Wow 27 year by now she would have finish college

Totally awesome and amazing

amazing to have a baby being embryo two decades ago

ResistandPersi1 What they didn't mention was how many embryos died while producing this one baby. Now don't get me wrong, I am fully supportive of IVF and so on. But I wonder how pro lifers can support it when they believe every embryo is already a person and 5 are sacrificed so one can live?

Eh

life
