Key Issues

Snowflake Adoptions

When I discussed adoption earlier, I neglected to mention a method that is growing in popularity.

Many couples, after In-Vitro Fertilization, have leftover fertilized eggs. In an effort to prevent their embryos from being used for stem-cell research, many parents have donated their embryos to the Snowflake Adoption program.

They match genetic features between bio parents and adoptive/birth parents as closely as possible.

IVF is always expensive, but this program allows an adoptive mother to form and give birth to her child.

Personally, I won't be jumping on board. I've given birth once, and that is enough for me. But I know someone personally who has all but given up, so I'll be sending the link her way, and I thought I'd share it here as well.
