[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like a cruel and arbitrary roll of the dice that some of your and your DH's biological kids will get to live with their bio parents and not have the emotional issues that come with adoption, and some won't and will consequently be weighed down with what is inevitable emotional turmoil.

I understand that you feel science or compassionate transfer or not using the embryos is also cruel, and I admit I do not identify with that.

In any case, what a terrible conundrum. I do not envy your decision. [/quote]

OP here.

It is completely arbitrary -- some lab tech essentially chose which of our biological children will be raised by us and which by someone else. It's really a bizarre situation. When IVF was created decades ago, I wonder if the scientists had any notion of the sorts of odd situations that would come up.

Honestly, for me the decision was easy. It felt 100% clear as soon as we had our final kid. Actually, we even told our fertility doctor about our decision when I was still pregnant with our last kid. [/quote]
