Dear Meagen,

I’m sorry to hear about your struggles with infertility, but it sounds like embryo adoption might be a great option for your situation.

The Awareness Center has several brochures on Embryo Adoption that will help to give you an idea of the process and will answer some basic questions. In the meantime, below is a brief overview of the steps occurring in the process of embryo adoption. Keep in mind, the process can vary depending on the program you are working with. We have a list of all embryo adoption agencies on our website.

1.      The first step in embryo adoption is to check with your OB/Gyn or Fertility Specialist to see if you are able to carry a pregnancy to term.
2.      Evaluate the embryo adoption providers and select the agency/organization you would like to partner with for your adoption.
3.       Complete the agency's application.
4.       Select a clinic/physician for the medical procedures.
5.       Select a home study provider and complete a home study.
6.       Review matches presented by agency and agree to a match.
7.       Complete legal contracts.
8.       Embryos ship to chosen clinic.
9.       Schedule frozen embryo transfer (FET) with physician.
10.   If the embryo implants, wait approximately nine months for a baby.

If you have any additional questions, or anything else I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Best of luck in the process.
