I love your banter! Where else can I hear about infertility, ice skating and many other random topics. Your podcast is interesting and uplifting. Keep them coming.
It is wonderful to know things are moving along with your surrogacy journey. I am sorry for any negative reaction to Tara's Allure piece; I agree that misconceptions and narrowmindedness surrounding surrogacy and the medical necessity of surgical abortion is infuriating.
Agreed. The baby comes into a home....all it needs is love....and stability and family that gives them guidance and loving environment. Down the road the child may wonder about their biological roots.....I have friends that were adopted ...and they consider the adopted parents....THEIR parents. Not the biological ones....... Adopted parents were there with sickness ....soccer practice.....first day of school.....etc..... the good times and bad.....watched them grow up and were by their side for everything. THAT is what being a parent is. I had an absentee father. Yep he was biologically my Dad...but he was never ever home. Wasn't there for any rites of passage as a child.....never cared about us kids at home..... and I often wondered if I was adopted....it might have been better to have someone there who really wanted me. I am for adoption....providing a loving home for a child.....that otherwise would wind up like me. Thank you for being an adoptive parent and I wish you all the happiness in the world. Your child is very lucky indeed.
The portion about past donation and how it might effect new relationships was very interesting. It should be worth noting, that in the event of anonymous donation, there isn't even a guarantee a child did ultimately result from the process and the donor wouldn't necessarily know either way.
I just found out my first FET Day 5, euploid, 5AA just failed 😭 my uterus and labs were all great, our embaby was great, whyyyyyy???? this is so cruel and hard 🙏🏻
Im so sorry. It just feels so cruel. It doesnt make sense after you work so hard for that embryo and its graded well and tested and then it doesnt work. It feels devastating
@@TaraLipinskiUnexpecting so true - I mean I know the science just isn’t there to guarantee everything and Euploid is only chromosomally normal and not genetically normal and mitochondria to finish dethawing and implant is different than both embryonic grading and Euploid status it’s just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh everything we could check was good you know - all the the freaking boxes tic’d - and yet here I am 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Everytime I think I’m finally drifting back to the shore … here comes another rip current another wave another storm
Todd literally knows nothing about skating! This is when you know he loves you just for you and knows nothing about your past life or accomplishments. Yes you need to talk about skating !!
I am all for surrogacy. However I think there is different situations to take into consideration. You have a biological child that will grow up and know where she comes from. You are her parents. And she will know the lady who carried her. I think growing up and having two parents a different biological mother and a surrogate mother might be more confusing for the child. I am not saying it is wrong. I am saying implicate are not well studied yet. I am just considering the identity processing that goes on in a developing mind of a growing child.
Here to rep Sugar Land. Skating rink is still there, but love watching skaters at the Galleria! Don’t think Sharpstown is still around. Love you guys.

It really doesn’t matter how they get here. All that matters is that you have your baby! Speaking as an adoptive parent.

I do believe that going through IVF or any type of fertility treatment makes you more open minded.
