[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone here assume the birth family strong-armed the genetic parents? Is there any evidence of that? Does anyone even know if the genetic parents wanted another baby?[/quote]

If you have embryos on ice there is always the chance of another baby. Nobody asked them for permission to use their embryo in the first place. This isn't a finders keepers situation. Do you have any kids of your own? Your detachment from genetic bonds is very odd.[/quote]

This situation is a tragedy with no easy answers. Have you never given birth? Can you even imagine someone ripping away a child you always understood to be yours after carrying the child for nine months, having a traumatic delivery, and nursing the baby? The trauma of someone taking that child from me (exactly why I could NEVER be a surrogate).

Suggesting that the “obvious” or “easy” solution is that the birth parents should “give the baby back” is just absurd. Again, it’s a terrible situation with no easy answers.
Someone will be harmed no matter what decision is made.[/quote]

DP but I think the answer is both obvious and incredibly difficult.  The parents who are keeping this baby are doing the easy but unethical thing.[/quote]

Just to be clear, you think taking a child from the woman who birthed, nursed, and raised her for six months won’t have any ill effects on the child?[/quote]

Probably fewer ill effects than feeling abandoned and in a place you don't necessarily fit in or belong when your bio family desperately wanted you.[/quote]
