[quote=Anonymous]22:18 here:

I do think people have raised some valuable points here about what-ifs. You can drive yourself crazy with what-ifs, but they're still worth thinking through and talking over -- and getting in writing.

Also, I don't disagree that eggs may be the bigger issue, so your doctor (and their social worker team) is an invaluable stop in the journey.

And yes, we plan to have another child using (roughly) the same arrangement. I do think it's been important for my parents to feel a connection to the child, and it has tickled them beyond words to see my family in this child.

Shortly after the baby was born, my mother was just thinking out loud, and she said "Wouldn't it be cool if they could combine your partner's egg with your brother's sperm, and put the baby in you to carry?"

So that's what we did. I'm pregnant with #2 now, but it's still early. But I feel really optimistic about it -- in part because it just feels like the right decision made for the right reasons.

Whatever you decide, OP, I know you are going to feel really good about it. And I have a strong hunch it won't be the parade of horribles we've all trotted out for you to think about. :-)[/quote]
