The couple was hesitant to consider a frozen embryo as an option but were introduced to the idea by Tina’s father. “I was like, ‘Well, that’s nice, Dad, but we’re not interested. We’re knee-deep in foster care right now. I kind of blew it off. I had no interest in it.” Tina recalled, sharing the thought had somehow resonated with her. “It was playing in my mind over and over and over,” she said. Luckily, when she shared her thoughts with Benjamin, he told her he’d been thinking about it too.
As the pair drove home, Tine thoroughly researched the option of giving birth to a frozen embryo, noting that the National Embryo Donation Center was in Knoxville and could perform the scary yet thrilling procedure. Several weeks passed before the couple officially decided to “submit an application for embryo adoption,” Tina said. “On a whim, we filled out an application and submitted it that night.”
