Why does the NEDC require its adopting families to complete a home study, and what's involved? How are open adoption relationships worked out? And why do all NEDC adopters go through training/education modules? Christian Adoption Consultants Lead Social Worker & Embryo Program Coordinator Rebekah McGee answers all those questions and more in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast. Plus, Rebekah shares the heart for adoption that led her to this work in the first place. Share, rate, review, and subscribe to The Embryo Adoption Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

Ezekiel Lee went from thinking embryo adoption sounded “so sci-fi”… to becoming an NEDC dad! But he and his wife Rachel were frustrated there was no book comprehensively covering how to pursue embryo adoption. So, Ezekiel decided to write it himself! He talks about the book, Once Frozen, Now Family: How to Pursue Embryo Adoption, and How Seven Families Did It, in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast. Plus, he and Rachel share their own story. Here's a link where you can order the book: https://www.amazon.com/Once-Frozen-Now-Family-Adoption/dp/B0DY1VW7LG?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Abby & Bryce Thomas may be the only couple we know who literally drove all night (they actually slept in the car!) to get to their frozen embryo transfer. While the early part of their journey with the NEDC didn't work out as they hoped, they felt led by the Lord to return three years later. Now, as you'll learn in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast, things are totally different. You'll love this story of how God has grown Abby & Bryce to a family of six- and not just through embryo adoption!

Hoy vamos a hablar de la autonomía de los coches eléctricos. Hay una frase que dice: “Para acabar con el hambre de un pueblo, no les des comida, enséñales a cultivar el campo”. En este vídeo no os voy a dar un aburrido listado de coches y autonomías… algo habrá, pero la idea es tratar de que os forméis un criterio claro para interpretar la información, que no es real, que os dan las marcas… y, porque no decirlo, algunos canales y Web… y os anticipo que en la sección “Coche del día” se va a producir un hecho único en la historia del canal. No nos alarmemos: Las marcas siempre han dado cifras que no son reales, tanto cuando se hablada y se habla de consumos de combustible en coches térmicos, como ahora en los eléctricos. Cierto que las autoridades han ido desarrollando normativas para que los consumos homologados se acerquen a los reales… y se acercan, pero no llegan. Y no van a llegar nunca, porque las marcas cumplen, por supuesto, la normativa de cada momento, pero la aprovechan en su beneficio, buscando siempre las condiciones ideales. Los eléctricos NO son la solución… pero si una parte de la solución. Estoy en contra de “ciertos” eléctricos, sobre todos los grandes, pesados y caros eléctricos con el que pretenden decirnos que es cómodo viajar… porque posible es, pero cómodo… no. Al final, tras hablar de autonomía, os daré unas pinceladas sobre el tema de la recarga… porque en cierto modo van unidos: Menos autonomía, más recargas. Creo que hay muchas opciones, no solo una, y que en función del uso nos interesa una u otra. Porque, hoy por hoy, en ciudad, el eléctrico es imbatible entre los coches… porque siempre nos queda el transporte público, la bicicleta y la moto… muy eficientes también, porque ahorran emisiones y, además, espacio. Antes de hablar de cifras vamos a hablar de las condiciones que varían en estas cifras y pueden reducir a la mitad e incluso menos las cifras de autonomía anunciadas. Vamos a ver las más importantes: Estilo de conducción. Esta es clave. En un eléctrico el tipo de condición influye en el consumo incluso en mayor medida que en un coche convencional. Primero, porque cada vez que aceleras la masa que tienes que mover es muy alta y se paga en consumo. Incluso en eléctricos “gordos” pegas un par de acelerones y ves como baja la autonomía… si conduces así puede reducir la autonomía a un tercio e incluso a un cuarto. La velocidad se paga y la aceleración más y no, lo que recuperes al reducir no compensa lo que gatas al acelerar. Por otra parte conducir con mucha anticipación y aprovechando la posibilidades de autorrecarga se nota y mucho. Os voy a contar una anécdota (CONTAR Sylvia y su BMW) Tipo de carretera. A los eléctricos las cuestas arribas le sientan mal. Y las zonas de curvas tampoco les gustan, cuanto más cerradas peor, porque hay que “parar” mucho el coche... cuando recargas, pero luego volver a acelerar... con las consecuencias antes descritas. Carga. Siempre lo digo: Uno de esos grandes eléctricos que anuncian autonomías tan altas, rondan a sobrepasan las dos toneladas y media. Entre 600 y 800 kg de media más que un coche equivalente térmico. O lo que es lo mismo: Si consideramos el peso medio de una persona en 75 kilos, es como si llevases y coche normal y a 9 amigos… ni más ni menos. Si además llevas 4 amigos “de verdad” y equipaje, el peso extra se acerca a 500 kg… una verdadera mole. Temperatura exterior. Os voy a dar un dato que no es mío, os cito la fuente: La propia Renault. Nos dice que a temperaturas por encima de los 35 grados en empleo del aire acondicionado puede suponer una disminución de la autonomía en torno al 17 por ciento. Es decir que la realidad o es esa… o es peor. ¿Y qué pasa si hace frío? Pues todavía peor. Las baterías en general y el frio no se llevan bien. Eso por un lado. Por otro, un coche térmico utiliza para calentar a sus ocupantes el calor que “tira” y desperdicia. En un coche eléctrico hay que producirlo. Diversas fuentes, las propias marcas empresas de energía entre otras, cifran esta pérdida autonomía entre un 15 y un 25 por ciento en temperaturas bajo cero. Tráfico. Curiosamente el tráfico afecta menos al consumo. Es más, respecto a un coche convencional incluso les favorece. Por ejemplo, en ciudad, los eléctricos son especialmente eficientes, porque climatización al margen, cuando están parados no gastan nada. Y arrancadas suaves seguidas de frenadas que puedes prever, caso de los semáforos, son un uso al que se adaptan muy bien. Otra cosa es en carretera, sobre todo si es de doble sentido, donde hay que hacer adelantamientos y acelerar con decisión… y ya sabéis lo que pasa. Los consumos y autonomías homologados de los coches eléctricos se calculan mediante el llamado ciclo WLTP que viene de Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure. El ciclo de prueba WLTP se realiza en un banco de pruebas y tiene cuatro fases de unos 23,25 kilómetros. Dos fases son urbanas, equivalentes al 52 por ciento del recorrido y dos etapas extraurbanas. La velocidad media del recorrido es de 46,5 km/h. ¿Sirve de algo este dato? Pues sí, sirve, como los consumos homologados en general, para comparar unos coches con otros, pero nunca como cifra fiable de consumo, ¡NUNCA! Siempre va a ser más favorable que la realidad. Nos cabe el consuelo de que la normativa anterior, la NEDC era mucho menos real. Incluso. La diferencia entre la autonomía WLTP y la real, según el tipo de uso, puede estar entre el 25 y el 75 por ciento menos… calcula que la real es entre un 20 y un 40 por ciento menos si eres un buen conductor y usas el coche con cabeza. Cifras reales. Bueno, ya sabes lo que puedes esperar de la autonomía de los coches eléctricos en función de lo que te dicen los fabricantes. Pero unos son más optimistas que otros o sacan más partido que otros a la normativa. Incluso hay diferencias entre modelos. He mirado al menos 3 pruebas y estudios bastante homogéneos realizados por distintos medios en Gran Bretaña, España e Italia. Lo puedes ver en el vídeo. Coche del día. Lo que vais a ver hoy nunca ha sucedido en GH y es una especie de “protesta” por la imposición que nos han hecho de los coches eléctricos, de la escasa infraestructura, de la subida de precios y de su poca practicidad en algunos casos… Hoy, por primera vez, esta sección queda vacante… no hay coche del día.

Imagine you are in a small town, and several industries have moved out of your community. Many of your citizens have lost their jobs. What do you do now? Meet Jon Chadwell, the Executive Director of the Newport Arkansas Economic Development Commission. Jon's community rallied together and formalized a plan to revitalize their community. The community worked together to find industries that were previously present in town. The community invested in infrastructure to make the community more marketable to similar industries. They brought in new industries as well. As a manufacturing community, they shifted to invest in other industries, such as technology, by forming a tech depot. Newport shifted to having enough jobs where people from different communities now commute to Newport for their jobs. As a result, Newport has now partnered with the local school system and the local two-year college to provide training for local industry by identifying gaps in the workforce. This is a great episode for those thinking of revitalizing their economic development and employment through partnerships and grant-funded opportunities. About the guest Jon Chadwell is the Executive Director of the Newport Economic Development Commission (NEDC). The NEDC manages an economic development fund created by a one-half-cent sales tax in Newport, Arkansas. Jon has worked in local economic development for 30 years, the past 19 years in Newport. Previously, he held economic and community development roles in Blytheville, Camden and Prescott. Jon has held positions in a number of state and regional economic development groups. He is a member of Arkansas Economic Developers and Chamber Executives and a member of the International Economic Development Council. He was appointed by Governor Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Finance Development Authority in 2019. In addition to economic development activities, Jon has been active in facilitating adult leadership programs in Newport, Prescott and Camden. Jon has a B.A. and an M.Div. from Harding University. He is a graduate of the Community Development Institute and LeadAR. In addition, he is a Business Retention and Expansion Consultant through BRE International. Jon is also recognized by the International Economic Development Council as a Certified Economic Developer (CEcD). In 2022, he was chosen as the Outstanding Economic Developer in the state of Arkansas by the Arkansas Economic Developers and Chamber Executives Association. Jon is married to Sheridan Chadwell and has two children, Calli Johnson and Jordan Chadwell. Sheridan is the Arkansas Sales Rep for the Daniel Richards Showroom and Coordinator for the Joe and Helen Harris Foundation. Calli is an insurance agent in Newport with M&P Insurance and Investment. Jordan is a computer programmer with Bass Pro in Springfield, Missouri. Jon and Sheridan really enjoy spending time with their granddaughter Olivia. Email director@newportaredc.org

Going through fertility treatment can be a nerve-wracking and sometimes demoralising experience. When it's coupled with a past or current eating disorder, the whole process can be even more complicated. Why? “Fertility difficulties and going through fertility treatment can increase the risk of an eating disorder, but also, eating disorders can impact fertility,” says National Eating Disorder Collaboration National Manager, Dr. Sarah Trobe. The NEDC has a new program to help educate health professionals about these issues. It's important because the intersection between those seeking fertility treatment and those with eating disorders is surprisingly high. Not enough health practitioners are yet aware of this. “Up to 16% of those seeking fertility care are also experiencing a current eating disorder, which is much higher than the general population,” says Dr. Trobe. "And around 25% have a past lived experience.” Listen to Dr. Trobe share up-to-the-minute learnings from NEDC's work in this space and how health care professionals can identify risks and respond appropriately when needed. Importantly, Dr. Trobe also offers insights and tips for self-care around eating and body image for people in treatment, as well as for those thinking about starting the process.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode I am super excited to be introducing you to our next special guest Psychologist, Cathy Anderson. Cathy has worked for 20 years in the eating disorder space as a Senior Clinician, Senior Psychologist and Eating Disorder Coordinator predominantly having worked at the Illawarra Eating Disorders Service. Cathy has also been a guest Lecturer at Wollongong University and the University of Sydney and assisted in the development of content for postgraduate studies at the Nan Tien Institute. Most recently, Cathy was involved in the collaborative national project by the NEDC and ANZAED, providing supervision to psychologists involved in the eating disorder credentials process. Cathy now works at her own private practice called ‘Cathy Anderson Psychology' in Woonona. Cathy's practice consists of 80% eating disorder work where she is a Credentialled Eating Disorder Clinician and Board Approved Supervisor. Cathy has a background of working across fields of rehabilitation, pain management, neuropsychological rehab, community women's health and eating disorder having worked as a psychologist for 25 years. Cathy's work has encompassed provision of individual and group clinical work, family psychoeducation groups, workforce development, service development, supervision of psychologist and dieticians as well as has contributed to the development and implementation of the state-wide NSW Eating Disorder Plan. On this week's episode we will be speaking about the topic of compassion and self- compassion for those who experience eating disorders or disordered eating. Cathy herself was introduced to the idea of self- compassion in eating disorders about a decade ago when she came across Josie Geller, a Canadian Psychologist, present at the Australian Eating Disorders Conference in Sydney. After watching such an inspirational speaker, learning about the power over self-compassion alongside evidence-based approaches, Cathy wanted to further explore compassion. This is when Cathy came across Kristen Neff, whose work she talks about on the podcast as greatly influencing her practice. Here today, Cathy has additionally taken to narrative approaches from Michael White and Anita Johnston who continually impact her practice in the way she uses metaphor, analogy and lived experience. So on that note, please welcome our next special guest, Cathy! Podcast summary: 1. Understanding compassion 2. Acknowledging eating disorders serve a function 3.  Being able to sooth ourselves 4.

