[quote=Anonymous]We opted to tell my husband's parents who are Catholic and very conservative. We realized that they wouldn't approve from a religious standpoint, and we also weren't sure that they'd understand from the scientific perspective either. They were ultimately very supportive, but I think it was hard for them to get over the conflict with their faith (although they never said anything directly to us). We were matter of fact: We've been trying to conceive without success, we really want a child as part of our family, there's a process called IVF that helps to overcome the difficulty we're having with conception, and we are using IVF to try and conceive a child. We didn't get super technical and they didn't ask too many questions other than how they could support us. At the end of the day, I think they wanted a grandchild and how our baby came into our lives didn't matter. They got that. Best wishes, OP. [/quote]
