Ok, and you're well within your right to feel that way based on your life experience. You're missing my point though. Not everyone can afford surrogacy and not everyone wants to handle the emotional baggage of adoption/fostering. That doesn't make them selfish or narcissistic. If my wife was infertile I wouldn't leave her because I decided long ago that I would rather not have children and be with her than have children with somebody else. However, I think it's unfair that people can take a delicate issue like this and broadly dismiss it as “narcissistic” because other people don't make the same decisions that they would.
Please get a second and maybe even a third opinion.