Sometimes embryo adoption dads struggle with parental identity. That stems from being the only adult in the process -donor or recipient- without a genetic or biological connection to their child. But shared biology and genetics aren't the only traits that make someone a ‘real dad.' NEDC dad Derek King has worked through those awkward feelings. He has a ton of helpful insights for other EA dads to kick off Season 4 of The Embryo Adoption Podcast.Do you find this podcast helpful? Spread the word!

Many people struggle to start a family because they have been unable to become pregnant. In-vitro fertilization has been the answer to many couples' prayers to have a baby.  But this success has created a surplus of frozen human embryos - human life -  but embryo donation and embryo adoption offer the blessing of life!  Jenny is talking with Dr. Jeffrey Keenan, President & Medical Director of the National Embryo Donation Center  (NEDC) and a fertility specialist at Southeastern Fertility in Knoxville, TN.  They are the largest group in the world providing embryo adoption.  (more babies born than anyone)  They are caring for the tiniest little ones - made in God's image!  Hear stories of hope as they share some of what families have shared in writing and video about being able to adopt these precious babies. What a blessing NEDC is!   To find out more about embryo adoption and donation, please see their website, embryodonation.org,, on social media and on their Podcast - “The Embryo Adoption Podcast” with Host Mike Mellinger.”

We're having some fun in this episode! Almost 8 months after their births, catch up with the NEDC babies frozen as embryos for a world-record of nearly 30 years, Timothy & Lydia Ridgeway, as well as their parents Philip & Rachel. This family's looking back on the wild and sometimes hilarious adventure of making global news. Would they do it all again? ... FULL TRANSCRIPT (Please note there may be spelling, grammatical, and factual errors as this transcript was generated by AI.) 00:00 Mark Mellinger Looking back on two world record arrivals. That's what we're doing on this edition of the Embryo Adoption Podcast. I'm your host, Mark Mellinger, and the embryo adoption podcast is brought to you by the National Embryo Donation center. You can find out more about our work by going to embryodonation.org. I'm joined by four guests today, philip and Rachel Ridgeway, as well as Timothy and Lydia. They are the world record holders for the longest frozen embryos to come to birth. I'm sure many of you remember this global news story from last November and December, and they went through the NEDC and we're catching up with them. Doing a little bit of a post mortem here, by the way. This is one family that is busy. They have four older kids besides these two. So I really appreciate you all taking the time. And like I said, if you're not watching the video version, you'll hear them, the kids, the youngest are with us and they are just cute as a button as they are about eight months old as we record this interview.  01:09 Mark Mellinger So let me start here. How are Timothy and Lydia doing? They look like they're doing great. And how is the rest of your family adjusted?  01:17 Rachel Ridgeway Well, they are growing amazingly by God's grace. Their pediatrician has been so impressed with them because when they were born, they were good size, but they were like on the fifth percentile for weight and length, and they've gone up to the 50th. And so their pediatrician couldn't be any happier with their growth and development. And the kids, we all love them. We can't imagine life without them at this point. It's been such a blessing and so much fun. And each of the kids takes turn holding them and caring for them and loving them.  01:48 Mark Mellinger Are you getting sleep? I mean, they should be decent sleepers by this age, right?  01:55 Rachel Ridgeway You would hope. And the pediatrician says, oh, they can sleep through the night now. They weigh a heavy enough. I'm like, yeah, you got to tell them that Lydia is by far the better sleeper. She's pretty low maintenance. Peter put her to bed. She's pretty happy about that. Timothy's our snuggle bug.  02:13 Mark Mellinger He's with Daddy right now. And I think they're both a little fascinated with the computer that you're doing this interview through that's. Okay, let's go talk, first of all, about your experience through the NEDC. We'll start there. You were intentional about selecting embryos that had been here a long time. You wanted to do this.  02:36 Rachel Ridgeway Why?  02:37 Philip Ridgeway So when were thinking through how would we select a profile, we didn't have any sort of characteristic in mind if we want children with similar hair color or eye color or whatever. So we couldn't think of any criteria we would use to select embryos except for, well, just give us the oldest ones, the webs that have been waiting the longest. And so that's what went with.  03:08 Mark Mellinger Because you knew that those embryos were harder to place. I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I'm sort of asking that question. I know you guys share our heart for life. I mean, that's why we're here, is to protect the sanctity and dignity of human embryos. And these children that you're holding were frozen for just a month and a half shy of 30 years, which is just amazing. That was your heart behind this, right? You wanted the embryos that you wanted to give the embryos a shot at life that were likely going to be harder to place.  03:41 Philip Ridgeway Yeah, that was part of it. But also just the fact that each of these embryos is a human being that God has created in his own image, he's given life to, they have value. They're all equally as valuable in our minds. We couldn't think of a way of saying, well, we want some and not others. So rather than selecting some arbitrary criteria, we said we want those that have been waiting there the longest. That have been waiting the longest to be adopted into a family.  04:25 Mark Mellinger Yeah. Lydia's giving Rachel some problems over there. I understand she's getting hungry. That's totally understandable. Let me ask you this. I mentioned that this was big news several months ago. Are you glad that you went public with your story? Would you do it all over again?  04:43 Rachel Ridgeway Oh, yeah. The amount of people that even just our church body getting to know about embryo adoption and everything involved with that and then having it go public, just being able to talk to more and more people about embryo adoption and the sanctity of life and why these kids are just as important as any other kids out there that are in need of families and really just to be able to glorify God and to give him the credit for the fact that he's the one that created Timothy and Lydia. He's the one that sustained them for the 30 years in the freezer and then sustained them in my womb and continues to sustain them and to be able to give him the glory for what he has done and just to give these babies a face because it's such a hard, nebulous idea for people to come to grips with that there are millions of children frozen out there that just need a chance at life.  05:36 Rachel Ridgeway And it's such a strange thought and process that most people have never even heard of. And so to be able to give it that platform so that people can know and understand and want to look into it for themselves, it's a huge blessing for us.  05:50 Philip Ridgeway It's also been helpful, even just for ourselves. It's challenged us to think through the issue of life and what the Bible says about that and how do we evaluate from a biblical perspective things like IVF and infertility. So that's really helped us to sort of codify what we believe and to speak to people about that issue because it's a common thing. And what we found is that very few people who haven't done embryo adoption or even IDF don't know what it is, what it all involves, what the moral implications of it. So it's been helpful even just for us, but also for the people that God's providentially brought into our lives. We've been able to share our story and teach them about embryo adoption and the life that God has given to these children.  06:46 Mark Mellinger Well, that's a key point, is that a lot of people will just rush into, if they have the money IVF when they're going through infertility what you're saying. And I know, by the way, even though you have four older children, you all experienced infertility before this. So this is not something with which you are unfamiliar. It's a sensitive topic for you. It's a very real topic for you. And you're saying even though you had gone through it and I know you did not need to go all the way to IVF. You did not go all the way to IVF, even with that background as pretext embryo adoption even made you stop think further, refine your views on what links you will go to achieve children, on the link between fertility and.  07:41 Philip Ridgeway Faith, and also just how to think through it. There are some people that we encountered that were adamantly opposed to embryo adoption just because it's loosely connected with IVF, thinking that somehow embryo adoption promotes IVF, causes more IVF to happen. That was really something that we wrestled through and thought through and had to formulate arguments in our minds. And it was very helpful in that respect.  08:12 Mark Mellinger I remember having a conversation about that with you two while you were pregnant with them, and that was interesting. It is a question that you run into every now and then, and it's a good, thoughtful question that we're happy to engage. What was it like seeing your story told by media outlet after media outlet all over the world, sometimes very entertaining. Okay, yeah. And I know some of this. What were some of the moments that you found entertaining?  08:50 Rachel Ridgeway I think it was my uncle shared an article and it had the wrong photo on it. So saying our family, but it was actually the previous record holder's family photo. They just used some sort of random twin photo of any twins. And so it was our story. But those aren't our kids. Those are pretty funny or just different things that we realized that very quickly, that different news outlets just play telephone now. We have a couple of interviews in person, but then there's all these articles and you can see the little tweaks. So somehow somebody got something wrong.  09:27 Philip Ridgeway Yeah, they hear that, then EDC is in Tennessee and they just assumed that were in Tennessee. Our location changed from article to article. There was some humor in it, and at first it was surprising, but at the same time, were grateful for the opportunities we talked about that God chose to use us in this way and that he is being glorified in this, that life is being put on display and people are hearing the truth. There was someone from our church that read the CNN article and said, yeah, it ends with the sovereignty of God, that God is the one who ordains life and creates life and preserves life, sustains life. That's been our desire all along, for God to be glorified in this.  10:20 Mark Mellinger And that's what you did. You did it all throughout. I loved how you did it, and you really did it in an articulate and intentional way. It wasn't just sort of generic Hallmark card, glorifying God and praising God. There was some theological weight behind it. And I love that about your story. Yeah. And it was interesting seeing the various places that you lived, whether it was Tennessee or Washington oregon, they could have just thought, I guess, that you were sort of a family that was living out of an RV or something, because it did change occasionally. What were some of the most memorable responses you received from folks? I'm not talking about members of the media. I'm talking about just people who saw your story either in person or online.  11:16 Rachel Ridgeway You've had somebody stop you and go, hey, I know you from high school and I saw your article, I think.  11:23 Philip Ridgeway Yeah, that was at the Burbank Airport.  11:27 Mark Mellinger Is that right?  11:29 Rachel Ridgeway Yeah. Oh, I got text messages from friends and different long distance family members that were like, hey, we saw you people go look at my Facebook feed, and all of a sudden, wait, that's a little bit Rachel. They're on there. We didn't really make it public that were going to do this. We just kind of put it out there. So I think it's quite entertaining for a lot of our church family to see our faces plastered over for a few days and be like, I know those people.  11:57 Mark Mellinger You mentioned the telephone world of the media, how a lot of them will basically lift details that were gathered by somebody else and make it their own. That was one aspect that stood out to you. I think another aspect that stood out is a lot of the media, like local TV stations or online outlets, are owned by the same companies. So basically, if you do something with one station, you can be sending it out to the entire country. That didn't used to be the case. Were there other aspects of working with the media that surprised you from either a positive or negative standpoint?  12:40 Rachel Ridgeway For the most part, I think it was all pretty positive. We didn't really run into any big hiccups or anything. I have to say, I think the Guinness World Record article was quite impressive. I was actually very shocked by that one, thinking that we filled out this long survey question by question for them, and they just took it and they put it out there word for word. And so even with our references to the Lord and his sustaining and all that, they put it out there. I was like, oh, sweet. That's pretty cool.  13:13 Mark Mellinger That was so cool. And it was so cool that I have the plaque hanging across from my office here at the NEDC. You guys were nice enough to let us have like, a replica plaque because you have a plaque there.  13:26 Rachel Ridgeway Yeah, well, they do, I guess.  13:32 Mark Mellinger Right? It's so cool. And it's funny, people do they stop by and notice it all the time and they're like, oh, that was you guys. So they knew about the story, or if they hadn't heard the story, they're like, that is amazing. Almost 30 years. We'll try to get some placards with your pictures and stuff, too, to add to that. So you'll always have a home in Tennessee. Whether the media says you do or not, you'll always be here in a sense. Hey, I'm always interested. And by the way, let me say this. This was largely the experience with some of our other couples who have done massive nationwide publicity. There have only been a couple, but generally we as Christians can sometimes bang on the media and be down on them. And there are some legitimate criticisms there, but I always like to praise them where I can.  14:26 Mark Mellinger And I would say I agree with the two of you that by and large, they were very friendly, very courteous. They did share your Christian viewpoint in most cases, which was very important to you, and we let them know that. So they were very respectful and good to work with, and they usually are in the context of the NEC. So we appreciate those in the media who do it well as we do any profession that's a gift from God. So of all the media coverage, which reporter outlet did the best job telling your story? You mentioned that Guinness did a great job. Was there anybody else who stood out as yeah, this is the one. If I had to point somebody to our story.  15:13 Philip Ridgeway There was the initial article with the Gospel Coalition. We were really satisfied, happy with that. How the author, she did a really good job with that story. Actually, the CNN one were quite impressed with, and were surprised at how well they covered accurately portrayed things that he said. But we also did a local interview with a reporter. Do you remember the station? Reporter's name was Alma, and it was.  15:43 Mark Mellinger With it's hard to remember. I get it.  15:49 Philip Ridgeway Yeah, I can't remember the station because we don't watch local news. But reporter came to our house and just asked us questions and she was really relatable and we watched a story and she just did a fantastic job.  16:03 Rachel Ridgeway Yeah, she really did.  16:05 Philip Ridgeway We had a great experience.  16:06 Rachel Ridgeway Yeah, we definitely had some unique ones. I think we did. It was a podcast, right, for Connecticut.  16:12 Mark Mellinger Oh, I think I remember. I know which one you're talking about.  16:15 Rachel Ridgeway Go ahead. Yeah. And she asked different questions, so that was definitely an interesting interview. She focused more on the fact that Lydia and Timothy's history includes their dad having their biological dad having a diagnosis of ALS and what does that mean? And so that was definitely just a unique one, but it also provided us with the opportunity of really showing how God is in control of all things and that Lydia and Timothy still need to be given the opportunity at life despite the possibilities. And the reality is that any child has the possibility of having anything at any time. And so the idea that there's somehow a greater risk with these guys is very funny because God's in control of all things and so we have nothing to fear because we know that whatever he sends us our way as believers will be for our good and for his glory.  17:10 Mark Mellinger Amen. It's such a great point. I mean, if you're human, you're fundamentally broken and in need of restoration and this side of eternity, something bad's going to happen to you that will take you out. That's just how it is. So there's really no difference, right? That's just how it is. Yeah.  17:35 Rachel Ridgeway In all of human history, there's only been, what, two people that didn't die, right?  17:40 Mark Mellinger Exactly.  17:42 Rachel Ridgeway Yeah, exactly. So you've got a pretty high percentage chance of a Lloyd taking you home.  17:50 Mark Mellinger Are you collecting highlights from that time in a scrapbook or a thumb drive or anything?  17:57 Rachel Ridgeway I wish.  17:57 Mark Mellinger But now you're too busy talk about your other kids, how old they are.  18:03 Philip Ridgeway Well, part of it is being too busy, but also part of it's just like we didn't do this for the flame. That hasn't been a motivating factor for us really at all. We talked about our desire was to point people to Christ and for him to be glorified and so it wasn't about us. But yeah, we do have a few things here and there. Like you mentioned, the plague, Afghanistan. We haven't decided what to do with.  18:37 Rachel Ridgeway You yet, but well, nowadays the Internet, it's like if they want to find out, it's just a matter of googling their names and we'll be able to find all kinds of fun things about them.  18:48 Mark Mellinger And the thing is, it'll proliferate over the years, maybe go in directions that you never saw.  19:00 Philip Ridgeway We also wouldn't have time, even if we wanted to do that sort of thing between, you know, works school, serving at our church. I'm in seminary.  19:09 Mark Mellinger Are you going to seminary?  19:11 Philip Ridgeway Yeah, I'm going a student at the Master's seminary in their MDIF program.  19:17 Mark Mellinger Well, congratulations. Now are you just going to use that to serve more effectively in your home and church or do you plan to sort of switch careers and become a pastor?  19:29 Philip Ridgeway I'm in training to be an elder at our church. So I don't know where God's going to take that, but I primarily just want to be a more effective servant minister of his word. So it's been neat. I've been doing that for the past year with a couple of other guys from our.  19:51 Mark Mellinger How cool. Now that is really great. I was going to see if we can get you guys back. It looks like you have frozen on me, so that's okay. We were pretty much at the end of our time anyway. So I guess I will use this as an opportunity to just wrap up the podcast. We want to thank you too so much, philip and Rachel as well as Timothy and Lydia. They behaved just wonderfully.

