[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't followed it all the way, but I remember being shocked that they located the biological parents and they didn't choose to sue for custody.  I get why it's not the birth couple's fault, but I couldn't be so generous.

I went through IVF and I can't imagine being either couple in this scenario.[/quote]

I think it was a very loving choice by the genetic parents.  They didn't want to take a baby from the only family it has known or put parents who had bonded with and carried a baby through the pain of loss.[/quote]

Well sure, I called it generous.  I just couldn't do it.  [/quote]

Maybe the couple "lucked out" in the sense that the biological parents had already completed their family, and it was a surplus embryo. We're not given any details but it could be something along those lines. [/quote]

Is that actually lucky? Can you imagine being the biological couple’s other children and knowing that your parents would just give your siblings away? It would make me feel very disposable. [/quote]

I know a family that had donated two embryos to another couple (they had two kids via IVF from two attempts and were done).  Those embryos must have been some super successful ones because the other couple also had two kids.   The families keep in touch and plan to introduce their kids at some point.  [/quote]
