I am an African American female looking for donated embryos

in Infertility
Hello ladies! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Melondy. I have been married for over 12 years to my wonderful husband named Eric. My husband and I are both in our middle 40's and have come to the conclusion that having a biological child at this point in our life is pretty much over. My husband and I do not have any children between the two of us. 
Our journey began just a little over 10 years ago when we initially started trying to conceive a baby. Through out the years I have completed countless fertility treatment cycles and unfortunately none of them resulted in a take home baby. I was diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder called Lupus Anticoagulant and I was also told that I was insulin resistant. However, my Dr stated that those medical conditions were not the root cause of my infertility so I was labeled as unexplained infertile. Over the course of many years we actively tried to conceive on our own using various holistic treatment options that consisted of supplements, herbs, specialized diets and acupuncture. Unfortunately the holistic treatment options did not help us either.
I must say that infertility has made my marriage much stronger and we are much more united now than ever before. We would love nothing more than to make this dream of becoming parents a reality. Presently, we are in a great position to offer much love, happiness and guidance to a little baby. We would be honored and blessed if someone gifted us with such a wonderful treasure of donor embryos. If you are interested in helping us complete our little family we would love for you to reach out to us via our email address. Melondy4123@sbcglobal.net
Thank you so very much!!!

    Hey! I would definitely try posting this under the third party reproduction if you haven't done so already :) Also, have you looked up California Conceptions? They have a donated embryo 3 try or 100% refund guarantee for like $12,500! I believe it's like a 90% success rate too.

    I strongly suggest California Conceptions because even through finding embryos privately you will end up paying costs per try and there's no guarantee. California Conceptions isn't an adoption agency. They literally make embryos via demand and their success rates are so high because they are using the best egg and sperm donors not people who are going through IVF. If that makes sense. There are some ethical debates with them---but I personally see no issue with them as they don't bank embryos. What they do is get a couple's criteria, and wait till another 2-3 couples have the same criteria and all the couples share the same egg and sperm donor.

    After some thought, I would contact a center that does a lot of donor eggs. Many people have leftovers and donate them. If you called a center, (like Shady Grove in Rockville, MD), you could ask who people donate to. That way you could be assured of a young lady's egg, with a higher success rate.