After 15 years of marriage with no children, Chris & Rachel suddenly became parents of twins! Find out how sleep training was key to their finding a new routine, and how a stuffed bear not only helped Rachel through her fear of needles but will endure as a sentimental keepsake for their kids. All that, and the role their faith played, in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast. Rate, review, and subscribe to The Embryo Adoption Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts...FULL TRANSCRIPT (Please note there may be spelling, grammatical, and factual errors as this transcript was generated by AI.)  00:00 Mark MellingerIt's a great story of faith amid infertility. And finally, answer in embryo adoption. I'm Mark Mellinger, your host, and this is the embryo adoption podcast brought to you by the National Embryo Donation Center. You can find out more about us at Embryodonation.org. Chris and Rachel Chumita are with me today, and they are joined by their twins. You can see that if you're watching the video version. Ezekiel and Elizabeth. They're about seven months old as we record this, and they are cute as a button family. It's great to see you.  00:36 Rachel Chumita Good to be here.  00:38 Mark Mellinger I love it. And your kids are being so good. We'll see if that continues throughout the whole episode. It may not, and if it doesn't, that's okay. I will try not to keep you too long. I love that you have a shared faith now, but you actually didn't when you got married. Can you two walk me through how that happened?  01:00 Rachel Chumita Sure. I was raised in a Protestant church. Chris was raised in a different faith that he wasn't neither of us actually were believers, although I kind of had a more solid upbringing, if you will, in terms of Christianity and my background. I knew that Jesus was the only way to heaven. But I, again, wasn't a believer. Over the years, I'd ask Chris, over time, you do know that Jesus is the only way to heaven? He'd be like, no, I don't think so. Just one day, God got a hold of my heart, and I just prayed that he would lead us to a church where I would come to really know him and where Chris would come to know him. God answered that prayer and he led us to a church through his providence and where we did both become Christians. Short story.  02:07 Mark Mellinger It's an amazing story, and I should say at the outset, you guys have been married I'm not telling you this, but I'm telling our audience. You've been married for a long time. I mean, you were married for 15 years before you had your children, so it was a long road. How do you think being Christians affected the way that you navigated infertility?  02:31 Chris Chumita I think it helped quite a bit, because when were first married, I have neurofibromatosis, which is a hereditary condition, and since we had no faith in God or in his providence, we decided to have vasectomy very early on in our marriage. After we became Christians, believing in God and His Providence, we decided to have it reversed, and it was considered successful. But then we just couldn't get pregnant. All the tests, the ones we did, just came back. If there's no reason, you're not. We just kind of relied as much as we could on Romans 828 and just went on from there.  03:07 Mark Mellinger Yeah. All things work together for those who love God as Romans 828. Most of our audience would know that. Just in case you don't and that doesn't always mean necessarily in the here and now. It may mean in eternity. So at least we have that comfort. How did you find out about embryo adoption in the NEDC, by the way?  03:29 Rachel Chumita Chris was filling the pulpit for his friend indiana, where we met Jen and Aaron Hannaker. Jen was pregnant with Evie at that time, and so were just talking, and she was like, well, she's pregnant. She's like, now this baby is adopted. And I'm like, Wait, what? I asked her about more of it, and we talked for a little while. On our way back to Ohio, I told Chris, I'm like, okay, this is really cool. What do you think about it? Chris knows that I get really emotional around my birthday every year through the years of infertility. He was like, okay, I'm totally on board, but we're going to get a couple of weeks past birthday and make sure that this is still a desire of yours before we just jump at it. The rest is history. It was still committed after a couple of weeks.  04:24 Mark Mellinger Yeah, and the hammockers are terrific. EVs one of their NEDC babies. They have a couple now. Interesting. You were doing pulpit supply because Chris does have a master's degree in theology, I should say you're not a full time pastor, but you do some pulpit supply. Just doing this pulpit supply over in your neighboring state, Indiana, because you guys live in the Cleveland area. This is how you heard about yes, sir. Embryo adoption. Yes. What was the process of going through the NEDC like? Anything that you'd like to share to prepare other people who are thinking about it?  05:03 Chris Chumita We thought it was just very easy. Any question asked was quickly answered. The process was very straightforward. The home study group went through.  05:12 Rachel Chumita Was Snowflakes, I believe.  05:15 Mark Mellinger Snowflakes family evaluation was very easy.  05:18 Chris Chumita It was not like the horse stories you hear about people going through other adoptions. We really enjoyed the first trip down in Edict. We thought just meeting the whole staff, how they walked you through the whole process was very helpful and relieved any fears you might have had.  05:33 Mark Mellinger Well, that's great to hear. The Snowflakes family evaluation is something that some of our families may be interested in. It's an alternative to a traditional home study. We do have a home study requirement with the NEDC, but the Snowflakes family evaluation, the SFE, is good for two years, which is longer than most home studies, so that can be a good option. Also they'll go anywhere in the country to do it. The big distinction is it is only good for embryo adoption. If you're looking for a more flexible option that's good for both traditional adoption and embryo adoption, you wouldn't want to do the SFE, but it can be a good option if you're only interested in embryo adoption like Chris and Rachel were. Your kids are being so good. I love how especially Elizabeth is looking at the camera and wanting to play with that thing.  06:26 Mark Mellinger Let's talk about them a little bit. I mean, take me to the moment that Ezekiel and Elizabeth were born.  06:34 Rachel Chumita Well, I will say the one thing that was really scary for me were the shots. And so I don't like shots. Chris always has to go with me to my dentist appointments for that shot.  06:49 Mark Mellinger These are the shots to stimulate your cycle so your body's ready to do this. Okay, so before we get to the birth, how did you work through that? That's really practical.  07:00 Rachel Chumita Well, I was scared, but then I thought, okay, it's worth it. What I also did was I got a little stuffed bare, and so I would hold onto it really tight whenever Chris would give me my shots. It was just like a little reminder of why I was getting them done. It kind of made it all worth it in the end. Just kind of that little reminder every time I get my shots, like, okay, this is for what I called it, Booba Bear. My intention was, and still is to pass those bears on to them then for when they have to go through something like a shot. After we found out we had two, we got a second for me to finish my progesterone and oil shots. So I'd hold both of them then. And so now they know. They'll know that's how much I love them, that I went through those shots and Boo Bear helped me, and it can help them.  07:57 Mark Mellinger That's really good and really practical. I love that. Tell me about when they entered the world.  08:06 Rachel Chumita It was a Caesarean section, and yeah, it went really well. They were like, this is your son, this is your daughter. It was just amazing. I was opened up on the table and stuff, but then they got me the babies as soon as possible, and it was just like I didn't ever want to leave them, ever.  08:32 Mark Mellinger Chris? Yeah? Tell me what it was like for you. I mean, you're talking about basically 16 years of marriage with no kids and now twins.  08:43 Chris Chumita Yeah, it's been a big change, but a change for a good especially with twins. When you'd ask someone with twins, so how was the first few weeks? They give you, like, the wide eyed look, and you kind of know what that looks like now. Especially right now, as they're getting order, they're getting mobile. Like, Ezekiel is very close to walking and Lisa's just starting to crawl, and they're interacting a lot more. It's just so much fun. I always say, to highlight my days when I come home from work and I walk in and say, hey, Daddy's home. They both let out a squill and try to run over to you as much as they can.  09:21 Mark Mellinger Well, remember that when they're teenagers. Tuck that away in your mind. It's a sweet moment for right now and enjoy it. It doesn't always last that long. All kidding aside, I mean, they're beautiful kids. If you're watching on the video version, you can see that Elizabeth just had a pleasant smile on her face basically the whole time. Ezekiel has been looking at Daddy most of. Describe their personalities and how they have changed your lives.  09:53 Rachel Chumita Go ahead.  09:54 Chris Chumita Ezekiel is basically just a ham. He's always just smiling and laughing and he hits his landmarks very quickly. He's climbing up on furniture already and everything along those lines and he's just always so happy. I don't know if you can tell in the video, Elizabeth is just a sweetheart, but she has the biggest eyes, like pussing boots, which I know she's going to manipulate us later with.  10:19 Rachel Chumita She's just really mild and laid back and she wants held all the time and she has a little cuddle bug and she just yeah, she's terrified of her brother because he's a bull in a china shop when it comes to his sister.  10:39 Mark Mellinger Have you adjusted to twins life? I mean, I can't imagine having two newborns at the same time, and I know having one is hard. Do you think you've made the adjustment like you've got a routine down?  10:52 Chris Chumita Yeah, especially now that went through sleep training. That's really helped quite a bit.  10:59 Mark Mellinger Sleep training? Really? Tell me about that.  11:03 Rachel Chumita It was rough. We asked a lady who does it. We hired a sleep consultant and so essentially you stay in the room so that they know that you're there, but sometimes you just have to let them cry. It's amazing how quickly because for the first what was that? That was just after six months we started sleep training and so it was amazing for the first six months, every time they'd start to cry, you'd be like, grab them before they wake up their sibling. It was amazing to me how quickly they adapted to sleeping through each other's meltdown. You'd have one like just screaming and the other one would just be fast asleep and so it was an interesting experience. It was intense, but I think we're coming out pretty well on the other side.  11:59 Mark Mellinger Well, it's a great takeaway for people who do have twins. I love your story. You guys have been so good to share it and the kids have been so good. You've held them the whole time and they've been great. I don't want to make it too long. We're about ready to wrap up. Anything else about your embryo adoption experience or journey that you two felt is important and wanted to share?  12:24 Chris Chumita I just think it's what's great about needic is it's such a pro life message. It's an area in the pro life movement, I think, that's very neglected because as Christians, we all believe that life begins its conception and there's hundreds of thousands of babies that just need adopted and need a chance to live life. It's something I wish that more pro life groups and other churches would get behind and help promote it. We all really like, too, how Edith can work with people financially as well and how much more affordable it is than traditional adoption and IVF amen.  13:02 Mark Mellinger It is all of those things. You're right, it is still the corner of both the pro life and pro adoption movements that the church is capital C church is just learning about. Well, no meltdowns. They're just now starting to get a little fussy. It is the perfect time to wrap up this episode. Chris, Rachel and Ezekiel and Elizabeth, I want to thank you all so much. You have a beautiful family and this was so much fun.  13:28 Rachel Chumita Okay, thank you very much.  13:29 Chris Chumita Thank you so much.  13:30 Mark Mellinger If you want to find out more about the National Embryo Donation Center, you can go to our website, embryodonation.org.

