Your embryo donation or adoption story will encourage other families

Why does telling your story help? When you share your embryo donation or adoption journey the reader is thinking about their own situation. Your infertility experience may be similar. It helps them begin to consider how embryo donation or adoption might be the right choice for them.

One in eight couples in U.S. have been diagnosed with some form of infertility.

The Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program provides families with remaining embryos with a life-giving option and the ability to actually choose the family who will receive their embryos.

There are over 1,000,000 embryos in frozen storage in the U.S. Are some of them yours? Everyday the Snowflakes program has families call who are willing to adopt your embryos.

Did you know?

The program name "Snowflakes" was chosen because each embryo is unique and frozen, just like a snowflake. Each embryo has the potential to become a beloved child.
