I have not been watching the later seasons of Grey's Anatomy, so I haven't seen any part of this arc. But as a woman who has never wanted children and can't imagine ever wanting them, I am amazed that the show went through with this storyline. Because you never get to see sane/healthy women not want children on tv, it's a part integral to how I experience life that is hardly ever portrayed.
As an aside, one of my favourite things about White Collar when I was watching it was that Elizabeth and Peter were shown as mature adults who had a been happily married for a long time and who didn't have children, and the show felt no need to explain why they didn't - no underlying pathologies or failures, no horrible arguments festering beneath the surface - they just didn't have children and it wasn't treated as noteworthy. I'm very far behind on the show now, and I don't know if this is still true, but in s1, it made me very happy.