Just what does it mean to choose open embryo adoption through the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC)? It's a common question, and the answer looks different in every situation. NEDC moms Marti Bailey, Bethany Piechowski, and Nina Brenneman are sharing helpful insights in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast.

Jared & Kristi experienced the heartbreak of several embryo adoption transfers with no success. It made no sense to them. They know, this side of eternity, it never will. Yet there's so much to learn from this brave NEDC couple. They're sharing their story to help others, on this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast. Rate, review, and subscribe to The Embryo Adoption Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts....    FULL TRANSCRIPT (Please note there may be spelling, grammatical, and factual errors as this transcript was generated by AI.) 00:01 Mark Mellinger Generally on the embryo adoption podcast, we're sharing stories that turned out well in just about every respect. We want to be very careful and transparent, too, as we describe the ups and downs of embryo adoption to cover absolutely every angle. The truth is, not every story has the happy ending with the neat bow, and we need to talk about that. So that's what we're doing today. I'm Mark Mellinger, your host. This is the embryo adoption podcast brought to you by the National Embryo Donation Center. My guests today are Jared and Kristi Taylor. They have been gracious enough to go down this hard road with us here for today's episode. I can't thank you, too, enough for this. I think it's really important for people who either have gone through embryo adoption and have experienced some of the same feelings that you have and people who are prospective embryo adoption families to know about this and hear about it.  01:02 Mark Mellinger So it's really important. I want to start here, though. Why did embryo adoption initially pique your interest?  01:11 Kristi Taylor We actually have three biological children first, and went the route of oral fertility drugs with the first two. The last one was a total surprise. We just started pursuing a traditional adoption. We looked into traditional adoption for a long time. A bunch of different agencies. Our fertility doctor actually recommended us for embryo adoption, and so I started looking into that. I was on board with it more before Jared was, so I just kind of waited for him to catch up with me. I don't know. Being pregnant, pregnancy is a cool thing. It's a miraculous thing. I think that was part of the draw, I think, to embryo adoption, because it's a neat thing to be able to have babies and your own babies and how to, I don't know, take your prenatals and how to do all the right things with it. And so that was a cool thing.  02:05 Kristi Taylor Adoption has always been in our path, though.  02:07 Jared Taylor Well, I think it gives a different perspective to the traditional adoption, because one traditional adoption is very hard right now, and it's a business. The other thing you get with traditional adoption is you don't for sure know what you're getting. Embryo adoption presented a path that felt like it was more in line with what our standards were, of how were living our own life, and gave us an opportunity to bring children that would be like us and that would have genetics like us that were a little more the environment was a little more controlled than just a wild card.  02:45 Mark Mellinger Definitely a more controlled environment. You guys ended up being one of our favorite couples. You always had a story for us every time you came in the door, and we're always of such good humor, so it's just proof you don't have to have had NADC kids, through the NADC at least, who survived outside the womb to be part of the NADC family, because, Jared and Christie, you very much are. Describe your experience with the NADC.  03:19 Kristi Taylor We love you all. That's part of the frustrating thing about it all is like, everything should have worked out and then it all just became this massive. Well, 2020 was not a good year, I think, for anybody. That's pretty much how I would sum it up. 2020 sank pretty bad, right? We first matched with our first embryo donation family, we adored them. They even had the same names as us. Their babies looked like our babies. It was just meant to be. I think when went in for that transfer, I was a little shocked. I think that was my biggest shock when it didn't work out, because everything was supposed to be and it obviously wasn't. COVID started and I was suddenly homeschooling our three children and that was a disaster. Went in for our second transfer. I remember, well, the week before we left to Tennessee, were actually matched with a baby for this traditional agency were working with.  04:23 Kristi Taylor And were so excited for that. We were still going to go to Tennessee and we had this baby. The day that the mom was supposed to show up here in our state, she didn't come. So then we didn't have that baby. We flew to Tennessee and we landed. I turned my phone on and I had this message from Dr. Keenan saying, hey, something came up. I need you to call me. Here's my cell phone number. Thought, well, this is beautiful. We called him and he said that they went to thaw out the embryos and there wasn't any. He doesn't know what happened to them. We could decide what we wanted to do if we wanted to fly home or go for what was it?  05:01 Mark Mellinger A backup set, right?  05:02 Jared Taylor Yeah, it was anonymous transfer. All these big words, so we wouldn't have the information, we wouldn't have the couple that we had picked out. I believe with each one of them, we actually did zooms with them. At least one of them, maybe two of them. We did zooms prior to actually them accepting us, which is an interesting thing of where they still had control. These ones, we got that phone call and he goes, this is the first time we've ever had it happen here. It's a surprise. We've heard of it only at one other time. This doesn't happen. That night went and we prayed about it. Because of COVID we couldn't change our flight. It wasn't easy to do. We just got up the next morning and we thought, well, we'll just go in and see if any others come across. Our feeling that we think we should do.  05:58 Jared Taylor We found one, and that one was actually successful.  06:02 Kristi Taylor Yeah, for a week. Was it?  06:03 Jared Taylor For a week?  06:04 Kristi Taylor For a couple of days. I don't know what happened with that. I think one stopped growing and then the other one I don't know. Was it a topic? I don't know. All I know is I was getting my blood drawn like every week for the next two months. So that was fun, it was pleasant. I was good relationships with our fulfillment. Went for a third transfer, and I think neither one of us had really high hopes with that.  06:29 Jared Taylor The pessimism set in but the staff at NEDC is just great. Everybody there from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave, and through even the phone calls of the next couple of weeks, they take care of you and they care about you. And you really did. You do feel like it's a family and you want to be a part of it. I think that's why we want to do this today, too, is because even though weren't successful in the way we wanted, we still hope we can still be a part. We've had a few friends that have reached out to us wondering about it, and we've referred them over. It's hard it is to possibly be a blessing to somebody else in their own life when you didn't get it to come through, or hoping at least we can still be of some good.  07:17 Mark Mellinger Well, and you certainly are by doing this. You didn't have to do it, you weren't pressured into it. You wanted to do it after prayerful consideration, and I really respect that. Take me to that moment, because others who go through embryo adoption have been there or may be there. That moment when you realized the ultimate result was not going to be what you wanted, even though the vast majority of couples who come through the NEDC for multiple transfers do have children, you reached the end of the line, and that wasn't going to be your result. What were your thoughts and how did you grapple with that?  08:02 Kristi Taylor Well, I'd have to say ice cream is always like a good route to use chocolate, any of those. Also, I think giving yourself grace and knowing whatever emotion you feel is fine and it's okay and it doesn't matter. I don't think emotions are a bad thing. I think that they're perfect. I think you can let yourself have time to be angry and to be upset with how it should have been. I don't know what are you going to say to it.  08:35 Jared Taylor I think part of it too came down. We're on the West Coast and there's not a direct flight from we're in Salt Lake. There's not a direct flight into Knoxville for us, and so it's a few day event, and with our three kids with their ages. It was taxing on them for us to go and be gone. They were a part of the journey, too. We did not have any secrets from them. They knew what was going on. They knew that were trying to do it, and they got excited about it. And you just come to it. You desire and you want it so bad, but sometimes what may have meant to be and whatever was in the plan, success from our eyes was not success from God's eyes. Unfortunately, he has to allow the things of Earth to happen, too. He's pretty good at allowing agency and the elements to take place.  09:42 Mark Mellinger Was that the hardest part, sharing the disappointment with the children?  09:51 Kristi Taylor No, not really. We have of disappointment in our family anyways, and so it just was like, oh, hey, guess what, guys? I think my hardest part was I thought for sure this is what God wanted us to do, and then it didn't work. I think my hardest part was being like, okay, well, I'll just write this down to my little memoirs, and then when I die, I'll have my book club chat with God and be like, hey, I'd really like to discuss these chapters because what the heck? It doesn't make any sense to me. I think that is what I'm waiting for, because I don't think it will make sense on Earth. It doesn't. Nobody can say anything that will make sense, because it doesn't. I think that is just where that is. It's just in my little memoirs, and I will wait until I am dead.  10:36 Jared Taylor From the husband's perspective, it's really a helpless spot to because you have no control over anything. You can give your opinion, you can give advice, but pregnancy brings along its own set of mindset, and you have to watch your wife go through and prepare to become pregnant. It's IVF transfer, so there's a lot of hormones that are injected and you go through a lot of that. The emotions are real, and it's a difficult spot to try to be supportive and move through it and help everybody just keep going forward.  11:21 Mark Mellinger Are you still glad you adopted embryos?  11:24 Jared Taylor Yeah, I think so. Because even though we don't have a connection with those individuals anymore, I think when we get to the next side, we still will have a connection. I think our sphere of people have grown, if nothing else. We learned some things, as Chris has said, it's not necessarily some things we particularly wanted to learn or whatever want anybody to have to go through, because it challenges you as to whether you feel like you succeeded in life or not. I think it's definitely been an experience, that's for sure.  12:07 Mark Mellinger Yeah. My devotion last night was a Tim Keller reading on job, and it was really speaking to what you both have said. Sometimes when we suffer and it seems to make no earthly sense, we're going through the same thing that Job went through. God never revealed the reason to him of his suffering. At least it's not recorded in the book of Job. But he did have a purpose. He did have a plan. Job just didn't see the plan. That's where you two are right now when it comes to embryo adoption. That's where we all are, through various struggles and trials in our lives, right? These things that it seemed to be like, why would this not work? What the heck? What's going on? At least we have that assurance of knowing there is a plan and we'll know someday, like you said, Christie, but we don't see the plan now.  13:07 Mark Mellinger We just have to put our trust in the fact that someday we will. I want the two. If you look at the NADC success.  