"Snowflakes"- has anybody else heard of this?

[newcreature]

Soowflakes is an orginization that takes fertilized eggs from couples that were TTC, and were successful, but who did not want the remaining embryos to be thrown out. So, instead, they offer up the embryos for adoption.

, What do you think?

I want a baby with my husband sooooo bad, and my husband is keen on the idea of adopting a baby via a fertilized egg. Is this ethical for a couple TTC? Am i in the right board to have this question answered??

I think that's a great option if for whatever reason you two cannot have a biological child. What would be unethical about it, many christian and non Christian couples use donated eggs or sperm. Although for the sake of you giving birth, I'd make sure the kid will look similar to my hubby.

Thanks Linnis! We can not have a child together because he has a non-reversable(sp?) vasectomy about 16 years ago. The doctor took out the vas deferens tube, so there is no way it can be reversed.

Yeah if you must use donated I'd go all donated instead of half...that way it could never become an issue...well the babies biologically yours but not mine...or vise vera

So what did you guys decide,
I like Linnis' point about adopted a whole rather the half...
