Unused embryos

[marimmacula]

Hello dear ladies,
What advice would you give to a couple who had a child via ivf treatment but do not know what to do with the balance of embryos that have been frozen?
Should they go again for another child? or discard the frozen embryos? They want to do the right thing.
I think that they are scared to go again. They are thankful for the healthy baby that God bless them with and don't want to be "greedy" as the wife put it.
Thanks for your imput.

Wow. Don't think I have any ideas concerning this. This is one tough question. The only thing I could suggest is lots of prayer. I will pray for God to give them wisdom to do the right thing.

It is a hard question only because of the morality first of all in harvesting eggs to use for ivf in my opinion. I think we should first pray over whether or not we should do that in the first place, to prevent situations like this. BUT since we are past that point and now there are precious little babies just waiting to be born, you have to do something about it. And you said she was making her decision based on fear. As a child of God you should never ever let the devil use FEAR to guide you. If you did, he would win every battle. Fear has torments and God did NOT give us the spirit of fear but of peach, love and a sound mind. These little babies are gifts from God. And he wouldn't have created them if he did not have a purpose for them. I believe they should pray and ask God to give them the strength to birth these babies. And not think that the baby they have now is any result of something they did, but rather a great work done by God, not to be taken lightly or underestimated. And if thier child now is a blessing how much more would these be? Should they suffer because they now are seen as a nuisance or just something to be "discarded". This really gets me stirred up. Those are precious little babies who God Knows their end from their beginning. Who are we to have a say in it anyway? arghhh! People don't even seem to be concerned at all to be playing with such things as life itself. And as for being Greedy, God has PLENTY of blessings to go around, he isn't gonna run out anytime soon! If he wants to bless you, and gives a child, you better just accpet that blessing with joy and be thankful. We are so prideful these days and so concerned about our own wants/desires we don't even consider God's will. I'm on a rant I know, but a child's life is so very precious. Let us never ever forget that.

I'm not done just yet. I see it as abortion. An end to a babies life at your hand is nothing short of murder I believe. And I believe life begins at conception. I know this will offend, but that is my stand and I'm shocked no one else has responded yet. I know it won't be popular, but I have to say what I believe Jesus would want me to say. If I can help save a life in any way, I must do that. I don't believe it is necessarily wrong to do IVF however I believe we should be more responsible with it. you should NEVER fertilize an egg and allow life to be created if you are not prepared to take care of it. You should be responsible for the life you are entrusted with. it is a gift of God. We have 10 children. 8 are adopted brother/sisters that we got through fostering. If the birth family had taken care of them they wouldn't have suffered the things they did, and we also would not have the blessing of having them as our children. God gives us the strength to take care of these precious children and each one has been a gift to our family. Some have came at birth others later in life, but each one, a gift. NOT to be taken lightly. Please talk to them and pray for them that they will recognize the great gift God has entrusted them with. These lives have a purpose. If I could I would take them myself to keep them from being aborted. I will pray for these babies they find a womb hospitable to their tiny little bodies and spirit. We close our home, our bodies, we shut babies out, cause we dont' want them. And it makes me just cry in my soul for them. Is this family in the church? They need good Godly council right away. We can't be swayed by the world when it comes to things like this, we have to look to God for our answers and do what is right even if it may seem hard.
