Here is a thought; If Embryos are children, could one sue the state of Alabama to receive tax credits for the number of “children” they have frozen? There are various tax breaks for families with children aren’t there?

Thank you for this clear post and the emotional depth it offers in order to invite everyone to rlate to this challange. I suspect you are preaching to the quire and that most your readers lean towards one political spectrum. I wish this note reached a wider audience.

You’re doing good work! Keep being courageous and continue to offer the healing that you do.

Thank you for sharing. I have a shorter post from a non-medical person going live tomorrow. Yesterday (February 28) marked the six year transfer-versary of the embryo that became my son. He was from a donor and had been on ice for about 10 years. I can’t believe that his oldest genetic sibling is in high school while my little guy is in kindergarten. Maybe some day, they’ll find each other. Maybe not (anonymous donors).
