[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which service did you use?  Were there any costs involved for you as the donating couple?  Are you having hard feelings about knowing your genetic children are going to be out there but not being raised by you?  I want to do this so badly, but it makes me so nervous that I'll have a hard time dealing with it once these additional children become a reality.[/quote]

OP here.

We used Nightlight. There were no costs for us.

It's certainly a concern that at some point my husband and I may feel sad that we're not raising a future child. However, currently we are just thrilled at the prospect of helping another couple to become parents.

For me, my love for my children has grown as I have nurtured them. I wasn't one of those women who fall in love with her kid at birth. So I expect to feel a real emotional distance from any new child. However, I would be sad for sure if future kids didn't get a chance to at least know us a bit.

By thoughtfully selecting the adopting family, I feel that I am doing the best that I can for the embryos -- mothering them in my own, admittedly very removed, way. [/quote]
