How it works

Embryo adoption, one gentle step at a time

The basics of how it works, and what we ask of adopting couples — with our team beside you for every step.

You are right — this is a wonderful way to add to your family

You are interested in having a child or children, and this seems like a great way to have a baby. Many couples who seek us out have not been able to have children — and this option is just as available to families with a child or children who would like to have more.

A central decision

What contact would you like with the placing family?

This decision affects the child for the rest of his or her life. It can evolve and change — and frequently does — but it must be agreed upon by both families, and it shapes which families you can be matched with. We can discuss it with you; you do not have to decide now.

Our conviction

We believe every embryo is a human life

When thawing and transferring embryos, we ask that no more embryos be transferred than the woman is willing to carry — no more than two at a time, unless they are already frozen in straws of three. Recent findings suggest transferring one embryo can have very similar live-birth rates to transferring more than one; you can discuss this with your fertility doctor. Multiple births are not desirable, due to increased risk to the children and to the mother.

You will receive all the embryos the placing family has, so siblings may have the chance to be born in one household if at all possible — and you are not responsible for any embryos still remaining once your family is complete. We handle all the paperwork and remain the liaison between your families.
