Danni, that's right. That was primarily why I decided against donating them to another couple. Perhaps if the donation could have remained anonymous, that may have been another story (important health information excepted of course).

As I said, it's not about my feeling toward the embryos as "children" of mine, but more my concern about how any child resulting from the donation would feel about the situation. I certainly would not consider myself the child's mother ... that is the role of the person who carries and gives birth to the baby and/or brings them up.
