[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a tough  decision for sure. If you are thinking about donating them to another couple, there is a site out there with some good info on the process. http://www.embryoadoption.org/donors/index.cfm[/quote]

The thing about this link and anything that refers to embryo donation as "embryo adoption" is that there is an ideology behind it.  An embryo is not a person.  I say this as someone who is pro-choice, yet who very much wants to give my excess frozen embryos to another couple.  You can have a lot of say in who gets the embryos, you can (and should) have attorney representation and a contract drawn up to protect yourself and specify things that are important to you.  You do not need to go to a religion-based organization that most likely opposes and is working politically to end IVF because it's a procedure that creates excess embryos.

The embryos have the potential to become a person.  Even if every single one was transferred, not all would take.  It is not adoption.[/quote]
