Donor sperm vs. adoption

I have gone through the testing and am ready to pick a donor, but my husband and I are still unsure as to whether we should go ahead with donor sperm or adopt. There are so many uncertainties with both, and I don't know if it's fair that I get to pass on my genes and he doesn't or how the child will feel knowing their father isn't their biological father. I do have a strong desire to be pregnant and experience that, but I don't know if I'm being selfish. Any thoughts on how to decide?

    My husband and I went through the exact same thing. My husband was unable to get me pregnant due to his cancer at a young age wiping out all sperm production. We went and talked to a counselor. She helped us talk through the "pros/cons" of each direction. It was good to talk to a objective 3rd person that wasn't a family member. We ended up using donor sperm and I had the best pregnancy ever. I wish you luck which ever route you choose.