13:15 Jared Taylor Rate from our first transfer to the third transfer, the organization success rate shot, if I remember right, it went from like on the first one. I remember asking Dr. King, what are our odds? And he basically said, flip a coin. That's about where we're at right now. From after that third one and even to now, it looks like it's more in the 70% to 80%, depending upon the cycle.  13:44 Mark Mellinger Now we have had many that have had that success rate. Not everyone does. You still have your more around 50% and I think we've had even one or two that were lower. One thing I like about working here is we never want to embellish our press clearings. We want to be honest and straight shooters with people. You are right, Jared. The vast majority of our cycles, it seems like the rates have only gone up over the past couple of years, but not all of them are that way. It's certainly not a guarantee, but yeah, I know what you're saying. It increases the frustration, right?  14:32 Jared Taylor It does.  14:33 Mark Mellinger What would you say? Okay, talk to somebody who is just going in on the front end of embryo adoption when couples are doing this, understandably and there's validity to this, they're excited, they're dreaming and hoping and thinking of the possibilities of having children. What would you say to someone who's just on the front end? This possibility something they need to keep in the back of their mind the whole way? What would you two advise?  15:10 Kristi Taylor I don't think so. I don't know. I don't want to live my life waiting for the worst thing to happen. I mean, I don't want to every time I sit down to eat, think I'm going to get food poisoning or get in your car and today's the day I'm going to get in a wreck. It's possible. It's probably going to happen, but it I don't want to live my life like that. Pregnancy is an exciting thing and I think you should be excited for it, and I think that have a positive attitude about it. If it doesn't work, I mean, ice cream again, is always helpful. Put some plugs in and see if we get endorsed. I think it's always good to choose happiness, but also to give yourself grace for whatever emotion does come your way.  15:54 Jared Taylor I agree. The same way she uses some of the same references we use. Car accidents happen all the time. Bad things happen. In reality, if you're a couple that's coming to NEDC or that you're looking at adoption, you've probably been on a pretty rough road anyway. Adoption is not usually anybody's first choice. You always want to twerk, and luckily we had three biological kids, but then weren't able to have anymore, and we just felt prompted that adoption was part of it, and so that's why we just felt that we should continue to look, you can never know something if you don't go for it. If you've been put on the path to even explore the NEDC, there's probably some powers behind it, and it's not something you should go in just thinking it's going to be a perfect road. I'm sure you guys have success stories that they come in, they have their first initial consult, everything looks great, they come back for the next visit.  16:51 Jared Taylor It works. Their kids are born perfectly at 40 weeks and there's not any complications. That's just not how life works the majority of the time. If you're on the front of it, go for it. The worst that can happen is not the worst thing ever. Everything's overcomeable.  17:16 Mark Mellinger Yeah. Well said. How has going through embryo adoption affected your relationships with each other, your kids and family and your faith?  17:29 Kristi Taylor Well, I actually had fun going to Tennessee with just Jared. It was like our little kid free vacations. We talk about the different places we used to go eat, and that was fun. I think that it helped our kids that hard things happen to everybody, so I think that they've grown a lot. I mean, they were just a little when were doing all these different things, and I think it helps them have compassion for other people when they're having hard things happen to them because they realize, oh, yeah, it does happen, but we can get through it. I'm still waiting on my book club chat with God. I think there are some parts that are really good and some parts that I just don't even address yet. There how is your relationship?  18:16 Jared Taylor I think it took us to a different level that we had to be to. It was it was a blast. I mean, why in Knoxville? Make sure you go to Calhouns. The best Blazer are everything in the.  18:30 Mark Mellinger USA says it right on the sign.  18:33 Jared Taylor Yes. It was great, and we loved it. We kind of had our little routine that we got into. Unfortunately, we did have to go four times. And we had talked to Dr. King, and we probably could have done some things to have one more shot, but it just didn't feel like it was the right thing for us to do at that point. It pushed our relationship to different limits, and it makes it so that other things that come up in normal day to day sure are miniscule compared to some of the stresses that went through with that. We've now ultimately we end up getting into foster care. We adopted two little boys, and I think it's made us appreciate those.  19:19 Mark Mellinger Kids just more, talk about that journey. I mean, that's where I wanted to end it. I think that's what everybody who's listening to this is going to wonder. Was your family building journey totally over after being done with embryo adoption? You're saying no, were still about helping the most vulnerable we're going into the foster care system.  19:42 Kristi Taylor Well, I was ready to call it quits, but no, we keep going. We renewed our home city again, and we had with another agency, and we had all the whole mess of situations with traditional adoption. Probably seven months later, I was telling Jared, I was like, let's just look into foster care. I don't want to adopt from foster care, but we have a lot to offer, and our kids had a lot to offer. We got certified really quickly, and we started getting all these phone calls from case workers. Jared and I looked at each other like, what are we doing? This is really heavy stuff.  20:21 Jared Taylor Including we had a traditional adoption that fell through, too, that were actually on our way to the airport. The difficult part about traditional adoption is, like I had said earlier, it's a business. On our way, we got a phone call that the birth mom's mom had gotten involved and she wanted money. She didn't care about anything else, and she put a demand out for some money. We turned around and came back home and walked away from it. About two weeks later, were matched with two little boys that we ultimately ended up adopting. Now, granted, as Christie had said, when we started embryo adoption, it took me a long time to get on board. This time she told me, hey, we should try foster care. I was a quick, hard no because we had pretty well told God that were done. We had come to the limits.  21:18 Jared Taylor We couldn't take the stress with our kids. Our youngest, I think, was five when we started all this, or four. Our oldest was seven or eight. I was a pretty well set no. We prayed about it and we told him, no, this is not it. He very clearly answered back that were to do something and I think were one of the fastest approvals in the state for foster care. And it went very quick.  21:46 Kristi Taylor These little boys were looking for their home too. The funny thing about it is they look exactly like Jared. The ones that I bear look like Jared. The ones that we adopt look like Jared. His genes are very strong in this place. Now we have five kids and I drive a Suburban and there's no more. It's sweet.  22:07 Mark Mellinger How old were your foster adopted children when you adopted them? How old is everybody now in the family?  22:16 Kristi Taylor So we've had them for a year. Our oldest daughter, she's eleven and a half. We have a nine year old and a seven year old.  22:24 Jared Taylor Yes.  22:25 Kristi Taylor The ones we just adopted, our older one just turned five and then the baby is a year and a half.  22:31 Mark Mellinger Oh wow. Still a baby in the house as well.  22:35 Kristi Taylor Crazy. Yes.  22:36 Mark Mellinger Wow. Yeah. One and a half to nine and a half. That's a great joyous home of seven and five of them kids.  22:44 Jared Taylor That's awesome.  22:44 Mark Mellinger Now is your family building journey done or do ?  22:49 Kristi Taylor I mean our friends, our foster friends joke with us that I could drive like a twelve passenger van and I probably could but I don't think I want to. Also knowing us, I mean we can't ever say this is how it's going to go because then somebody just laughs and says, no it's not. I just tread lightly with what we say is going to happen in the future. Our daughter has four brothers and she really wants a sister. That's nice. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. I feel so old and so tired and so happy and we have five kids and we've reset to a baby again and so I think that I don't know what the future is. I'm sure it'll be good. I'm sure it'll be busy and messy.  23:41 Jared Taylor One thing in our life is we've never set specific locked in goals. We have our ultimate goals. Obviously we plan to be married for time and for all eternity. We want our family to be healthy but we don't ever lock in. This is the only way it's going to go for us. That's how were able to come upon the NADC is because we've kept our life flexible and open. That's how we've also adopted these two kids out of foster care because we've allowed ourselves to stay instruments in God's hands. Because the minute you start saying yes or no when we first got married and we start talking about how many kids do we want? I came from a family of four. Christie's a family of five. For a while three kids looked really great. A few late nights lately with a baby screaming a lot.  24:30 Jared Taylor Three kids really seemed like a really good idea. Again, I would say our kids are well traveled. They've flown a ton, in fact. It's unfortunate, but all three of our kids actually are Medallion members on Delta because we like to travel so much. Now we've got two extra kids that it's. More work, but it's been great. We talk about all the time, if we only had 3, may would do this, but at the same time, then when I came home to prepare for this tonight or today, our five year old came and jumps in your arms and just gives you a daddy. I love you so much. It just puts you into, this is what we're supposed to do. If somebody's sitting out there on the fence and NEDC wasn't in your plans, go for it.  25:20 Mark Mellinger It's priceless. Well, I love that. Your happy ending, it may not have come with us, but it did come. You have your children that you're supposed to have asterisk maybe more. But happy ending for now. And I love that. Again, I'm so thankful to you too, for sharing this hard part of your journey. It's going to help so many people. We also want to thank all of you for listening.

