Thursday - Embryo, Embryo...!

We went to the Fertility Clinic on Thursday while my Daddy-in-law watched the ankle-biters; we had to discuss with a Counsellor, the possibility of donating our excess Frozen Embryos to another couple. Now, this has only just become legal in NZ; so it's all very NEW. The meeting went on for over 90 minutes!! We were asked to specify what kind of people we would like our embryos to go to; whether we'd like contact with any children that may result from the process; and so on...since we have about a Dozen excess embryos, we were told ours would be in demand, so it'll be interesting to see what develops!

Later, we went to Northlands shopping mall (a huge shopping centre), and I bought a discounted Dr.Who Toy; also bought a birthday present for our sis-in-law.

Yes, we would like contact with any children who eventuate...but not just with them; with the whole family. Of course, it's not our call to make - ultimately, it's up to the other couple - but, yes, we'd like to get to know them. :)
