What about industry guidelines prevents a woman from egg adoption, when embryo adoption exists?
There's just something about the bar/distinction I don't understand. If a woman freezes her eggs, like many do, and doesn't use them all, why can't someone utilize them? I am a Christian, who is currently unable to conceive but I can get pregnant. My significant other wants a genetically related child and I simply don't care if I get to carry.
I just started doing research on this and it seems like a hard "no". What is the reason? Is it because the egg "donor" industry is so lucrative? Its an important distinction to me to save an egg that would otherwise be destroyed, instead of someone going through a procedure to procure it specifically.
Please be respectful of my religious beliefs, I understand eggs are lost to menstruation every month, hundreds in a lifetime. I understand all of that.
The other options, embryo adoption, IVF arent possible/doable.
Is this something anyone has seen arranged privately?
