bring it on

for the past 48 hours i have not been a fun gal to be around. more like a fun-gal infection.

reason for my unsettled/snarky way?

i am tired of you smug people.

not the people reading this post, IF anyone here is against us donating embryos, you have respected our decision and said nothing. you folk are angels, and might want to consider making extra money by holding sensitivity classes for the following people.

SMUG people who have been blessed with children as a result of embryo adoption, but want you to know they felt obligated to "rescue" the frozen babies.

ah yes, frozen embryos are apparently a "problem".

and here was i so stupidly thinking they could be a SOLUTION for some couple battling infertility.

no, apparently that is giving myself too much credit and not atoning enough for freezing embryos, which reduces their chance at life. and by not transferring them into my womb, i am, yes that’s correct, abandoning them.

i have several things to say to you ever so caring people. i will limit my comments to a few and not have any swear words.

1) i’ve done the guilt, thank you. God is the only person i need to answer to, and He certainly showed more compassion that you have.

2) maybe you don’t see creating a child and putting it into a family to be loved as a wonderful thing, but i do. although, NOT your family, thanks.

3) i thought we were all working toward the same goal, to find these embryos a good and loving home. apparently i missed the middle step: to make the genetic parents feel even worse and to promote yourselves as the samaritans coming to solve the problem i, in my careless folly, created. (insert your own diatribe, i stopped listening a while ago.)

4) keep up with this attitude and there will be no more "problem" of frozen emrbyos looking for homes. if couples learn they will be treated with such condemnation for an action they cannot change, they will be donating those embryos to science faster than you can say hypocrite.
