donor eggs verses donor embryos
Hi ladies,
As many of you know, my DH and I are preparing to move forward with a fresh start w/donor eggs. My question is, I know that there are clinics that offer Donor Embryo's at a fraction of the cost. I know there is 1 person on here how is preggers by donor embryo's (but cannot find the post or remember who :o( ) So, I have decided to reach out to my MH friends and see what their experiences/thoughts are on Donor Eggs verses Donor Embryos. I would love to hear anything anyone thinks or has to say. I do know there is an Agency Snowflakes, but they are very expensive at around 28,000 just to adopt the embryos... and i know there is a couple of places in North Carolina that just charge the cost of the transfer, and the embryo adoption is free...
I am just weighing our options and want to keep an open mind. My DH has mentioned Adoption a couple of times, and I think he may be open to the embryo adoption idea.
thanks in advace for your answers!!

I don't know much about this but it's definitely a noble thought. If your husband is open adoption then this is much better than that. You will cherish and nurture the baby in the womb until u hold in your hands. If it is less expensive and if you are open to this you should go ahead.

On one hand, adopting an embryo that would otherwise not have a shot at life is compelling. On the other, I would love to see my husband in a baby.
But with a donor egg sometimes I worry the child's attachment to me would be less than that with my husband.
There is alot to consider and no easy answers. But I am grateful we live now, when we have so many options, as opposed to in the past, when there wasn't much that could be done.
And of course we will love whatever baby comes into our lives : )
