When my husband and I were going through infertility treatment, I used to hear **** like that all the time. People would say that, or say, "maybe God doesn't want for you to have children". To that I would say that since God gave me my brilliant infertility doctor, I beg to differ.
Whether it's true or not (and I don't think it is, but that's just me), it shouldn't be said to someone who is going through it. People are insanely insensitive, but you develop a thick skin. It's actually much more hurtful if it comes from someone in your family or someone you're really close with.
Btw Michelle, I'm glad your friend was able to adopt- that's awesome. We are going to adopt next year when I'm closer to finishing grad school.