2018年下半年开始，这款车的销量一路下滑，与汉兰达的差距越拉越大，虽然之后价格、配置都做了调整，终端也给了不小的优惠，但是客户似乎已经对这款车没了兴趣。原因也很简单，一方面是福特那几年对于负面新闻的公关不力，另一方面也是这款车的改款换代迟迟不来，客户失去了耐心。直到2020年，福特锐界才出了小改款车型，也只是外观小改，内饰加了块很突兀的竖屏，毫无疑问地又引来了网友们一顿吐槽。直到最近两年福特再次进入大家视野，是因为新蒙迪欧这款车型，外观内饰大改，特别是中控超大的带鱼屏，让不少人还是挺心动的。更关键是15.98万的起售价，即使没有优惠，看起来也很香，全系2.0T+8AT，而且福特在驾控方面的底子还是相当不错的。新蒙迪欧的定价是被大家肯定的，那锐界L的定价为什么大家一顿吐槽呢？为什么锐界L要定这样一个价格？首先我问大家一个问题，新蒙迪欧定价得到了大家的肯定，可是销量你知道有多少吗？自去年4月份上市以来，平均月销在5000多台。比天籁差一点，但是比亚洲龙，英仕派，君威强一些。在我看来，其实这个成绩也还算可以了。毕竟前面四个合资B级车真的很难撼动：帕萨特、迈腾、雅阁、凯美瑞。但是这个成绩厂家会满意吗？我觉得不会。因为在厂家看来，我已经拿出这么有诚意的定价了，可是销量还是没看到爆发式增长。这是为什么呢？很多客户跑去丰田、本田、大众店里，发现都有2-3万甚至更多的优惠，但是来到福特店里问了蒙迪欧之后，没有或者仅有小几千优惠，客户就会立刻觉得你没有诚意。当客户离开福特店，再想回头，那就很难了。再看看湖北这一波补贴后的C6行情，这种平时谁推荐你买，你就跟他绝交的车型，竟然车企+政府补贴9万之后，把库存都卖空了。你说，换你是福特领导，你会怎么想？那干脆给锐界L正常定价吧，回头再让经销商给优惠。所以，就有了锐界L现在这个局面。为什么说这是正常定价，因为老款锐界PLUS也是22.98万起，新款锐界L等于说起售价一分钱没变，但是整车尺寸放大了一大圈，而且外观内饰大改，很多人第一眼看到这个车，都以为是福特探险者换代了。你说这车给人感官上越了一级，也不为过。而混动版锐界L起售25.98万，这个价格回到2年前，你只能买到锐界PLUS 2.0T的中配，如今这个预算你能买到一款2.0T混动，还算合理吧？另外，锐界L的竞品汉兰达混动起售价26.88万，再比一比已经停产的汉兰达2.0T曾经的定价，起售23.98万。锐界L的燃油版起售22.98万，混动版起售25.98万。正好跟汉兰达比，差价1万。有人说，福特还以为自己的锐界L可以跟汉兰达battle？差价1万，肯定无脑买汉兰达了。你别急，汉兰达目前主售的都是31.48、32.9万的版本，优惠才1万出头。你用锐界L次顶配30.98万的版本，对比汉兰达31.48万的版本，你会发现除了空间、动力都有优势，配置也是妥妥的碾压汉兰达一大截。你可能又要说，比汉兰达配置高的车多了，不是一样卖不过汉兰达。我知道，关键还是价格。那请问，在此基础上，如果你进到4s店咨询价格，发现锐界L还有3-4万的优惠，那你会心动不？为什么网友觉得锐界L的定价高了？今年是中国汽车史上价格最内卷的一年，我觉得福特高层不可能不清楚这一点，特别是锐界L的定价还是在湖北那波大降价后才放出来的，对于这个定价的判断，我的分析只有一个，就是留给经销商充足的让价空间，砸优惠让你心动。所以，网友觉得锐界L的定价高了，你问我怎么看？我直接说结论，我也觉得新车定价确实偏高。第一，是锐界L的不可替代性。大家想想，现款蒙迪欧售价只要15.98-21.88万，最低的起售价比老款便宜了2万。卖得最好的豪华型指导价17.98万，也就是和老款最低配一样的价格。现在豪华型优惠后落地约18.5万。放眼望去，同价位的合资B级轿车，有哪个有27寸的带鱼屏？哪个有2.0T高功率发动机+8AT？所以现在的蒙迪欧卖得真的不错，月销都在5-6千台。虽然和四大金刚不能比，但起码是真的把福特从死亡线上拉了回来。蒙迪欧能站得住脚，主要靠的还是这款产品的性价比，以及不可替代性。而锐界L就目前的预售价以及产品调性，在一众25-30万的中型SUV，可被对手替代的概率太高，所以后期降价是必然。第二，就是消费者的惯性思维。因为新蒙迪欧的定价，给大家造成了福特现在以价换量的局面，大家有了一种惯性思维。所以锐界L作为蒙迪欧之后的第二款重磅产品，所有人都会惯性认为，锐界L也会和蒙迪欧一样在价格上有很大的惊喜。可惜并没有，新款目前的预售价和老款一样，都是22.98万起。这就是大家吐槽最多的地方，新蒙迪欧是肉眼可见地官降了2-3万 ，那锐界L为什么不降？第三，那就是锐界L的配置太保守了。锐界L的入门车型价格没变，配置没增，大家也不能接受。大家期待的是入门即高配，可以真正用入门的预算买到锐界L的中配，这才算有诚意。可是锐界L最低配的两驱时尚版只是五座，没有前雷达、没有电动后备箱，全车也没有座椅加热，副驾驶座椅还是手动的，更没有福特新一代产品的核心卖点27英寸的带鱼屏，取而代之的是13.2英寸的小屏幕。不光是入门的配置低，25.98万的次低配两驱7座豪华型配置也很低。就拿它和25.08万的大众途观L 380TSI自动四驱R-line越享版7座，途观L比它便宜了9000元，配置比它还多了360全景影像、感应后备箱、真皮方向盘、自动防眩目内后视镜，别忘了还有一套四驱系统。更别说现在途观L还有两三万的优惠。合着29万落地的锐界L就买个屏幕？有人说不对，途锐界L应该打的是途昂才对，毕竟5米的车长，途观L才4米7几，不是一个级别？没错，车型定级你可以理解为锐界L高途观L半级，但是实际竞争关系，你敢说看锐界L的客户，不去看途观L吗？我相信途昂的客户，锐界L大概率是抢不走的。不仅如此，隔壁的别克昂科旗，看似起售29.99万，实际成交价也就在22万出头。昂科旗兄弟车型雪佛兰开拓者，25.99万的车型成交价可以做到18万多。合资都卷成这样了，国产品牌就更别提了，星途揽月16万出头就能买到。所以不管从价格还是车型配置上来说，锐界L作为福特继蒙迪欧之后的第二款重磅新车来说，从定价上来看是真的贵了。虽然目前的预售价和老款持平，但是有句成语要送给它，那就是“不降则贵”。连特斯拉、比亚迪这种年销几百万台的一线车企都降了，福特锐界L不降价，很难满足客户心理预期。那新款锐界L又有什么亮点，敢让它不降价呢？既然它敢不降价，那它到底又有什么亮点呢？总结来说那就是相比老款，有了翻天覆地的变化。第一就是外观和尺寸。新车定位不变，依旧是中型SUV，但是长宽高达到了5000/1961/1773mm，轴距2950mm，比老锐界大了整整一圈，长度增加122毫米，轴距增加100毫米。这个尺寸，车长只比理想L7、L8短了50毫米，轴距短了55毫米。外观上，新车用上了最新的家族设计语言，巨大的进气格栅还有分体式的眯眯眼大灯，基本和蒙迪欧和EVOS大差不差。来到侧面，新车用上了隐藏式门把手，也是当下流行的时尚元素。不过C柱的位置是整车外观争议最大的地方，平平的线条突然多了一个突起，本来锐界L整体线条方方正正的，并且用的是双色车身，而那块突起就让新车的侧面很不协调。我猜设计师应该是借鉴了某日系MPV的侧面设计，不过这是SUV，那是MPV，也没什么可值得可借鉴的。车尾部分，用上了时髦的贯穿式设计，但中间部分是LOGO，尾灯在两侧，所以不是贯穿式尾灯，远看有点林肯飞行家的影子。第二就是内饰。不过这套内饰对消费者而言也见怪不怪了，12.3英寸液晶仪搭配27英寸超大的带鱼屏，挡把的造型也很有科技感。值得说的是，新款锐界L终于不再只有全黑这一种内饰配色了，还有一款米色内饰，中控台、门把手和座椅也都大面积用上了白色，确实要洋气不少。但是它是白色，并不耐脏，而且浅色的内饰只有白色这一款，其他都是清一色的黑色。所以厂家有听取消费者的意见，但也不多。在座椅配置方面，除了5座版本外，7座版本有223也有232的布局。官方目前对外宣传的都是223布局的版本，因为第二排两个独立座椅，可以电动调节， 还带腿拖，官方可能觉得是一大卖点。但奇怪的是，我在查询配置的时候发现，低配仍然是232布局，只有燃油顶配，混动顶配和次低配才是223布局。而且低配好像还不能选装223布局，如果真的是这样，我估计会让大批客户失望。所以，一定要让低配客户可以选装223布局，或者干脆可以免费更换成223布局，这样才能增加一些竞争力。第三，动力系统的全面升级。目前新锐界L推出了两款动力总成。一个是纯燃油版，用的是第五代ECOBOOST2.0T发动机，最大马力252匹，最大扭矩378牛·米，匹配8AT变速箱。虽然马力很大，但是只要加92号汽油即可，和老款一样。重点来了，锐界L也是首次用上了福特全新的混动系统，这套系统采用了动力分流技术，由一套行星齿轮机构将发动机和发电机进行耦合，从而在功率的输入端实现功率分流。是不是觉得这个原理似曾相识？没错，就是和丰田的THS的原理一样。这不是丰田的专利吗？那福特没有侵权吗？是，但并没有侵权。因为福特早在2004年的时候就混动的开发和丰田合作过，引入了丰田大约20多项专利，其中就包括刚才说的用来功率分流的行星齿轮机构。可能有不少人会觉得之前很少听说有搭载混动的福特，只能说在国内很少有。其实在2004年的时候，福特就推出了第一款混动车型Escape，也就是零几年进口到国内的翼虎。这是北美市场第一款混动SUV，也是美国车企生产的第一台混动车型。光2004年下半年短短几个月，混动Escape的销量达到了约1.7万辆。新款锐界L混动用的是第5代2.0T EcoBoost单涡轮双涡流增压直喷发动机。这台发动机配备了进气道（PFI）和缸内（DI）双直喷系统，可根据不同工况切换喷油方式。最大马力275匹，最大扭矩405牛·米，百公里加速7.1秒。同时，锐界L这套电驱系统是福特自研的高速扁线油冷双电机，发电机和电动机都采用了先进的扁线绕组技术。此外，该系统还采用了比亚迪全新低镍NCM111三元锂水冷电池组。所以混动锐界L的WLTC百公里油耗为6.31升，官方说一箱油续航能超过一千公里。此外，锐界L混动的四驱系统和丰田混动的还不一样，丰田混动四驱都是E-Four，原理是发动机驱动前轮，电动机在后桥驱动后轮，前后桥之间没有硬连接，所以没有传动轴。但是锐界L混动四驱版却搭载的是一套带有传动轴的真四驱。按照官方说法，虽然这套真四驱会带来更加复杂的结构和控制逻辑，但机械四驱系统能承受更强的负荷，带来更好的通过性。所以在官方看来，锐界L处处都是亮点和特点。而且除了产品本身的成本以外，新锐界L用上了新的发动机和混动系统，这些的前期研发都要投入大量的经费和时间，所以官方认为新款不涨价就已经是在变相降价了。你们说对吗？而且，锐界L不像蒙迪欧一样有降价的空间，老款蒙迪欧和福克斯之间有将近3万的价格空白，即便是现在14.58万的福克斯顶配和15.98万蒙迪欧最低配之间也还有1.4万的价格空白，这也就是为什么马上蒙迪欧要出1.5T版本了。且福特目前就三款轿车，福睿斯、福克斯和蒙迪欧。但是锐界L就不一样了，下有锐际16.98-22.18万，所以锐界L的价格再降也低不到哪里去。别忘了它上还有探险者30.98万起，左还有EVOS 19.98-25.98万。因此它降价的话锐际怎么办？探险者怎么办？EVOS怎么办？确实是牵一发而动全身，索性价格也不动了。和竞品该怎么选？回到一开头的问题上，预算20-30万，你会买什么7座SUV？我相信绝大部分人都不会考虑福特锐界L。这是为什么？第一，如果都是选择蓝牌的HEV混动，相信很多人会无脑选丰田汉兰达。没错，凭借着多年的口碑积累，再加上丰田的品牌和THS混动招牌，汉兰达已经成为30万左右合资7座SUV的典型代表。虽然锐界L混动的动力很强，但是真正想买混动的人图的就是油耗低，人家不要你动力强，也不管你是不是真四驱。真想要动力强我宁可买纯燃油或者纯电了。在数据上，锐界L混动WLTC百公里油耗达到了6.31升。而丰田汉兰达呢，NEDC百公里油耗只有5.3升。所以看似锐界L处处针对汉兰达，但是没有一个重点戳中想买汉兰达人的心。第二，如果选纯燃油，可能还有不少德系粉会想到买大众途观L 7座版。同样都是合资中型SUV，售价和锐界L燃油版差不多，但是途观L配置更高。你可能会说途观L对比锐界L小不少，但客户会说够用就行了。再加上国人和大众长达几十年的交情，所以很多不喜欢日系产品的的都去买了途观L 7座版。现在途观L还有不错的优惠，所以锐界L次低配的裸车价25.98万就能全款落地大众途观L高功率高配四驱7座版，你说锐界L还有竞争力吗？第三，那就是来自新能源车的压力。首当其冲的就是上期刚聊过的比亚迪唐DM-i，新款冠军版起售价只要20.98万，虽然中控屏没锐界L那么大，但是人家可以旋转，横屏竖屏都能玩。全系还标配FSD可变阻尼悬挂，在底盘质感上就算没有物理加成，至少也有心理加成。再说个更尴尬的，既然锐界L混动用的是比亚迪的电池，那我不如花更少的钱直接买比亚迪的车好了，唐DM-i又省购置税，还是绿牌不限行，怎么看都要更香。再有，既然你锐界L混动版的顶配都到31.98万，落地肯定都要35万了，有这钱给我一个不买理想L8的理由？首先L8的硬件要更强，比如更强的动力，百公里加速5.5秒，前悬挂是双叉臂。其次，L8的配置也要更高，锐界L顶配连座椅通风都没有，而L8全系标配第一第二排座椅加热、通风、按摩，第三排座椅加热。第二排还有屏幕，能连SWITCH。况且后排还有冰箱。所以同样的落地价格L8完爆锐界L顶配。因此，不得不说理想L8带给了客户这个价位独一无二的消费体验，很多本打算花30万不到买传统燃油车的消费者在看到理想之后，都愿意多花几万下定理想L系列。所以看来看去，新锐界L虽然浑身都是亮点。但是相比于它的价格，又浑身没什么惊喜，很难让人有刷卡的欲望。你说对吗？作者丨三刀、新一编辑丨新一可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

