I just did a persuasive speech on this on Thursday and saw this article in an email today. Thought I would share it.
It is about embryo adoption. I'm so glad that there's a program like this out there--too often these children are overlooked or treated as if they are not alive...

Let me know what you guys think. No debates please.

I saw an article referring to Snowflakes some time ago. If I remember correctly, the article featured a family whose children came from frozen embryos rescued from New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina.
I have adopted and foster family members, and some people who've been important to me are adopted. I think it is awesome (forgive the much abused descriptor but it's accurate here). I wish more people would adopt kids. I could actually get a real good rant going on the topic, but I'll exhibit self-restraint and limit it to my sincerest wish that more people would adopt kids, no matter how their existence started.
