As an adoptive parent myself, I know several couples who chose to not pursue biological children because of genetic conditions.

Unfortunately, I also know some who chose to ignore the advice of their genetic counselor and now have 3 lovely, but severely mentally disabled children (Fragile X run amuck) who will never be able to live independently.



I wasn't trying to imply it doesn't happen, only that it doesn't happen _frequently_.
