[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about the fact that you are likely creating a trauma for any kids that result from this "donation"? Any adoption, no matter how loving and secure, is a trauma for the child, knowing that his/her bio parents couldn't or wouldn't take care of him.

OP here.

Is this a serious question? Seems kinda troll-like.[/quote]
I did not write this question but it does not seem far-fetched to me that a child could wonder why wasn't s/he wanted by his own parents.  Does not seem troll-like in the least.  Hopefully the kids would not think that way, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility.[/quote]

I wrote that question. Not a troll at all. I have embryos myself in storage. If you haven't considered this question, you should. [/quote]

OP here.

Since you say you're sincere, I'll take your question at face value.

We thought about this issue, and didn't weigh it heavily. [b]We guessed that any trauma would likely be minor, if existent at all.[/b] We are OK with creating a bit of trauma if it means that a kid gets to live and the adopting family gets to become parents.[/quote]

You seem very naive about adoption and it's affect on the adoptee. [/quote]

OP here.

You may be right. I'll report back in five or so years and let you know how the kid is doing. Fingers crossed![/quote]

You are just showing yourself to be more and more naive.  On what planet do you think you'll have the kind of access to this child that will allow you to know "how the kid is doing"?  You won't.  Realistically you'll be very lucky to get one picture a year, if that.  [/quote]
