Hi Hon,
I am not on this board very much anymore, so page me on facebook if this is ANY interest to you, but I see you are interested in Embryo adoption.
I just wanted to share an idea with you that may or may not be for you. Have you considered doing double donor IVF in Czech Republic? This is one of the many things I looked into, and its amazingly reasonable price wise, and you are not getting an IVF cycle's leftovers.
They have frozen embryos banked from double donors, which means no synching up- they just transfer when you are ready. I remember the cost to be VERY low. Frankly, if you are adventurous enough, you could travel on your own to do it. Otherwise, you and hubby can have a little vaycay. They are used to international patients and will work with you easily. I've been to the clinic personally, and had a very good feeling about it.
I **THINK** the double donor frozen embryo transfer was in the ballpark of $2000+$300 meds. This is off the top of my head.
There are a lot of boards with people who are actively doing this, many from the UK, so there is a lot of support.
Just thought I would give you something to think about.
Sending a Double Portion on hugs!
XO
