You're right, there are many different angles to consider. A child has been removed from their family of origin and placed with a couple who has no genetic ties to their child. Someone made money off of the adoption of our embryos (I think about $15,000) and we were left to live through four years of hell with the couple who adopted them. I started researching adoption issues when our relationship started heading south and was shocked to learn how complicated, selfish, and money hungry the adoption industry is. I wish we had better educated ourselves about the entire process. We went into it thinking we were helping another infertile couple - they went into it believing they were rescuing our embryos from their frozen orphanage. Yes, there are many angles to consider. There's a little boy out there, not just a mass of cells...whom we will probably never have contact with again. It kills me everyday. Sad stuff all the way around!
