In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process that helps those people who suffer from infertility. In this process, the egg produced by the ovaries of the woman is taken out and is then fertilized with the man’s sperm in a separate laboratory which is specially made for the IVF process. When the egg gets fertilized, then the embryo is then transferred to the womb of the woman where the embryo develops day by day. Fellowship in infertility is given to students who want to learn more about this field. It is a one-year course in which proper training is given, especially for beginners.
Having a baby is a boon for parents but some face a lot of difficulties and get infertile to produce a baby. Science has developed and researched a lot and brought solutions for almost any problem. IVF is also one of them as it gives people a chance to become parents after facing a lot of ups and downs in their life. Despite all this, if a baby is done by IVF, it does not necessarily mean the baby will look the same as its parents. It is not necessary for any baby if done normally, or by any process to look similar to any of the parents. But yes, some of the other things like any body part, or some of the habits of the baby and parents, may match.
Intended parents must understand certain things as IVF babies don’t need to look similar to their parents. As the egg might be taken from a donor the baby may not look similar to its intended mother.
•The genetics
The donor egg has no similarity with the genes of the intended mother. So this might not be possible for the baby to look like the intended mother. But there might be a lot of possibility for that particular baby to resemble the father exactly because the sperm used in the IVF process is of the father. That is why the baby has the same genes as the father.
But this is to be understood by every couple, that in the case of the natural birth process too, the baby might not be similar to both, or either of the parents. Similarly, taking the help of the donor egg doesn’t mean that the baby will resemble any of the parents but due to the genes of the father, the baby can be a bit similar to him.
This is a desire of every parent to have a baby who resembles them. Who has habits as per theirs, but this is the fact that only similar genes do not make a family. Many people adopt babies and raise them as their children. In this case, also, the adopted child has their parents with whom they live their life. So, this should not be a concern, if the baby resembles their parents or not, rather, having a baby whom the parents raise, is enough to feel like parenthood.
•Similar habits
The baby doesn’t need to resemble their parents physically. But the habits might match such as facial expressions, cracking jokes and ideas, particular interests and ideas, and many more. It is necessary that with whom the baby is living. As the intended parents and the baby, despite no similar genes. Can follow the trails and paths of their parents just by living and growing up with them.
•Making bond
Bonding is a major aspect. It doesn’t matter where the baby is from but the bond.
must be strong between the baby and its intended parents. Because babies learn things by visualizing everything as of their parents and surroundings. So the bond is a must.
Conclusion
IVF is a very advanced process that has been brought by researchers. Which can make every single parent feel like parenthood by having the presence of the baby all around. IVF fellowship in India is given to the students so that they can be trained to become a doctor. So there are several other processes like surrogacy too with which people can become parents. So be it any process, resembling babies should not be a concern. Rather the presence of the baby is enough for every parent.
