Yes it is: Unless either partner an autosomal dominant genetic disease (where there is a 50% chance of passing it on to a child) which which might well lead to child having major permanent disability or early death, in which case adoption might be preferable. Ivf now has quite a high success rate, but even so is not always successful.

A member asked:

My name is Wendy Stratman, I work for JCPS schools. I've been sent an email regarding needing accommodations for being at high risk for covid. 2 of the risk factors were obesity and caring for parents. I fall into both of these. They have asked for documents from a physician for these. I don't have a PCP at this time. I was trying to avoid having to go to a dr office as I am not sick and offices are swamped. Is there a virtual option for getting documents? thx! documentation for accommodations?
