Why Embryo Adoption

Embryo adoption is a third-party reproduction that sprouted from in-vitro fertilization.  Several couples who are physically incapable but financially capable of having a child go for in-vitro fertilization(IVF).  In IVF, too much embryos are produced.  Some of these embryos are donated and are made available for embryo adoption.

Here are some of the reasons that pushes the infertile couples (who own the embryos) to go for embryo adoption:

1.  Much lighter feeling and cleaner conscience

The couple(who owned the embryos) can choose destroy the embryos or have it donated.  Choosing the second option makes them feel lighter because they were able to give another child to live.

Even if the child would be out of their custody, at least he was able to enjoy life and experienced being in a family.  Besides, destruction of embryos doesn’t sound good because embryos are precious living organisms, who have the equal right to live.  Even if emotional attachment might bother the couple, embryo adoption is considered a better decision.

2.   Chance to help other infertile couples

There are some couples who still failed to have a child even after trying IVF or undergoing traditional adoption process.  The infertile couples owning the embryos know how frustrating it is.
And now that they are given the opportunity to help, there’s nothing bad in sharing their delight in having a baby.  Several infertile couples become desperate in hoping to a child.  They undergo different forms of hassles and readily spend out money to make their dream of a complete family come true.  So why be selfish and insensitive to needs of that infertile and to rights of the underdeveloped living thing called embryo?

3.   Chance to know the background of the adoptive couple

Embryo adoption happens with the consent of the donor or the couples owning the embryos.  The owner or the biological donors can ask for some information about the possible adoptive parents.
They can also set conditions that would be followed giving the embryo to adoptive parents.

Infertile couples who are determined to have a child would go for embryo adoption due to the following reasons:

1.  For some couples, it could be the last option

Many infertile couples have tried IVF and inquired in traditional adoption, but then, they still failed.  And here comes another chance of having child by embryo adoption.  Every couple who are dying to have a complete family would normally take the chance by embryo adoption.

2.  Lesser expenses

In-vitro fertilization and traditional adoption requires more expenses than embryo adoption.

3.  Assurance that the child is properly taken care of during the pregnancy period

In embryo adoption, the embryo is injected into the uterus of the adoptive mother.  So, the adoptive couple is certain that during the baby’s development for nine months, no drug or harmful chemicals is taken and that the baby would come out healthy.  Unlike in traditional adoption where the biological mother bears the baby for nine months and give him to the adoptive parents.  During that length of time, the biological mother can have the chance to take in drugs or other substance harmful to the baby.

4.  The adoptive mother is given the experience to bear a child in her womb for nine months

Although bearing a baby for nine months and giving birth is painful, women, mostly mothers, would still choose to undergo in such process and be able to experience the seemingly unbearable pain of having a baby.  It gives them the feeling of fulfillment.

Embryo Adoption is undeniably helpful to infertile parents.  However, it is faced with some ethical issues.   Some are in favor of embryo adoption while some aren’t.

In-Vitro Fertilization is a process helpful for infertile couples in their dream of having a child.  However, producing too much embryos posed as one of its drawbacks.  But this drawback of IVF is one of the factors that gave birth to embryo adoption.

The excess embryo produced were either stored for later possible use or destroy.  Well, the decision to store or destroy depends upon the couples.  If they’d choose to keep the embryos, then they can surely do but those embryos can’t be kept forever.  The couple who owned the said embryos should come up with a decision sooner.  They can choose to implant the embryo and have another child in their family, destroy the embryos, or donate the said embryos to infertile couples who really want to have a child.

Not capable of having their own children is an to infertile couples.  Many options are provided for them and one of these options is in-vitro fertilization.  IVF is a process wherein more gametes are extracted from the male or female individual.  And because of too many embryos acquired, some are just kept.  The couples who owned the embryos normally does not need all those embryos to become children because its hard to support a large number of siblings.  Some go for temporary storage while some chose to give them to infertile couples who are dying to have a child in their family.

Thus, it could be said that as long as IVF exists embryo adoption would also be around.  Couples who owned the said embryos can’t just go for the destruction of the said embryos.  These couples are emotionally attached to these living things.   And these living things called embryos are valued like humans.  Destroying them would be very painful to the couple owning the embryos.  It’s like removing the innocent child’s right and chance to live.  However, giving them to other infertile couple is still a painful yet seemingly better option. The emotional attachment would still bother the individuals who donated the said gametes.  But that would make them feel lighter because they know the background of the adoptive parents and they are left hopeful that a bright future can possibly be provided to the  child.

Embryo adoption, though it still remains as a controversial issue, serves as one of the ways that gives hope to infertile couples in achieving their dream-that of having a child that would complete their family.

Adopting A Girl

I often hear some mothers yelling out and wishing to be pregnant with a baby girl.  Well, these mothers have their own reasons.  In pregnancy, a mother could just hope for a baby to come true.  But in adopting a child, a mother can certainly choose to have a girl.

Having a child in feminine gender brings delight to a couple, specifically to a mother.  Here are few reasons why girls are most often chosen to be adopted:

1. Adoptive mothers can have someone whom she can share her femininity with.

Mothers would love to bond with their child by combing her long glossy hair,  dressing them with different fashionable clothes, shopping, going to the parlor, and beautifying themselves together.  They find doing and talking all about the girl things fun.  It is fulfilling in their part.

2.          Girls are better housekeeper than boys.

The adoptive parents may want babysitting to a child whom they can trust the house to.  Usually, girls are left in the house and expected to the household chores.  The task of keeping the house clean and in order are in-charged to girls.  Also, a girl can be expected to look after the house when everybody is away.  They can also be asked to take care of their younger siblings.

3.           Girls, by nature, are more modest and well-behaved than boys.

Girls don’t sweat much than boys because their not as active as them.  Boys in their young childhood years, usually in their grade school years, love to play a lot making their bodies sweat and put on more dirt on their clothes.  This makes washing their clothes challenging.  Girls, on the other hand, are mostly modest.  They can stay in one place without feeling the need to run around and sweat much.  Girls are easier to discipline than boys.  There is this belief that girls can be easily raised compared to boys.

4.             Some adoptive parents believe that only biological children have the right to pass on their family names.

When an adoptive girl marries, she’ll use another family name and wouldn’t have the chance to pass it on.  Some adoptive couples would still want to give their family names to their real grandchildren.

Indeed, adopting a child gives couples the chance to choose what gender their adoptive child should have.  Some surveys shows that girls are more preferable than boys.  Well, every adoptive parent has their own set of beliefs and preferences.

After two decades handling bankruptcies, Taves says this case is a uniquely emotional one. The creditors — a group that includes the estimated 400 would-be adoptive families — kept the adoptions, not money, a priority.

“They’re really committed to helping children around the world. There’s some families in Canada that would like to give (those children) the love they need.”

Some other creditors also pledged to forgive their debts to allow the agency to start again under different leadership.

There was reportedly no sign at yesterday’s meeting of Susan Hayhow, Imagine’s executive director. She had been in Ethiopia, where the agency operates, when the bankruptcy became public July 13, but has returned home.

Questions about several expenses, such as two luxury vehicle leases and some rental properties, were raised by two of the agency’s board members before the bankruptcy filing. They also brought their concerns to Waterloo Regional police, whose fraud squad has launched a criminal investigation.

For many families, the emotional process of international adoption has cost many years and as much as $20,000.
