The Unique Perspective of an IVF Baby: Contemplating Carrying My Parents' Frozen Embryos
Michel Janse, a 26-year-old IVF baby, went viral on TikTok after sharing her thoughts on being an IVF baby and considering carrying her parents' frozen embryos. While her parents had kept her conception method a secret, Michel and her sister found it cool and never felt affected by it. However, Michel's TikTok video sparked controversy, with some calling it incest. The viral video led to conversations with her parents, who have now decided to put their remaining embryos up for adoption through embryo-adoption agencies. Michel hopes for an open adoption to meet her other siblings and believes that discussing IVF and infertility is important to break the taboo surrounding the topic.