本文章首发订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注。不知道今年的你们有没有一种感觉，之前老说全面电动化，电车要推翻燃油车的地位，这话放在2021年，肯定还会有很多人说还早呢，过两年我再买电车。但是今年，感觉电车的时代真的要来了。尤其是在今年年初的时候特斯拉大降价的时候，弄得新能源市场集体跟着降价。特斯拉一降价，那周围的新势力肯定也要跟着降，即便不降也会通过增配或者送东西来变相降价。这下好，大家都去买新能源了，燃油车怎么办？所以东风大促销的源头之一其实就在特斯拉降价。当然了，特斯拉降价影响最大的还是同级竞品，就比如小鹏汽车，网友不都说，小鹏是特斯拉最好的学生。而且提到新势力大家可能都会想到“蔚小理”这三个品牌。这个放在几年前肯定是没错的，因为那时候能选的车型也很少。但是在2023年的今天，能选的车型就很多了，所以特点没有很鲜明的品牌可能不会成为大家的首选。从去年以来，小鹏汽车的销量虽然有增长，但是和其他新势力相比，还是有差距的。比如在2022年，小鹏全年累计交付量为120757辆，同比增长23%，但是相比2022年初定下的25万辆目标差了很远，只完成了48%，连一半都没有。去年小鹏可是上市了一款全新产品G9，也依然没有对销量起到很大的促进作用。目前它的主销车型还是P7，正好最近新款小鹏P7i上市了，售价24.99-33.99万。价格一出来网友都直呼好家伙，人家特斯拉官降5万，你小鹏却涨价4万？哪来的底气？一个“i”值4万？所以今天我们就来好好聊聊小鹏P7i这车和老款P7有哪些区别，新款价格到底贵不贵？以及小鹏销量掉队的原因有哪些？小鹏P7i和老款P7有哪些区别？新款价格到底贵不贵？新款小鹏P7i是P7的中期改款车型，定位中型纯电轿车。新款P7i长宽高4888/1896/1450毫米，轴距2998毫米，相比老款车型只有车身长度增加了8毫米。在外观上，新款P7i和老款比也没有太大变化，车头车尾依旧是分体大灯再加贯穿灯带的设计。不过大灯的内部结构发生了变化，新款P7i取消了一组灯组，取而代之的是2颗126线激光雷达。侧面线条也没有任何区别，只是把侧窗条弄成了黑色，换了更大的新轮圈而已，尺寸为245/45 R19。车尾部分，尾灯经过了加大，除此之外几乎无任何变化。内饰上，P7i整体和老款也没有太大变化，依旧是双辐平底方向盘、10.25英寸全液晶仪表盘、14.96英寸中控屏，只是在扶手箱部分有所改进，增加了斜向设计的手机无线充电板以及可升降杯托。新车在杯托下方也留出了更大的储物空间。扶手箱也改成了侧向开启，内部还配有香氛系统。另外，P7i还在前后排均配备了充电功率为60瓦的USB Type-C接口，官方说是可以支持手机、电脑等多种设备充电。以上就是P7i看得见的变化。难道说就因为这几样看得见的东西让P7i价格涨了4万？肯定不止，比如车机用上了高通骁龙8155芯片，搭载的Xmart OS 4.0车机系统的功能也比老款更多，有全场景语音2.0系统。据说首次应用了MIMO多音区技术，可以支持乘客从上车到下车的全时对话，且不需要任何唤醒词。同时在四音区识别的基础上，可以支持声源定向与声源分离，支持车内4人同时对话，互不干扰。P7i的高配还有18个扬声器的丹拿音响，说是支持7.1.4多声道音乐系统和杜比全景声技术，可以实现车内座椅、音响、氛围灯、香氛系统的联动等骚操作。在座椅上，P7i使用了多层复合慢回弹海绵填充，坐起来要更软。且前排座椅的肩部高度得到优化，后排座椅的坐垫得到加长，靠背倾角也调整至28度等。在动力上P7i也有所提升，后驱的普通版车型搭载一台最大功率203千瓦、峰值扭矩440牛·米的永磁同步电机，百公里加速6.4秒。四驱性能版增加了一台感应异步电机来驱动前轮，综合最大马力473匹，最大扭矩757牛·米，百公里加速3.9秒。在电池上，P7i全系采用了86.2度的中创新航三元锂电池，普通版CLTC续航702公里，性能版CLTC续航610公里。此外，P7i最重要的变化还在于智能辅助驾驶系统上。据说P7i在搭载了第二代智能辅助驾驶系统XNGP后，智能驾驶芯片的算力从30 TOPS直接升到了508TOPS，可以实现全场景智能辅助驾驶。那什么是全场景智能辅助驾驶？按照小鹏汽车官方的定义，它是指用户基于普通地图发起导航后，车辆从起点停车位到终点停车位全程使用辅助驾驶，包括停车位泊出，到城市道路、高速/快速路，再到抵达目的地最终泊入车位的全场景打通。说白了，就是支持城市里A点到B点的驾驶场景。这不就是我们所理解的完全自动驾驶吗？但是别高兴太早，小鹏汽车官方也说了：城市NGP不是完全自动驾驶，属于辅助驾驶功能，驾驶员需实时对行车状况进行监控，在需要驾驶员接管的环境下，驾驶员需全权负责车辆的驾驶安全。这不就是免责声明吗？而且这套城市XNGP目前仅支持广州、深圳和上海三座城市。对于没有高精地图支持的城市，目前只能实现识别直行红绿灯启停和跨线绕行障碍功能。等于说搞了半天能开启的条件非常有限。所以综合来说，P7i最主要的大变化在电池和自动驾驶辅助系统上，现在全系都是86.2度的三元锂电池。要说新款价格贵不贵，还真的从两方面说起。如果单从产品力上看，P7i虽然最低售价涨了4万元，但是电池容量多了26度，老款NEDC续航480公里，新款CLTC续航702公里。而且新款配置还多了L2级驾驶辅助、电吸门、电动感应后备箱、对外放电、哨兵模式、方向盘加热、第二排座椅加热、高精地图、面部识别、8155芯片、热泵空调等等，这么多下来成本肯定不止4万。这么看P7i并不是涨价了，而是取消了低配和低续航版本，入门即高配、长续航了，因此给人的错觉是它涨价了而已。所以新款的价格贵不贵，就看针对的是哪类用户了。如果是那些准备买低配P7或者持币观望想够一够P7的消费者来说，24.99万的起售价确实更贵了。因为他们不图P7的配置有多高，更不图它的智能驾驶有多强，他们就是看中了P7的设计和价格，本来20万出头就能搞定的事现在非要多花4万，那肯定不干了。但是对于本打算买高配P7的消费者来说反而是好事，尤其是本打算买同是24.99万的2022款P7 625E的用户来说，就是加量不加价，动力更高、续航更远、配置更高、还更智能了，简直划算到家了。你说对吗？配置该怎么选？和竞品该怎么选？如果有朋友之前看过老款小鹏P7，他肯定会发现，这款产品在配置定义上有个问题。首先是P7的智能化程度，还没有P5先进。你可能会觉得，P5上市晚于P7很正常。但其实在新能源领域，这是不正常的。我觉得根本原因是小鹏的产品定义逻辑，不像传统车企。小鹏不是按照一款车的尺寸，级别，豪华感来定义内部的高低层级，而是通过智能化来定义产品层级。小鹏一直给自己定的标签是“科技”，而科技的核心是在智能驾驶辅助方面，所以P5刚上市的时候，把激光雷达版本定在了20万以内的价位，实际上厂家是非常希望这款车能撑起销量的。但是另一方面，小鹏又在产品配置层面出现了比较大的失误。比如卖得最好的P7车型，其实最跑量的版本还是在磷酸铁锂电池版上市之后，真正拉低了售价，销量才开始爆发。这说明买小鹏P7的客户，还是冲着性价比。但是小鹏在产品宣传过程中，最吸引人的5D音乐座舱，XNGP智能驾驶辅助系统，空气悬挂，这些全部是选装，不仅费用不低，都是2万多一项，且最低配置还不给客户选装，这就让客户非常不爽。再反观隔壁的蔚来系列产品，他的核心配置都是标配，只是在外观颜色，轮毂款式，超纤绒内饰等方面给用户选装。说白了，30万级的消费者，都默认自己买的是豪车。小鹏的选装车主是真喜欢，但是真没钱。而蔚来的选装，我不选只是我不喜欢，并不是我没钱。再聊聊最新款的小鹏P7i，目前新款小鹏P7i的配置只有4个，分别是后驱版的中配、高配和性能版的中配、高配。其中702的PRO和MAX的两万元只差在了智能驾驶辅助上，也就是我刚才说的XNGP系统上。所以我推荐直接买最低配的PRO就够了，基本的L2级驾驶辅助也都有，完全够用，舒适和豪华配置也都一样。但是在性能版上，我更推荐直接买33.99万的鹏翼性能版，因为就冲着原厂鹏翼门也值了，而且还可以自动开闭，每次上下车鹏翼门一展开，你就是街上最靓的仔。此外还有丹拿音响、悬架软硬调节，这两个就当送的。所以说P7i反而是顶配最有特点，其余的三款配置的可替代性太强了。论操控肯定不如特斯拉MODEL 3、比亚迪海豹、智己L7，论尺寸和空间比不过比亚迪汉EV和极氪001，论颜值不如蔚来ET5和哪吒S，论性价比更是不如深蓝SL03和零跑C01。尤其是零跑C01，新款直接官降大几万，特别是四驱性能版，从原来的28.68万降到了22.88万，确实够狠。所以看来看去，P7i还就是顶配的鹏翼版更有特色。为什么小鹏的销量会掉队？一句话总结小鹏的处境，那就是起了个大早，赶了个晚集。为什么这么说？首先是因为推出产品的顺序无疑是杂乱无章的。第一款车是G3,第二款是P7，然后是P5，再到G9，可以说成也时机，败也时机。要知道小鹏P7在2020年4月上市后非常火，凭借一己之力把小鹏这个品牌推向了新势力的巅峰。如果没有P7，也没有现在的小鹏。说实话，G3P7P5G9你跟我说这是四家企业造的四款不同的车，我都信。蔚来的一二代产品代际关系很清晰，理想从理想ONE换代到L789也很清晰。但是小鹏并没有很好地抓住P7给它带来的巅峰时机，因为G9推出的太晚了，两年前就该推出了。那时候还没有理想ONE，特斯拉MODEL Y也没有国产。多好的时机，却推出了个定位更低的小鹏P5。所以如果把P5和G9的发布顺序换一下，相信小鹏现在的局面也会不一样，至少比现在要好。除了产品更新节奏慢，我们还会发现一个问题。小鹏主打的科技这张牌，并没有深入消费者心理，因为并没有与对手拉开差距。但是蔚来主打圈层营销，车主的忠诚度都非常的高。而理想主打“家”的概念，奶爸看到这款车就走不动路。因此，小鹏品牌不仅是产品力不足的问题，品牌的营销宣传层面，也出了很大问题。其次，产品定位出现了严重偏差，就比如小鹏P5，它的出现非但没有给P7带来助攻，相反还浇灭了不少消费者对于小鹏品牌的热情。一个前置前驱的紧凑级A级轿车售价17.79-24.29万，中高配卖得比大哥P7还贵，网友都直呼小鹏飘了。它既没有在设计上达到P7的新颖，在性价比上也没有符合那个价位消费者的预期。如果整体售价下降2-3万，让P5顶配的价格正好和P7的最低配衔接上，那效果又会不一样。而且在后期G9上市的时候这个问题依然存在，小鹏G9这款车被宣传为50万以内最好的SUV，但是刚上市的时候几乎所有的卖点都要加钱选装，网友都纷纷指责小鹏汽车“没诚意”、“31万的车，竟然没有L2级辅助驾驶，只有一个定速巡航，真是天大的笑话”等。所以大家后来也看到了，上市第二天就官方降价，这在中国汽车发展史上，都非常罕见。走科技路线成本高，可是品牌号召力又很弱。举个例子，小鹏主打800v快充，但是目前这个技术并没有完全落地，虽然规划2025年全国会有3000个快充桩，可现在花真金白银买车的客户，就体验不到这个技术。也就是说，车的科技能力，没有转换成购买力。有800v快充功能的电动车，成本可是比对手高得多，谁来买单呢？还有小鹏的5D音乐座舱，据说光是为这一个功能，小鹏就有100多人的开发团队。还有小鹏的语音交互功能，其实也比同级竞品优化的好一些，可是这都不是客户能直接下单的理由。其实这就像芯片行业，做一款芯片并不难，难的是做一个能赚钱的芯片。可能很多人说到小鹏会想到智能驾驶，但是真正买小鹏的车主里，有多少人真的是冲着它的智能去下单的？就比如卖得最好的P7，有多少人是冲着智能驾驶去的？所以消费者对智能驾驶的感知并不强，就像大家都考了90多分，你考97分，差别不大。但是反观蔚来、理想和特斯拉，服务、换电在日常生活中都是能用得到的，大屏、冰箱也都是触手可及的，一夜之间大降价也是能瞬间让你上头，有占了便宜的快感，不管怎么样都是在整活。而小鹏这个品牌既缺少话题性，也缺少像李斌、理想这样出色的产品经理。说白了，大家都在想方设法地整活，你却在一门心思研究智能驾驶，那我只能祝你好运。写在最后其实P7i的上市是个很好的转折点，按我的思路，直接给P7整活。本来P7就是款很运动的轿跑车，走的就是颜值路线。那好办，就算外观内饰不变，直接全系双电机四驱，像蔚来那样。而且它本来就有鹏翼门版，那索性直接来个全系标配鹏翼门，让它成为500万内最帅的四门轿跑车。连法拉利保时捷都没有的鹏翼门，我小鹏P7全系标配，噱头不就这么搞出来了吗？当初特斯拉MODEL X和高合HiPhi X为什么会出圈，不就是靠着两扇门吗？而且他们还都还只是后门，只有后排乘客上下车的时候才能看到。但是你小鹏P7的鹏翼门是在前排的，你每次上下车都能用得上，虚荣心绝对能得到大大的满足。就算不是标配你也给个选配，价格也不能太贵，两三千块走个形式也会好很多。此外，小鹏的飞行汽车要到2024年才量产，先用鹏翼门给它先预热一波，话题度不就来了吗？要想销量好，得让更多的人先看到你才行。现在的P7i只有顶配才有鹏翼门，也不能选装，噱头就这么没了。而且起售价还贵了4万，谁还看你？这就和比亚迪秦PLUS DM-i形成了鲜明的对比，甭管消费者能不能买得到，我先官方降价再说，等产能上来我再卖，起码让消费者先看到我的态度再说下一步该怎么做。所以综合来说，小鹏汽车如果再这么执着下去，既没有话题性，也没有让消费者产生共鸣，且按照研发成本极高的智能驾驶一条路走到黑，那留给他的时间就真的不多了。作者丨三刀、新一编辑丨新一可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

