[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not at all the “exact same decision.” I think it might be worthwhile for you to read some books written about children conceived via donor gametes. I think it’s important to contemplate this from the perspective of the future child. I’m in the middle of a donor egg cycle for #2. First child is bio for both of us. So this is something we evaluated at length together. [/quote]

I have had counseling on this and I do not remotely see how it is not the same thing. It is the same adopted child. You are simply adopting the child earlier in its development. [/quote]

OP, here’s your problem (at least as far as this board. Is concerned):

You consider carrying/raising a child that’s not biologically yours as adoption.

Many people on this board don’t like to think about the reality that implanting a donor embryo is very similar to traditional adoption- just different stages of development, as you put it. People are attacking you because statements like these are an attack against the carefully constructed reality they have built for themselves. When you factor in how expensive donor eggs can be, it’s no wonder people are fighting back agains your (perceived) attack on their life.

You are not going to get useful advice here. Your entire post has everyone on the defensive [/quote]

Talk about constructing a false reality. Almost every poster here is telling OP that she clearly needs a lot more therapy because of the issues in her marriage. Donor egg or donor embryo, OP's anger at her husband is going to complicate the life of their existing child and any other child they bring into this marriage, regardless of how.[/quote]
