However, it is sad to hear the couple has been in limbo. Seems to be in a tough emotional spot as there is still another embryo in line before yours. Thoughts with you, the couple and all of the embryos.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-37413603005681431312017-03-05T00:30:44.293-08:002017-03-05T00:30:44.293-08:00This is such a unique and complex situation.

I wonder if it's one of those things that there are complexities I'm not even thinking of, or if it's one of those things where I'm assuming it's way more complex than it is. I know people usually assume the feelings we have toward this baby being created with donor sperm are way more complicated than they are. It's pretty simple, we usually forget. The people who know, when they ask I think want a much longer answer. All we really have to offer is an "eh, we don't really think about it." and a shrug.

They're meeting with their clinic in a few weeks. I need to write a post about it soon. I hope you get some good news soon. And I can add you to the FB group if you are interested... there's a donor group and a group for donors/recipients. You can be a donor using any kind of service/matching. It's more to discuss thoughts and feelings about the whole thing. Let me know if you are interested in either.

I mean, life is unpredictable for everyone but with regards to the major life experiences humans have faced for generations, we at least have some internalized expectation of what it's going to be like. There's a body of literature, some tradition to grab hold of. But waiting for someone to possibly have a child with an embryo you created while hoping to adopt.....is that like anything else? You are doing amazing work, but it must be really hard.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-63171042998041828272017-02-28T01:51:37.101-08:002017-02-28T01:51:37.101-08:00I'm sorry that none of you has had closure; wh...I'm sorry that none of you has had closure; why do these things always have to typically drag on so interminably: they should be fast-tracked when you think of the stress, costs, and anxiety at play in all of it. It's a shame your usual contact is leaving. As I read this I tried to imagine myself in this situation, knowing that in the future someone might use mine and my hub's embryo. It must be a strange feeling, Jess; I'm finding it hard to imagine just what it must feel like. I think it's a beautiful, big-hearted thing to do but it must be a bit surreal. I'd also be anxious for March, to find out what the score is and whether they have success with the other embryo. It's March now though, more or less (god as I was writing that it felt like March was still a couple of months ago - crazy how time is always bloody flying). I hope you have news soon.
