Why their obsession with a second biological baby when there are so many children waiting for loving homes????

[brii]

I don't think they should be criticized for wanting a biological baby... that's unfair.

I have misgivings about the whole surrogate/in vitro procedures.

There are many babies already here who need good homes.

Those embryos they have frozen are lives waiting to be born but may never be implanted. I think many people who believe life begins at creation do not realize that lives are sitting in a freezer all because some parents desperately want to have their own children rather than adopt. They fertilize numerous eggs (creating lives) never to be born. You play with nature you get burned.

That is why the Catholic Church is against surrogates...

I think it is somewhat icky...some people actually determine whether it is a boy or girl before implanting.

I would rather see doctors work on other projects.

ITA. Why shouldn't they have a biological child if it's possible? It's hypocritical for others with bio children to insist THEY should adopt.

Because it is unnatural...as a Catholic I know it is immoral...and it's selfish, IMO.

Every child i know who is an only child says that it is the very best all around. They should be happy with the child they have. some of us could not even have one.

Wow

I thought they only had 2 or 3 eggs left. Bill is a much more ""hands on"" parent than she is & I don't think she has any interest in adopting.

After they decide they have enough children then what happens to the remaining embryos? Are they just disposed of? That would be the same (IMO) as getting an abortion - maybe 2 or 3 or 4 depending on how many they have to dispose of.
