[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat off point, but, many of us who have successfully conceived with IVF have frozen embryos we will not be using and would love to adopt them out.  My husband and I will soon be looking into how-where to do that right now.  Though our embryos have not been genetically tested  I am assuming that we will have to provide information on whether there have been successful pregnancies from embryos created in the same cycle, and that anyone wanting to adopt our remaining embryos will have that info. Following this string as I’m interested from the other side.  [/quote]

We are in the same boat - had two kids via IVF and have three unused embryos stored at SGF.  We are over 35 but embryos are PGS tested normal.  It's an agonizing choice for sure but we decided against adoption. [b]I just can't accept that children that are genetically mine will be raised somewhere else. [[/b]/quote]

Most normal people wouldn't go for this either. [/quote]
[b]Yeah, I guess those who give up their children for adoption are abnormal too[/b].  :roll: [/quote]

They aren't abnormal.  They are women who unwillingly became pregnant and aren't able/willing to raise their kids.  [b]No one wants to give up their kid for adoption or does so willingly.[/b]  Giving one's own child away is a sad, heartbreaking thing to have to do. [/quote]

I misspoke this part and I know someone is going to jump on it.  I don't mean that they weren't willing to give their kid up for adoption, but that they never wanted to be in this situation to begin with.   They did not choose to become pregnant with the intention of giving their kids to someone else.  They did so, because of bad circumstances. [/quote]
