Embyro Adoption

What Does It Cost?

Cost of Embryo Adoption

Compared to domestic or international adoptions, in vitro fertilization (IVF), or egg donation, embryo adoption is often a more affordable family-building option.

In most cases, the adopting family is responsible for the fees associated with embryo adoption. Donating families do not receive compensation for their embryos and should not expect the adopting family to reimburse any past IVF expenses. However, embryo donors may need to cover the cost of FDA-required infectious disease testing in order to donate.

Any storage fees incurred before a match are typically the donor family’s responsibility. Once a match is made, the adopting family may be asked to take over ongoing storage costs.
