Cincinnati Adoption Agency Invited to Participate in Values Voter Presidential Debate

    Embryos Alive Founder Bonnie Bernard Attending Prestigious Political
Forum in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

    CINCINNATI, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An Ohio businesswoman
who founded a human embryo adoption agency has been invited to participate
in the upcoming Values Voter Presidential Debate, scheduled for Sept. 17 in
Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Bonnie Bernard of Embryos Alive will attend this
political forum as an expert on the topic of frozen embryos and their
viability as human life.

    The Presidential Debate has been organized by Values Voters
(http://www.ValuesVoter.org), a conservative, grassroots organization that
promotes Christian values and Constitutional rights as the preferred method
of governing in America. Key to the Values Voter mission is the right to
life debate, which Bernard has made both her personal and professional
crusade.

    Embryos Alive (http://www.EmbryosAlive.com) is based in Cincinnati and matches
human embryo donors with screened, approved parents for open, agency
liaison, and closed adoption.

    "Human embryos need a voice in this election, and I am pleased to serve
in that capacity," Bernard said.

    Bernard will be joined by videotape by Indiana couple Gary and Ronda
Hubbard, parents of 2-year-old Joshua and 5-month-old Rachel, two children
they adopted as frozen embryos from Embryos Alive. The Hubbards were unable
to personally attend the Ft. Lauderdale debate, so their remarks were
videotaped by a local TV crew for airing during the actual forum.

    "The Hubbard family is living and loving proof that human embryos can
not be randomly discarded like yesterday's science project," Bernard states
emphatically. "These two beautiful kids are here because their donor
parents made the loving choice to nurture and protect them."

    Bernard is eager to both observe and learn what the candidates have to
say on this important voter issue.

    "I am very interested in hearing our candidates' positions on these
emotionally charged issues," Bernard said. "Further, I hope to explore the
topic of 'frosties' or 'totsicles' -- both terms used to define the
estimated 250,000 frozen embryos now in storage at reproductive clinics
across the country."

    The Values Voter Presidential Debate will be televised nationally at
7:30pm ET on September 17. Check local listings for network broadcast near
