We're starting the vetting process for adoption agencies. We are looking at embryo adoption vs other options. No IVF, and have tried IUI as well as natural remedies. We're still trying of course, but ready to pursue other options. Anyone have advice?

That's my IVF story. :(
You mean you used IVF and many embryos were killed to implant one? If so, I'm sorry. But that's what IVF has always been and in my opinion it is an abuse. I have nothing against you for using it, only against those that created it and push it.
We had a total of 10 embryos, and tried three times to transfer two each time, and out of all the six in total we transferred, only one stuck with us. He's a tremendous blessing. We had four remaining, but I couldn't donate them, because at the time the thought of someone else raising my babies was heartbreaking. So I let them be laid to rest. I've talked to God about it over the years and have been grieved by it. Believe me- it wasn't easy.
My head and heart are in different places now. I hate that it happened that way, but I love my son dearly.
Your son is certainly a blessing, don't get me wrong. I had a best friend who was an IVF baby and she is certainly one-of-a-kind. But I just wish that children weren't treated as commodities or "designer babies" or when random women are used as surrogates for gays or lazy celebrities to make babies for them.
I totally understand that.
