Janae and Clayton had a deeply emotional embryo adoption journey filled with cycles of loss, followed by renewed hope. Along the way, Janae kept an open mind on everything, including choosing embryo adoption (which initially struck her as weird) in the first place, switching from an open to a closed adoption, and even changing her mind on whether to try a third embryo transfer. As she explains in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast, she’s glad she did- because it all led to the birth of her second son.

But shared biology and genetics aren’t the only traits that make someone a ‘real dad.’ NEDC dad Derek King has worked through those awkward feelings. He has a ton of helpful insights for other EA dads to kick off Season 4 of The Embryo Adoption Podcast.
