On this very blog I said CLEARLY many, many times that I would NOT NOT NOT think anything of donating any residual embryos forward. And, you know what, I don't. But I will admit that after having my daughter, I feel a strong responsibility towards those 11 clumps of cells I created and I simply
That I cannot do with a clear conscience. Yes, I would rather donate them to research.
I don't feel like their mother, I feel like their guardian - that I am to ensure they're placed into the hands of good people. And other than maybe "friends" on Fa..ce..bo.ok and sharing some pictures here and there, that's it. I don't want to dictate to those parents what's right for they and their children. I merely want to make every effort possible that my beautiful little lady will have the opportunity to know her siblings - at some point that everyone is comfortable with.
Maybe that's fucked up and asking too much. I don't know.
By the way, here's the latest pic - waiting at doctor's office, she decided to put on my glasses and organize the contents of my purse.
Is she beautiful, or what? :)

Can you transfer them to another clinic that would allow open ID donation?
Awwww! She is beautiful! I love the glasses (in our house, glasses are pronounced "grockies" which I find adorable).
I am sorry about the blast issue--CCRM has some funny rules in my opinion.
I second the idea of transferring them to a clinic that will allow open donation. I wouldn't be able to do anonymous donation either. Good luck with whatever you decide.
You know, this whole post gets me to thinking...Transfering to another clinic is a pain, but can be done. I did it with my husband's sperm.
I love the picture of little miss cuteness!!
BTW, I still haven't forgotten about that e-mail you sent me.
