching with coke.
For it to be a myth, wouldn't someone actually have to believe it? As opposed to throwing it out there in the same way that you'd say "I washed my car and now it's going to rain" or "I'm waiting for a phone call, so now I'm going to take a bath." Yet they treat it seriously enough to explain why it is not true:Quote
This is a myth! Adoption does not guarantee or ensure pregnancy, and it should not be used as a means to try and get pregnant. Pregnancy is a biological process, and a couple can not determine if and when they will become pregnant.
But of course, you know the myth I really wanted to look at was the one called 'childfree living.' I was surprised it wasn't full of 'myths' about how you can always overcome being childfree, and was actually attacking some bingos, namely 'empty lives' and 'selfish'.
Don't worry, though. They'll quickly have you back to puking with the myths about men and infertility--read “Something must be wrong with our marriage if my wife wants a baby so bad.†for a good dose of "for many women, having a baby is as biologically necessary as breathing" followed by a bit of "a baby is the ultimate consummation of that love—truly the definition of two souls becoming one."
Oh, and did you know that there's no such thing as an unwanted baby?

This is probably the by product of the expression “what’s the matter, you shootin’ blanks†so many guys hear as part of the standard locker room insult fests uttered when a guy of child bearing maturity has not conceived and makes the unfortunate decision to confide in guys that seem to get their wives pregnant by looking at them.
You can become more of a man to your wife during the fertility process by learning the lingo and the acronyms for the next procedure so you don’t don that deer in the headlight look when you are in the next consult with your fertility doctor.

Once a woman has found her soulmate, the natural progression for her is going to be to find her soul baby. It doesn’t come from something lacking in the marriage. In fact it is how fulfilled she is in your marriage that produces the strong urge to see what the miracle of creation will yield—your eyes, her smile, your patience, her temper.

If you open up and let in the potential for fatherhood—the vision of a future filled with that first bike ride, that first daddy/daughter dance, that afternoon playing ball in the yard as the sun sets and fire flies start to appear, then it is only natural that a negative outcome from a cycle would be disappointing.
