I'm going to do it. I came to this conclusion at the grocery store.
I slept on it. Without my children. In a hotel.
If you were going to offer someone your embryos would you email her? Call her? Set up a coffee date?
I know once I say it I can't take it back.
I know if she says no, they sit on ice. I'm not ready to give them over to the world in general. But this woman who could be my friend? I want her to have the family photos she wants. I like the idea of being a part of that.

Updated: Done. Now I wait. The irony that I came to this decision in the frozen foods aisle is not lost on me.

I think it's a beautiful and generous gift. I'm glad you made a decision and feel good about offering this opportunity to a woman with whom you felt a connection.
