[quote=Anonymous]I found this chain very intriguing, thank you.  My husband and I are the opposite situation as one of the previous posters.  I also have a genetic eye condition.  Well, we now know it's genetic as my 9 month old son has it too.  We met with a pediatric ophthalmologist prior to conceiving, and he thought it would not be genetic since no one else in my family has it.  But I guess a fluke has to turn into genetics somewhere along the line.  We would love to have another child but feel it would be irresponsible using my eggs knowing that the baby would likely have to undergo surgery as a newborn.  We would definitely be happy just the three of us too...but we're looking into adoption and donor eggs just for the possibility.  I'm worried that if we go with a donor egg, my biological child will think that we went out of our way to avoid having a baby like him.  Breaks my heart thinking about it!  Sorry, I know this post was originally just about IVF but I found the turn toward genetics interesting.[/quote]
