kpeneapolis on "Returning unused embies to donator?"

We donated embies to a couple who wanted a 'big family". They adopted our 4 embies/two straws and had one child with one straw. They were supposed to cycle again next month and the mother got cold feet and backed out of the cycle. She then went on to say that they have decided that it just does not feel right and that she does not want to use the other two embies. The child they had develped some small health issues, inclusive of a ton of food allergies which she found difficult to manage. The clinic called us and said they are sending on info on what will happen next, the embies are coming back to our ownership. I have never heard of such a thing, never. From what the paperwork looks like, they accepted full responisbility of the embies upon adopting them. I am 45 and had a ton of complications with my last two IVF pregnancies, and doubted that i would even become pg with the embies we had on ice, which is why we donated in the first place.
Has any donor or recipient ever delt with this?
I am a little in shock right now.
