These people are super religious and believe that the frozen embryos are children. I think there is a difference between “adopting” an embryo and adopting a child in need from foster care or an orphanage.
Here are the shocking details this video left out: The mom added, "It didn't really matter to us if they're considered perfect or not." The 34-year-old said they were told that the twins' biological father had died from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. "There's a possibility that it could be a genetic disorder that they may or may not have," Rachel said. "But we didn't care." “The phrase "adoption" has become wrapped up in a larger cultural debate, used predominantly by those in faith-based communities with conservative leanings. The National Embryo Donation Center is a private, Christian-led organization. It requires recipients to pass a "family assessment" and says "couples must be a genetic male and a genetic female married for a minimum of 3 years." The center says it has helped with the births of over 1,260 infants from donated embryos.” "In a sense, they're our oldest children, even though they're our smallest children," Ridgeway added. The Ridgeways have four other children, ages 8, 6, 3 and almost 2, none conceived via IVF or donors.
Yes, the process of creating embryos is pretty expensive, so when couples do it, they usually to create more than they think they will actually need, so they only have to pay for the process once. Once they are done having a family, they will either have the extra embryos destroyed, or they will give them up for adoption.
The most unwanted children? Most unwanted children do not get the opportunity to be frozen and brought back later for a second shot. If they were "unwanted" they would have never been frozen.
As a former foster child who was adopted at age 8, I fully agree. My parents wanted to adopt me when I was 7 but couldn't because my birth father didn't want to give up his parental rights and was under the delusion he, my abuser, eould get me back. My parents were foster parents and helped a lot of children. I've seen truly unwanted kids in the foster system and it's heart breaking. I was blessed to have found my forever home after only two years and three great foster families. Not so many kids are that lucky and even get abused by their foster parents. I understand if a couple wants to have their own baby amd adopt as well, but to overlook kids and babies already born is selfish. I grew up in a Christian home where we believed the teachings of Jesus, to help the needy and down trodden and the children. My parents focused on helping the kids already born like Jesus said. Jewish religion which Christianity has roots in, believes life starts after the first breath. Jesus, a Jew, said to take care of those already born. A lot of so called Christians don't even know the history of Christianity and make stuff up, which gives Christians like my parents and I a bad name. I would love to have at least one baby of my own, to expire pregnancy, but I also would love to adopt if it wasn't so expensive.

Stuff like this is so conflicting. I am happy for the new parents and that the babies lived. Yet it is hard to ignore that its borderline unnatural. How is thr use of science okay when it comes to forcing birth, but not okay to prevent birth. Makes no sense to me.

Yes, cryogenic, except they are frozen while alive, then the embryos warmed up years later. Freezing someone who is dead, no evidence that they will ever be able to somehow be brought back to life (although people still pay to be frozen after death, in the hopes that they will be able to be brought back to life in the future.)
It isn’t always 30 years later. Most parents who do IVF have to freeze their embryos at least a month before being able to transfer one. IVF doesn’t always work (50% success rate), so couples usually have to try a few times before becoming pregnant.
I just looked it up- the embryos were created by a man in his 50’s and a 34 year old egg donor- the man later died of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). The couple here knew about this, and even though they already have 4 children, they “didn’t care that they weren’t perfect” and carried through with the embryo transfer. The Mayo Clinic says that ALS is heriditery and that “In most people with familial ALS , their children have a 50-50 chance of developing the disease” This is so unnecessary and cruel to purposefully do this to children. Regardless of if you’re religious or not, this is such a terrible thing to do.
Why does that incite pity from you? You’re talking about “babies” the size of a grain of salt either 3 or 5 days past fertilization. They aren’t cutting a 35 week baby from someone’s uterus and putting it into an alien-like pod for 30 years.
An Appleseed has the potential to become an apple tree which has the potential to produce apples. The eggs we eat had the potential to become sentient chickens, but they are not. So, does the human embryo not also just have the POTENTIAL to become a human being?
Let's look at this again in 25 years. Are they still alive? Are they in prison? Has anyone ever thought about long term effects? And maybe natural selection decided that it this person should not reproduce.
Stop playing God... But when you get cancer or diabetes, you fricking rush to the doctors to play god and cure you of a disease that is meant to kill you.
Calling people names such as racist based on skin color is racist and calling children racist is asinine. Babies do not develop the required mindset to be racist. Your comment is therefore asinine and racist.

Heck, he even killed hundreds at one time at a wedding with a drone strike. Democrats are the cult of death, my friend. You may point out Dubya, but he is a neo-con, far from a real conservative.

This is not adoption.

I didn’t know you could adopt embryos

I wonder if the people born from donor embryos feel "adopted" 🤔
@@thelogicaldanger I think donations is the better route as you can help others
Many layers to this. I hope they all live long and healthy lives.

How about looking at children who were already born😂😂

The only people who think science shouldn’t be used to prevent births are uneducated conservatives.
And if they were looking for overlooked children, why not go for children that are already born?
Most women want to experience pregnancy and childbirth.
