[quote=Anonymous]First of all, thank you for learning from Donor Conceived People before proceeding.

The previous poster who spoke about how exhausting it is to have a small child in your 40's brings up good points. I'm 40 in a few months with two young kids and tired all the time and now feeling like it's a new job of mine to do strength training 2-3x per week to keep myself as healthy as possible going forward. My parents are local and now nearing 70 and they told me that they were not up for helping with another baby the way they were in years past. You said you have local support, but I wonder if you have actually spoken to people about this to see who is prepared to help in what way. If you do IVF you can genetically test embryos, but there are still unknowns about how IVF will go especially starting later. Would you consider an open embryo adoption with the genetic family in driving distance? That would mean making room in your heart for a different kind of extended family for the sake of your second child, but there are a growing number of these kinds of families.[/quote]
