John Legend encourages couples to consider IVF
John Legend has encouraged other hopeful parents to consider IVF after he welcomed his daughter Luna with Chrissy Teigen following years of struggling to conceive.
The singer opened up on the pair’s difficulties starting a family in a tell-all chat, and admitted he’s happy they chose to seek help.
The pair welcomed nine-month-old daughter Luna through In-Vitro Fertilisation, which involved eggs being collected and fertilised in a lab.
Speaking to Newsweek, he said: “There are some who look down on people that have fertility issues and need to use IVF. We have had fertility issues for years and had to use IVF.

There's a case now where the birth father, who was in jail when the child was born, and the druggie bio mom lost custody in the courts; the child was adopted quite legally. Now, three years later, the bio dad decided he wanted the kid and was granted custody. The adoptive parents are fighting it, but it doesn't look good for them.

There does need to be a lot of reform in family courts and demolition of this idea of bio-family reunification above all else. I don't even know how the above is even a serious fight. Given how difficult it is for an ex-con to make a decent living and the high rate of recidivism, why are they even entertaining the idea of ripping a toddler away from the only family it has ever known to throw it into an unstable environment where it may be exposed to criminal and other unsavory elements? The resulting trauma and attachment issues from being forcibly taken away from its rightful family to live with a felon who will likely go back to living a criminal lifestyle (and the possibly shitty family from which he was produced) will turn a kid that had potential in being a productive member of society to being felon generation xerox.

While I get what you are saying, I think the key word was publicized. The media is hugely biased, tending to be pro-breeder. I don't think the majority of adoptees want contact with their bio parents, I just think the minority that do receive more media attention because their stories align with the media's pro-breeder message. Now a formal study or survey would give a more definitive answer, but I think like all things it largely depends on the individuals involved and their beliefs. I was given the option to meet my bio parents and I said no, because imo the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, and I don't believe in non-voluntary obligations {ex. you have to take care of aging relatives, people shouldn't put dangerous tards in an institute because 'he's their baby', etc}

I have never considered looking up my sperm- and egg-donor. My real [adoptive] family, the one that raised me and cared for me and loved me, are quite enough, thank you.

I have tried to find my birth family. I didn't do it because of the usual reasons, feeling something missing or wanting to find my 'real' family. I did it to find out more about my stinky health situation, something I think genetics has lots to do with.

It's hard to even respect people who try to conceive and THEN adopt, because it reeks of consolation prize, but shit, I'll take that a thousand times over this IVF bullcrap. Huge waste of technology and money just so Moo can waddle around and get bellypats in public. Nobody comes to your "we're in the adoption pool!" party but goddamn if the sheep don't line up for the baby showers, sprinkles, gender reveal horseshit and every other gift grab under the sun for pregnant women.
IVF sometimes feels to me like it isn't about wanting a child - it's about Mooooo wanting to be preggers more than anything else.

[If it was men who got pregnant I bet they wouldn't be clamouring for "the experience" of pregnancy and working to developing uterus transplants, they'd be supporting research into growing foetuses in jars so they could skip all the unpleasantness.
