Embryos Alive

Embryos Alive was created to offer families a compassionate, life-affirming option for embryos remaining in frozen storage. Through an ethical embryo adoption model, Embryos Alive connects placing families with adopting families who are prepared to receive embryos, attempt pregnancy, and give birth to their adopted child.

Embryo adoption through Embryos Alive follows adoption-centered best practices, emphasizing dignity, intentionality, and care for everyone involved — including the child, the placing family, and the adopting family.

Adopting families undergo frozen embryo transfers (FETs) with embryos placed in their care and experience pregnancy and childbirth as part of their adoption journey.

To safeguard the well-being of all parties, Embryos Alive requires a comprehensive adoption home study. This process educates and prepares the adopting family while providing reassurance to placing families that their embryos are being entrusted to a thoroughly screened and supported home.

Embryos Alive operates as an embryo adoption program rather than an embryo donation program through a fertility clinic. While clinic-based donation programs primarily focus on medical treatment, embryo adoption considers the lifelong social, emotional, and relational impact on the child and both families.

Embryo adoption encourages transparency and openness, giving children born through this process the opportunity to understand their biological origins and maintain appropriate connections when mutually desired. In contrast, embryo donation programs often emphasize anonymity and limited information exchange.
