As a result of their fertility complications, Michael and Brandon have had many appointments and tests to hopefully get some answers. Like several of her sisters, Michael Bates has blood clotting disorders. After a little while, however, they decided to keep that part of their life private. Now, they only occasionally share about this topic.

Over the years, fans have wondered if surrogacy is an option. Many of Michael’s sisters have had healthy pregnancies and babies, so her fans thought she could ask a sister to carry a baby for her. But she confirmed that this is not an option.

Now, Michael Bates is opening up once again.

What did she say about surrogacy, IVF, and adoption?

On her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Michael responded to fans’ assumptions about herself and her husband Brandon. Naturally, a few assumptions about her fertility were brought up. One fan assumed that Michael and Brandon are opposed to IVF and adoption. In response, the Bringing Up Bates star explained where they stand with these options, as well as surrogacy.

She explained that they have not attempted to pursue IVF and surrogacy. However, her doctors have told her that “neither is a medical option” for her.

Then, Michael Bates shared her feelings about adoption. She said, “Adoption is something very dear to our hearts. We are not currently in the process of adoption but it is definitely something continually on our prayer list!”
