Obviously to give these embryos a great shot at a family that we'd feel comfy with, but also out of morbid curiosity as to what it's like to look through one of those books with a critical eye, looking to see if it's the right fit, the right connection.

I feel that it is a gift to be able to give them a shot elsewhere and then to get to know about it and have a part in that life even if it's completely peripheral. Just to have a peek into what those embryos might have come to had we been able to make them babies. And, selfishly, to maybe get answers on why this just didn't work for us. We will see what comes of all this! :) Thank you for your good vibes!

Today's bloodwork means bubkus. It's worth it to us, but just so surreal.

It speaks to the love in which you created them.
