Would you donate embryos to a sibling?

Question

OK so this is something I have wondered if I'd be able to do or not. I had <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> because we couldn't conceive. Pregnancy was really hard and so is having a baby. I can't realistically see us coping with another baby one day.

But, we have two embryos frozen. I just don't know what to do about them. I feel I should give them a chance at life. They are potentially siblings for my daughter.

I have a brother who is struggling to have children. They have had 3 miscarriages so far (4 babies as one was twins.) Would any of you consider offering to donate your embryos to them? Is that super weird? Would it feel like they were raising your child/ren?

Thoughts?

Answer

Considering your donating to your brother might not be a good idea since you have the same dna

Answer

I think it's an incredibly sweet idea, but there is so much to consider. It's technically your baby through DNA, but it would be your brothers child, Seymour kids cousin...not sibling. Would you be able to separate that emotionally?

Answer

I would absolutely do it in a heartbeat. 
But I would have to be very clear that the child would be theirs not mine. I would just be an auntie.

Answer

Maybe if they were already embryos. But I was very clear from the get go that if we didn’t conceive naturally, we just wouldn’t have biological kids. I never had any desire to go through all the hormone crap to do IVF. I guess if I did all that and they were sitting there, I wouldn’t care 🤷🏼‍♀️
