Hooray for technology! This was 24 years ago today. We would not have sweet twins on the way or an angel in heaven watching over us if it weren't for science, modern technology, and Embryo Donation programs. We are eternally grateful to the couple who donated to us. There just aren't good enough words. They underwent the stresses and pains of IVF, completed their family, and selflessly donated their remaining embryos to a heartbroken couple who had almost given up. We were the beyond lucky anonymous recipients of their group of precious snowflakes!
