[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do adoptive parents ever consider just "adopting" a donor EMBRYO?  we went through IVF to have out daughter and we looked briefly at adoption but a healthy white infant would likely require a private attorney and not an adotpion service. we are both late 30s and told that we were going to be a difficult placement through a service.  We were looking at 5--75k to find a baby and probably have to relocate to another state briefly to finalize the adoption. If IVF didn't work, I would have looked into the donor embryo from someone who has a lot of frozen ones from their now IVF.  I figure its the same as adoption but without the drama of a birth mom backing out or having all kinds of issues from an addict mom.[/quote]

Adoptive parent here. No, we never considered adopting a donor embryo. We didn't want to do IVF for a variety of reasons and we were very comfortable with adoption. I'm an adult adoptee and being pregnant/having a genetic relationship was never important to me, though I know other adoptees who felt like it was very important to have a bio connection with their children.  We spent the same amount on our international adoption as it would've cost us to do the shared risk program.[/quote]
