Hello, thank you for allowing me a space to work through my feelings and make informed decisions. I have a 12 year old son who was conceived naturally. I have been divorced years and have never fallen in love again. I enjoy my life, but always wanted more children and my career finally took off. I can now afford it and have so much time and energy, but am almost 42 and never did egg retrieval when I was younger. I am wanting to adopt or see if I can adopt embryo and become pregnant with IVF. I would need both donor egg and donor sperm (or an embryo). I am learning a lot about adopted or donor conceived children and understanding the needs of a child. What I know is most important is to be upfront in early age and try for open adoption as closed can be extremely harmful to the child. Can anyone recommend any agency or clinic? I am open to international as well. I am trying to find an embryo donor who is open as donor conceived children really need to know their medical history and genetics. I understand some fertility clinics can be "predatory" and was curious if anyone can recommend. Thank you. I plan to research MUCH more and am reading constantly. This is just the beginning for me.

EDUT 2: After 5 calls, hours on hold and several "don't worry, good news, the tickets are on the way", SeatGeek is processing my refund. I believe the seller was able to sell tickets for higher price on another scalping site and SeatGeek allowed them to string me along for weeks until hours before show, admitting no tickets are on the way. If I had made car rental, hotel, I would have been out that money, too. You have been warned 😞

EDIT: I did want to point out that when I called SeatGeek, they said their "licensed broker" is processing so many orders that I was in line. This sounded like scalping is being done by a huge, organized business, processing thousands of orders. It is not some ma and pa seller trying to make a quick buck selling tickets here and there, but a huge business with workers pulling in long hours and some billionaire at top. I don't want to support any of that.

I am so sad. It has been a hard year. I was looking forward to seeing my favorite band, The Strokes today at Red Rocks. I named my son after Julian and he was going with me. I purchased 2 5th row tickets on SeatGeek. The tickets never came. I spent all day on phone yesterday and am on hold with SeatGeek now. The event begins in hours. We have no tickets, I am crying and SeatGeek won't issue refund, telling me to keep waiting, and I have no money to get new tickets. The event starts at 6pm, I am in tears. I have been completely scammed. I don't feel safe getting hotel or driving 3 hours to event with no ticket. I am so sad and wish I never used SeatGeek. Avoid this.
