I've seen the websites..you can even choose by physical characteristics, then you get a homestudy and when approved, you arrange for the medical part. Some couples who aren't infertile are adopting snowflakes.
Would you adopt a snowflake?

Oh, I get it - so they do IVF and instead of only one egg fertilizing, they get half a dozen?
Yes, this is a lovely idea (although I agree w/ the Doc about the name being icky) because apparently the original parents are too big of dumbasses to think about what the friggin' consequences might be.
If that's not the deal, let me know, but shit, the parents should know that when they go into it.
