Embryo Adoption

Embryo adoption is a unique family building option that allows couples to give birth to their adopted child.  It is adoption that takes place at the earliest stage of life possible.  There are estimated to be approximately 600,000 embryos in frozen storage that were created by couples through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Some of the couples who created these embryos have completed their families and want to donate their remaining embryos to couples who want to adopt them.

Family Life Services has partnered with the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program to help raise awareness for embryo adoption and prepare families for embryo adoption.  Almost 1,300 babies have been born through the Snowflakes Program, and families are awaiting a loving couple to adopt their waiting embryos.

Family Life Services also performs home studies for families pursuing an embryo adoption through the National Embryo Donation Center.    There have been over 1,525 babies born through the NEDC’s program.  Whatever embryo adoption path you take, our agency is happy to work with you to complete the home study.

Family Life Services completes home studies and embryo adoption education as the first step toward an embryo adoption. We do not handle the actual embryo donation or adoption.
