- Millions of couples deal with infertility and more are turning to science in the hope of growing their families. The latest U.S. statistics show that in 2021, in vitro fertilization resulted in the births of more than 86,000 or two percent of babies nationwide.
Amidst growing debate over IVF, a lesser-known option called embryo adoption is also gaining ground.
For ten years Rodney and Mary Leah Miller struggled to have a family.
"Attempt after attempt, negative pregnancy test after negative pregnancy test, you begin to wonder, will this ever happen for us," Mary Leah told CBN News.

Crazy to wrap my brain around how they're technically 10 years old
Yeah, same here. They could’ve been born 10 yrs. ago. The crazy thing is, is that it changed their path of where they would’ve been and the spouse that they should’ve had but will never have bc of fate . Like they’ll marry but will feel like they’re missing the love of their life that was meant for them if born 10 yrs. prior and their children. Playing God I suppose
@@terrishaw9171 There is no fate in a believers life. Everything happens according to God's purpose.
They are where they are supposed to be.
What’s crazy, too, is that every egg of a woman is as old as herself. In fact when a woman is pregnant with a girl, she always Carrie’s the eggs that would turn into their grandchildren one day…
@@rhondahart2416 no, they should have been born naturally 10 yrs. ago. Therefore, their fate and path is taken in a different direction
@@terrishaw9171they had no fate because they where created in a lab no one was ever actually pregnant. Those arnt babies sitting in there, in the freezer they don’t even look like anything it’s just cellls in a tube. A woman makes it a baby not sperm and eggs in a test tube.
I have to question, as a Christian, wouldn’t it make more sense to adopt children who already breathing and walking the Earth without parents? Morally, we need to ask why people are choosing to adopt frozen embryos, but not choosing to adopt infants and children without parents? Is it out of a selfish desire? Is it out of pride or wanting to give birth? Both of the children are not genetically yours so why not adopt children that are breathing and walking the earth? I have to say, Christian seem to give the unborn more attention than the born.
Some don’t adopt because of the weight and responsibility a person may feel if the child turns out unexpected due to genetics etc. also some like me have had trauma with adopting kids. Wouldn’t do it ever again.
Or people are allowed to want their own biological children. Stop judging if you’re a Christian
That’s a great thought to consider. Did you know there are multiple families waiting in line for each adoption eligible child in the US? However there are millions of frozen embryos in a kind of limbo that have a right to life too. IVF creates humans and leaves them on ice indefinitely or discards them like trash. Let’s celebrate that people like these in the video are moved to stand in to give the frozen embryos a chance to have a life instead of being destroyed or forever on ice.
How about promoting adopting children that are living outside of the eomb and desperately need parents.
@@ErA-el1je a friend of mine very wealthy couldn’t have have children. They adopted a boy from a couple that had 3 other children and couldn’t afford to have him. This kid is now an engineer. Has travel the country and countries. His adopted parents raised him with love and gave him the best education money could buy. He hit the jackpot with them. Makes me wonder how his siblings turned out. He’s now 22 .
Then you should adopt. Not as easy as you think and nothing wrong with people wanting their biological children

How about you mind your own business and YOU adopt?! Worry about yourself please.
@@carybethYou’re the problem.
Think of all of the embryos that are being discarded. Life begins at conception.
They fed them to all the starving children in the world?
😂
PLEASE, everybody who suggests adopting children:
where do you live? not all the world is USA. For example, in Europe, Australia there is no kids in line waiting to be adopted.
The only thing open are international adoptions, with minimum 4 year waitlist... and most of the times they do have parents.
I won't get more into this but please stop talking about what you don't know
How about adopting struggling children abandoned and in the foster care system, likely being trafficked and already with mental trauma because there is no one to stand up for them??? 😔
Have you try to adopt?
I know! This whole IVF stuff misdirected all these love and money couples have to give to children.
Mostly are teenagers. Just so you know.
Then you should adopt nothing wrong with wanting your own biological children and not as easy as it sounds
If life starts at birth, these embryos also need to be adopted because they are human beings
Anyone better do a dna test before starting a family!
Sigh, I’d rather adopt the kids already out and waiting for a loving home.
I think that embryo adoption is a great option for Christians. They are saving these children's life.
