They also looked at in-vitro fertilization (IVF), but when they learned they would have to secure donor eggs, it was an idea they rejected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to experience a pregnancy that we felt honored God,\u201d Marlene said in a recent interview in their San Diego\u00a0County home. \u201cHaving donor eggs fertilized by my husband would bring a third person into our marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19967 alignright\" style=\"margin: 15px;\" title=\"hannah-grows\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah-grows-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah-grows-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah-grows.jpg 371w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>What they did, through the support of Dr. James Dobson; long-time family friend Ron Stoddart; and, they believe, the hand of God, is discover something new: a way to adopt a frozen embryo.<\/p>\n<p>That was in 1997. Their daughter, Hannah Strege, born Dec. 31, 1998, is known as a Snowflake Baby \u2014 a term Marlene coined because embryos are like a snowflake: each frozen, unique, and never again to be created.<\/p>\n<p>Stoddart, trained as an adoption attorney, was director of Nightlight Christian Adoptions in Orange County and saw the potential to extend life to the thousands of embryos that are \u201cextras\u201d in the IVF process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens with IVF is that embryos are created by mixing the sperm and eggs in a Petri dish,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey transfer one or two of the fertilized eggs to the woman, and the rest are frozen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The frozen embryos \u2014 usually 15-20 from the mixture \u2014 can be thawed for the woman if she wants another child, but Stoddart said there are four choices of what to do with the remaining embryos:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Keep them frozen at $600 to $800 a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Have them thawed and destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Donate them for embryonic stem cell research, which also destroys the embryo.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Place them for adoption with another family \u2014 like the Streges.<\/p>\n<p>The final option is what Stoddart\u2019s organization, Nightlight Christian Adoptions, coordinates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 613,000 of these embryos in the U.S. that should be adopted. They are life; all they need is a place to grow. The number of embryos grows by 4 percent a year,\u201d Stoddart said.<\/p>\n<p>The frozen embryos have an indefinite shelf life, Stoddart noted. Only 50% survive the traumatic freeze-thaw process.<\/p>\n<p>Marlene noted that in 2010, a healthy baby boy was born after the embryo was frozen for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>A couple placing their embryos with a family cannot be compensated. That\u2019s illegal, Stoddart said. However, they can be selective on who gets their remaining embryos. Some placing families also like to keep in contact with the adoptive family.<\/p>\n<p>Nightlight has seen the birth of 311 Snowflake Babies (another 23 are expecting), and there are several other embryo adoption agencies as well \u2014 but all together, less than 1,000 have been born.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere needs to be a whole lot more adopted,\u201d said Marlene Strege, who has become an advocate for the Snowflake Baby movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were the first,\u201d she noted, \u201cand that came after we were convinced it was of God. My husband John and I sought counsel from our pastor, another pastor, and Dr. Dobson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After being asked if the embryo adoption was something he believed was morally and ethically right, Dobson encouraged the idea. Marlene and Hannah have been on Dobson\u2019s radio program several times.<\/p>\n<p>The first was when Hannah was five months old. Then, when she was two and a half years old, she sang, \u201cJesus Loves the Little Children\u201d to Dobson on the air at a time when Dobson was urging Congress to reject embryonic stem cell research.<\/p>\n<p>The Streges also visited with President George W. Bush and his staff several times, including a speech regarding him signing his first veto \u2014 of federal funding parameters for embryonic and adult stem cell research.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the president put into place federal grant funding to support education for public awareness of the Snowflake program. That funding, which Dobson and others seek to protect, is being threatened by President Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Marlene and Hannah recently were recorded for another Family Talk radio program with Dobson, scheduled to air Aug. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Marlene is also active with what she calls \u201cSnow Sisters\u201d for families that have adopted a Snowflake Baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe support each other, because we share a very unique bond,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe have birthday parties together and share our experiences via e-mail across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such interaction is encouraged by Nightlight. Since it\u2019s an open adoption, there are no secrets.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19968 alignleft\" style=\"margin: 15px;\" title=\"hannah\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah-300x275.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/hannah.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Marlene said Hannah always knew she was adopted. Her first understanding at about age 5 was expressed to her friends this way: \u201cI was adopted as a seed and placed in my Mommy\u2019s tummy to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The miracle of her birth is nothing new for Hannah Strege. Thanks to her mom, she has heard it over and over.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s never anything new for Hannah about being interviewed, either. It may be \u201cold hat\u201d for her, but people are always amazed when they learn she was the first Snowflake Baby.<\/p>\n<p>That would also make her the first Snowflake Teen, a role with which she\u2019s very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>But when asked what she thought of all the attention, she had only one word: \u201cTired.\u201d That\u2019s a teenager!<\/p>\n<p>Still, as normal as she is, the story of her birth is different. Not many children have a photo album with a timeline like \u201cHannah Conceived,\u201d \u201cHannah Frozen Alive,\u201d \u201cHannah Adopted\u201d (3\/98), \u201cHannah Arrives at Clinic\u201d (3\/5\/98), \u201cHannah Thawed\u201d (4\/10\/98), and \u201cHannah Transferred to Mom\u201d (4\/11\/98) \u2014 the latter two with photos of growing embryos. A poster follows with \u201cHannah Confirmed Implanted (4\/23\/98) among more dates before and after her birth.<\/p>\n<p>Marlene shared that Jeremiah 1:5 is their family verse: \u201cBefore I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s an amazing verse, because when it refers to \u2018womb,\u2019 that\u2019s the uterus. But God knew her <em>before<\/em> that \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t matter if her life began in the fallopian tube or the Petri dish, her life was already started. God knew her and she was destined to be with our family \u2014 on loan from God,\u201d Marlene explained.<\/p>\n<p>God also has a plan for the 613,000 other embryos, she believes.<\/p>\n<p>Marlene said her experience with birthing Hannah has been a tremendous blessing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel so much closer to God now,\u201d she explained. \u201cI can just feel Him in this; to see the things that have happened, knowing we\u2019re doing the right things. There have been so many miracles. We see God\u2019s fingerprints all over it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t consider anything else. What we learned is that we\u2019re not in love with the egg and the\u00a0 sperm that create a child, but with Hannah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John and Marlene chose the name Hannah because it means \u201ca gift from God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nightlight Christian Adoptions is in Anaheim Hills.
