Embyro Adoption
Building Families Together
What Is Embryo Adoption?
Frozen embryos are a source of hope for couples, like you, who are trying to have children. Whether you hope to have your first child or add more children to your family, embryo adoption offers the opportunity to experience pregnancy and give birth. Embryo adoption is truly an amazing adoption choice.
Using donated embryos may be the right way to build your family if:
- You and/or your partner are infertile
- You and/or your partner are concerned about or at a high risk of passing on genetic disorders to your potential offspring
- You and/or your partner have had recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) failures
- You and/or your partner are looking for an alternative to infertility treatments such as IVF or donor egg recipient IVF
- You and your partner have concerns about the high cost of IVF or the creation of more human embryos
