How sad is this????

I came across an article on Fox News that told about a couple who had in Vitro fertilization done in order to get pregnant. This couple was fortunate to have had the procedure work. This mother and father have bonded with this baby-- felt him move, hiccup, kick, etc. Apparently this couple who went to such lengths to conceive this baby was told that the infertility clinic implanted the wrong embryo inside of her. How devastating is that! This lady is about to give birth by c-section in about two weeks. Can you even imagine going through the entire pregnancy and bonding with this baby just to have to give it up? What makes a parent a real parent anyway? Is it just sharing the same genetics? I don't think so.
I can empathize with this couple because my husband and I also had a difficult time getting pregnant. We have been blessed to have two children biologically. We have also been blessed to have a child through adoption. She is no less our child just because we didn't give birth to her. Her birth parents are not the ones who have gone through life with her-- taking care of her. Just because they share the same genes, doesn't make them her parents.
I can also empathize with the couple who are asking for this child because it was their embryo that was implanted into this woman. It would be difficult to know that your child (genetically) was with someone else. However, this baby has already bonded with the parents who are giving birth to him in a couple of weeks. In my opinion, this couple should have the in Vitro procedure and try to have a baby together that has not already bonded to another set of parents. Check out the article at http://www.foxnews.com/. Look under the Health section. The title is Mom Implanted With Wrong Embryo to Give Up Baby.
