Q: Now that you're adopting you're going to get pregnant

Q: Now that you're adopting you're going to get pregnant

This isn't a question, it's a statement, but we both have heard it A LOT in the last couple weeks.  People saying "You know how it is, as soon as you adopt you're going to get pregnant."  It was in one of our adoption classes and we were both surprised at how often that's been a response.  According to my adoption book, previously "infertile" couples who adopt have the same rate of pregnancy (5%) as those who are infertile and don't adopt.  Adoption has absolutely no effect on if we'll get pregnant.  It'd be wonderful and we'd definitely welcome it, but it's not any more likely now than before.
