Entering Embryo Adoption???

So just when we thought we were heading towards our final destination on Infertility Road: domestic adoption, we have encountered yet another twist in navigating our journey....embryo donation. A year ago I had no idea that this program even existed. On our last round of IVF I shared with my embryologist about our plans of proceeding with adoption if IVF failed. It was then that she led me to Embryo Donation International. When I googled the program I was amazed at the idea. So I'd still be adopting but I could carry my adopted baby? And it was cheaper as in $35,000 cheaper than domestic adoption? Yes! So after IVF failed we applied in June. When we didn't hear anything about our application, I didn't think very much of it again as no news usually means it isn't an option anymore. Then in the midst of completing our adoption paperwork we got the acceptance. This was three weeks ago! The biggest hesitation I had was if my body was capable of carrying a baby after the 2 miscarriages. But after my fertility center encouraged me I would be fine, Aaron and I decided to give embryo donation a chance. Because why not? We've pretty much tried it all at this point. So after more paperwork, Aaron and I had a hot date and filtered through the potential embryo donors. It was so cool! We got to read their ages, genders, medical histories, and quality and grade of embryos. A hop, skip and a week later here we are in Fl to meet with Dr. Sweet, prestigious reproductive specialist who was unphased by my previous history and confident about our chances. His expertise was impressive along with his facilities. A gurney table that's warming with a camera and monitor I can see? Wow! And I got a video of my experience. Not that I'll be selling tickets for a movie night but still unique to have. December is the month of our embryo transfer which is fitting because it will be the anniversary of our second miscarriage. I have hope though that adopted baby Kahan will be happily growing in my belly this holiday season. Either way to know there is an additional option out there aside from adoption and surrogacy after IVF is amazing!
