Who knew ?

Who knew you could adopt embryos??????????? I think I'd heard something about it before because it didn't sound too unfamiliar when our fertility specialist mentioned it. I had yet another appointment with the fertility center this week. I told our doctor that we had been turned down for adoption and that we were thinking about using donor sperm since Jason's count is so erratic. I also told her that now that I was married, using donor sperm seemed a little strange. I had researched sperm banks when I was single and thinking about trying to get pregnant on my own, and was perfectly fine with the idea. Our doctor then said that she wasn't aware that we were considering these kinds of alternative options and asked if we knew about embryo adoption/donation. So, now we have an entirely new option to look at. When one door closes another one opens. This option seems to meet both of my desires: to actually get pregnant and have a baby and to adopt. And it's much less invasive and much less expensive than going through the in vitro process. I haven't told my parents about this option yet. I think they would both be supportive and encouraging, but I don't want anyone to know until we actually get pregnant. So, basically the only one who will know anything is my awesome friend Ramsey, who is the only one who gives a shit enough to actually read my blog. I feel like I'm writing her a letter every time I post something. Anyway, I'll keep you posted. We now have to get MORE tests done and hopefully we can get started in January!
