[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you feel if the children born of the donated embryos do so much better in life (however you define that) than your own children?[/quote] OP here. My husband and I have discussed this issue a few times because it's a real possibility. The adopting parents have impressive backgrounds -- a STEM PhD and a financial services attorney -- and there's a real chance that their kids will be better off financially and have more opportunities than our own. My husband and I are both full-time professionals. However, there's a good chance that our HHI will always be lower than the adopting parents. I don't begrudge these people their substantial income, nor would I do so for any future kids. We might feel occasional stabs of jealousy. But we'll just have to get over that. As long as our kids feel loved and properly provided for, my husband and I will feel that we are giving them the best that we can.[/quote]
