[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are definitely fees for all the admin, lawyers and FET costs. Not sure if there’s a fee that goes to the donors though.  It is not a way for people to recover IVF costs. [/quote]

We donated embryos and there was no fee. I think it would be unusual for donors to pay a fee. If anything, donating the embryos enabled us to cut costs because we no longer had to pay storage fees.[/quote]

Do you think it’s weird to have other people raise your biological children?[/quote]

No.  We had twins and have 3 embryos left.  I can't stomach the thought of destroying the embryos, but we also cannot afford or want to have additional children (we were in our 40's when we had our twins and are now in our low 50's).  We have been paying for cryopreservation for the last few years and I would love to have someone else raise these children.  I remember how painful our own journey was and if we can help someone else solve their infertility problems and not destroy those children, I'm all for it.  My one caveat, is that I would want to have occasional contact with the children, like photos every few years and maybe a visit every few years.  I would love to know the children (I don't need them to know that we are the biological parents until they are adults, so I don't care if we are just introduced as family friends, but I would like to see the children grow).

As for the OP's question, the organizations I have looked into, there are no costs for donors.  Any costs that are normally involved are picked up by the organization.  Adoptive parents have fees including legal fees that they have to pay.[/quote]
