About 700/yr to store them.

Is it expensive to store them?

Whew, that was an overwhelming read and further solidified why I'm still deciding between discarding or just freezing into perpetuity.

It's funny the adoptive parents include a presumably lesbian woman softball player and two men married to each other. Yet the readers blame picky women for rejecting men.

Literally the headline of the article “More Than a Million Embryos Are in Cold Storage. What Should Happen to Them?”

The WSJ has a story about foster care and unused embryos. FWIW, I have donor-egg twins.

There are pictures of adorable babies, and I'm happy they got adopted. But the most popular comments are quite judgemental:
Most high-quality, heterosexual men who are financially stable, and interested in marriage and children have been locked down by their mid-to-late'30s. ... This imbalance between women wanting babies and not enough men to help make and rear them - is one of the unintended consequences of late stage feminism, which encouraged women to pursue a career, but didn't really deal with the fact that women do have this ticking biological time clock.
That is so ridiculous it is hard to read. There are plenty of men that want to have children. There is not a shortage of men. The problem is most women want to share the same top 10% of men.
