Two families, one gift
For the adopting family…
You are interested in having a child or children, and this seems like a great way to have a baby. You are right — this is a wonderful way to add to your family, even if you already have children. We will handle all your paperwork, ship the embryos to your doctor, and be the liaison between you and the donating family for life.

For the donating family…
If you have remaining embryos stored in the freezer with your doctor, it can pose a dilemma. Perhaps you have your cherished child or children, and you have remaining embryos in the freezer. Right now, you have four options for your remaining embryos:

- Discard the embryos.
- Donate the embryos for embryonic stem cell research, if they are eligible.
- Donate the embryos to another family anonymously, or make them available for embryo adoption where the family could be known to you on some level of contact. Semi-open can work well — you would know each other on a first-name basis.
The kind of contact between the families is decided by the donor family:
