  I missed it and although I wanted to watch it, it might be best that I missed it, being in the midst of an IVF cycle right now.

  I agree Cute!  I don't know if I will get to IVF, but I still wish I could un-watch that episode.

  Did they say what area the clinic was in?  I know they can't say the name of the clinic but I'm curious.  Was it in Ohio?  Michigan?  One article I read online mentioned talking to the biological mother in Troy, MI.  That's the city where my old RE is. 

  Just wondering.

  It took 44 cycles, just over 3 years, 6 failed IUI's in MI, and 1 round of IVF at CCRM to get our BFP!

  Google says Ohio, but I'm not positive. I don't think they mentioned it on the show.

  Ooh, thanks for the link.  Here's a quote from that article:

   

  "The Savages won't reveal the name of the fertility clinic, saying only that it's not in Ohio. They have hired attorneys who say they are working to make sure the clinic will accept full responsibility."

   

  Interesting, since the biological parents DO live in Troy, MI according to that article.  I wonder if it was a place in Michigan....And if so which one..............Too bad they can't say which place it was!

  Ha! Guess I should have READ the article.  That is very interesting.  I hope both couples got a sh*t-ton of money in their respective lawsuits.  They deserve every penny.  You can't put a price on that type of heartbreak.

  I watched it too.  It was awful!  Watching the dad hand over the baby made me cry.  I can't believe that the couple got monetary compensation and the documentary made it seem like that would completely remedy the situation.  I don't think that any amount of money could put a dent in trying to fix the situation.  I do have to give a lot of credit to the couple for being so strong and doing the "right" thing by not terminating the pregnancy.

  I caught the last few minutes of it. When DH caught a bit of what it was about he changed the channel. He's trying to be proactive to my emotional roller coaster these days.

  I feel so so badly for both families involved that they had to go through this. The good thing is the little boy has lots of people who love him!
