Why didn't Carl and Ellie adopt a child?


It seems that when Ellie lost her ability to conceive naturally, they just gave up on having a child altogether even though they really wanted one. Obviously fertility treatments didn't exist back then, but I'm pretty sure there were still plenty of kids in need of adoption. They didn't have to be all sad and alone. Just saying.

Because Carl was terrible with money and lazy. Thanks to this movie, some men willl think it's okay to blame everyone and everything else for their poor financial decisions; and in the end, will celebrate themselves for finally getting the job done.

Too late there, Carl. Too late.
