I have 3 kids conceived by IVF as well. We donated the leftover fertilized eggs and a couple has now a 12 year old daughter. I have seen the pictures and my 3 kids know that they have a biological sister out there. It will be interesting to see if she will contact us once and if she finds out (We allowed for the option to contact us)

Cool! We're still trying to figure out what to do with our last embryo. We've been told that they have too many embryos for science in California, and they can't cross state lines, so they are throwing away the donations.

We're still not sure if we want to try and use it ourselves (although the time for that is quickly going away) or give it to someone we know who wants it, or giving it to a stranger. Giving it to a stranger just feels odd to me, but at the same time I'd really like to see the results of nature vs nurture...

I recommend the documentary "Three Identical Strangers". Stay for the surprise ending.
