Where to Donate Your Frozen Embryos

Most families who undergo in vitro fertilization treatments will eventually face the question of what to do with their leftover embryos. They may decide that the only choice they can live with is to donate those embryos to a family who desires to have children and give those embryos a chance at the life they were created to have. You’ll want to find a clinic or adoption agency who will accept your donor embryos and help match them to a waiting family. There are several options available to you.

You’ll find a complete list of adoption agencies and fertility clinics with donation programs on our website. As you explore the options for their donor embryos, you’ll find that not all agencies have the same requirements for donor embryos. The key is to find one that’s right for your particular situation and your embryos. Visit their websites and check out the guidelines for donation and see if your embryos will meet their requirements. Some agencies, such as Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program, will take embryos without exception; if you only have one embryo remaining or your embryos have been frozen for 10 years, all are accepted by Snowflakes.

Many clinics around the country have families who are waiting for more embryos to be donated. You could be helping make a couple’s dream of parenthood come true. Many donors remember the pain of infertility and waiting for the news that they would be parents. They're excited to help someone else achieve that dream.
