[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I understand your question. Deciding what to do with the embryos was one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make. We paid to freeze them for years. Finally, we decided to donate them to research. My DD knows she's a child of IVF. She's only 12, so she hasn't asked a lot of questions yet, although she knows that there were two embryos put in and only one (her) implanted. I think that was a little weird for her to realize she could have been a twin. I'm sure she'll ask this question or it will come up at some point and we will have to explain. This is hard for me because, unlike some on this board, I do feel like this has moral implications. I felt that in deciding to use IVF in the first place too. I hope that the embryos we donated led to some important scientific knowledge.[/quote]