Dr Beth Shelton is a psychologist and long-time director of the National Eating Disorder Collaboration (NEDC), leading a team that develops national standards for preventing and treating eating disorders and works actively to build the system of care. As a highly respected professional in the field, we asked Beth to explain the different diagnoses for eating disorders, the possible causes, and what she believes constitutes “normal” eating. First, Beth makes one thing clear:  An eating disorder is a mental illness with serious physical and mental health consequences for the person affected. It causes a lot of dysfunction and suffering. Though there are several separate diagnoses for eating disorders, they are more similar than they are different. Absent recovery, many people move from one form to another. Different eating disorders often manifest from similar risk factors, for example, genetics or psychological profiles. She also confirms that these conditions do not discriminate. We too often default to thinking about an overly thin teenage girl, but an eating disorder can affect anyone; we don't see it. An eating disorder is also not a choice – perhaps beginning a diet to lose weight initially may be a conscious decision, but once the eating disorder takes hold, the person affected has lost control of their health and needs support. Beth puts it best: “No one I've ever worked with or spoken to about an eating disorder would ever choose one or choose one for anyone else.” Fortunately, she and numerous others in the sector are working tirelessly to help, not only for those with lived experience but for their loved ones and carers too.

Last month we asked DEQ staff: how do you ensure facilities follow environmental laws? We learned a lot about how complaints get processed, when DEQ goes out to inspect facilities and how that can lead to enforcement and fines. This month, we're talking about that enforcement process. Lauren and Dylan talk with DEQ enforcement staff, EPA enforcement staff and the Northwest Environmental Defense Center to learn about DEQ enforcement actions. We discuss how DEQ figures out what amount to fine violators, how DEQ and EPA enforcement work together and the ways NEDC advocates for environmental issues through litigation.

“It's not like God's just going to drop a check in our lap,” Naomi thought. Then, actually, He did, through some generous friends who -as they handed them the check- told her and Michael, “This is for you to one day hold a baby in your arms.” We're wrapping up Season Two of The Embryo Adoption Podcast with Michael and Naomi's encouraging story of the special gift that enabled them to pursue embryo adoption (and now has them holding not just one, but TWO baby boys in their arms!).

It's incredibly important for families going through embryo adoption or embryo donation to have a “safe space” where they can connect, ask questions, swap stories, and share information. That's why the NEDC Embryo Adoption/Donation Group on Facebook is such a blessing. If you've walked either route with the NEDC, or are currently in process, you should join! In this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast, administrators Bethany Piechowski and Julie Garber take a deep dive into what the group's all about and how it can make a difference for you. Some helpful time stamps are below: :53 History of the group and how it formed 2:25 Purpose of the group 5:41 How administrators work to make sure only people who meet the criteria are accepted into the group 7:21 Most common topics discussed among members in the group 9:33 How God has worked in beautiful ways through the group 12:46 What the group is not for 15:06 Why it's important to have a “safe” discussion space outside the official NEDC purview 20:46 How & why administrators of the group maintain a connection to the NEDC Like what you're hearing?

If you choose to do an open embryo adoption through the National Embryo Donation Center, how do you work out contact with the family on the other end of the match? The answer: Through something called an Open Donation Agreement, or ODA. Here's your chance to learn all about that. Plus: Why do adopting NEDC families need to have their home studies reviewed? Lauren Wilson and Amy Ferguson from our partners at Flourish Consulting LLC are giving detailed insight into these parts of the process in this episode of The Embryo Adoption Podcast.
