  I didn't notice the new board, but thanks for pointing it out.

  However, I respectfuflly disagree with your second sentence in regards to embryo adoption. I personally do think that embryo adoption discussions belong here as a cross over topic between the 2 boards.  There are enough similiarities between some types of embryo adoption (those that require a homestudy) and domestic infant adoption that the discussions on this board apply to both situations.

  Embryo adoption is not commonplace (yet), but I think as awareness grows that this family building option exists, more will opt for this route to parenthood.

  How do others on this board feel?

  ETA:   Hmm. . Maybe I am the only one who views embryo adoption as being similar to DIA?  I just went over to the 3rd party board and there are 2 (I think) donor embryo posts over there.  I personally still think that reading and understanding DIA issues helps in donor embryo situations too. 

  TTC #1 for over 5 years - too many to count IF treatments (tried everything and anything), repeat miscarriages. Finally, Sticky Success!! B/G Twins arrived 2011.

  Clearly I don't know for sure, but I would guess orange's use of the term "better" = "you'll get more/better responses there." From the posts here about the subject, there were usually few responses or "I'm sending you a PM." If this will give a greater sense of community and a more active discussion, I'm all for it. It doesn't stop anyone from XPing here

  Dr. Loretta understood me correctly. I wasn't saying these posters weren't welcome here, but they are a very small group and don't always get many responses on this board. Now that there is a board that more specifically addresses some of their situation, they may be able to get more help. But, certainly we would be the place for home study questions.

  I will probably continue posting here for support throughout our embryo adoption (though it won't be for several months), but I'm glad to hear of this new board.
