HELLO FRIENDS!
Welcome to
Beautiful Pieces of Us
We speak directly to the hearts of parents who are undecided on what to do with their frozen embryos and are struggling to move forward. This is a complicated, very personal decision with no right or wrong choice.
Our desire is to create a loving, supportive community, built on honesty and vulnerability, where we can be real about the difficult circumstances and outcomes surrounding frozen embryo options. Overall, our goal is to guide, support, encourage, empower, and equip you as you walk this complicated road. Over time, we intend to discuss all the options available to parents with leftover embryos as more couples are willing to share their experiences and knowledge with us.