Amen😭😭😭
I see a lot of people discussing adopting born children instead of pre born children in the frozen embryonic state. I want to share a different perspective for everyone who is thinking this out:
There are multiple families waiting in line for each adoption eligible child in the US. So even if you desired to adopt a born child, you may never be selected due to the great multitude stepping in to adopt.
Foster care is also a great need for Christian families to step in the gap and help displaced children and youth. But the majority of these kids aren’t eligible for adoption. And that’s a good thing, because the goal of foster care is to reunite families. So those with a heart to adopt are not typically the best fit for fostering.
The sad reality is there are millions of frozen embryos in a kind of limbo that have a right to life too. IVF creates humans and leaves them on ice indefinitely or discards them like trash. It’s not the easy way to adopt or a way to “play biological parent”. So instead of saying “whatabout”, let’s celebrate that people like these in the video are moved to stand in to give the frozen embryos a chance to have a life instead of being destroyed or forever on ice.
Everybody has a different calling and path to walk. Embryos being adopted is reason to celebrate as a Christian!
God bless this lovely couple.
Thank you for covering snowflakes! Please cover how PGT (genetic testing) is the largest barrier to ethical IVF.
It is not common knowledge that embryos tested as abnormal are ineligible for programs such as snowflakes even though PGT is often unreliably inaccurate. Also please cover how the average time spent to transfer a donated embryo into the adoptive mother is only a few months (at snowflakes).
Half the folks in these comments are batcrapcrazy
Congratulations! Others need to mind their own business ❤
Keep Congress out of our.....yeah.
Must be expensive
I’m glad you guys have money for this
These people in the comments are so judgemental. If you had infertility, you would go this route.
It is lovely that this couple was able to be blessed with children through IVF. If this same ending could be repeated for all the other frozen children (that’s what they are in God’s eyes) then maybe we might be able to excuse this practice at least up to the present time. But we can’t. So, going forward it would be best to focus on getting the other “frozens” adopted and then stopping IVF. The fact it results in the destruction of some innocent human life is all the Christian needs to understand in order to realize this practice really isn’t of God.
I am concerned about the 100% of science and not even 5% of nature and the clear unequal division based on what should be considered a natural process selection-
Man should’ve never attempted to play “god” here. That is just my opinion. 😞
Absolutely amazing!! This gives me joy for this couple and all the couples who are able to achieve having children! 😮😊❤
Shalom
I wonder if man made babies feel the same as us 🤔
...
Of course they do! They are made in God’s image just as much as we are and God knit them together in the womb just the same!
No man can create life.
@@Esperandoonoivo amen!
You cannot form a baby, only God can!
Oh no this ain’t it. I’d be fukd up in the head as the child.
So if the child is not made naturally, does it still have a soul?
Yes, of course!
I believe it is like a seed hold in the fridge, the moment embryo is in body of women it can receive soul.
Yes, if they didn’t have a soul they wouldn’t be here. Good question and hard to fathom
Of course, they are human
What in the world?!?
Hopefully are the babies healthy ??!! pfff
I have heard frozen embryos have a higher chance in having cancer.
Which had been frozen for 10 years.......right there says why it's immoral
How were those embryos made? It was lab fertilizer?
it's in the name: "in vitro fertilization" means in the lab a sperm cell is injected into an egg cell to fertilize it.
@@enngee2339 thx
This is so unnatural!! If people can’t have children just adopt kids who are in need of parents. Stop playing God !
The Bible has an answer for when women are barren, take an additional wife, exodus 21:10
Incredibly inappropriate and a misuse of scripture!
@@thywordhidden how is that a misuse of scripture? God gave Jacob 4 wives.
@@ryanehlis426 God never intended marriage to be like that. Nowhere in the bible is having multiple wives painted as a good thing. There is always jealousy nd backstabbing involved. Not exactly a happy family life.
There's no plural marriages anymore. That was done for the sake of carrying on the name of the father.
Didn't God say one husband and one wife? Hezekiah abided by the word of the Lord, other kings like David and Solomon did not and look at their lives. How about Hannah and the mess of her husband bringing another woman into their marriage? And also you are assuming like many ignorant people that it's just the woman's problem.
We live in modern times and have science to tell us that men are a problem also.
@@ryanehlis426 context is important! Just because the patriarchs did things, doesn’t mean God approved. It is also insensitive to tell mothers not able to conceive that their husband should find someone else outside their marriage covenant.
