In this Client Agreement Amendment (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement"), Clients are requesting to switch their consulting services from Domestic Infant Adoption to Embryo Adoption with Christian Adoption Consultants, LLC (hereinafter referred to as "CAC"). By electronically signing below, Clients understand and agree to the terms of this Agreement.

Terms:
Clients understand this Agreement is in effect for the remaining time left under their current CAC Agreement and for the purpose of a frozen embryo transfer (FET). Clients may request to extend their services through a Contract Renewal for an additional 6 months for an additional fee if approved. Clients also understand that CAC agrees to provide consulting services until Clients have a successful frozen embryo transfer through an *embryo adoption, or until their current Agreement term expires, whichever occurs first.

*For Clients choosing CAC’s Embryo Adoption Program, embryo adoption is considered complete for the purposes of this agreement at the time of successful frozen embryo transfer (with a subsequent positive hCG test). Additional support services can be purchased for an additional fee if needed.

Definition:
Embryo “adoption” is neither legally nor technically considered an adoption. It is governed by contract (ownership) law versus traditional adoption law. Adoption is defined as the placement of a child after birth who is not genetically your child, but is a term most people can relate to when discussing receiving donated embryos for the purposes of reproduction. For the purposes of this agreement, embryo adoption will be the terminology used when referring to the legal transfer of frozen embryos from the donors (also referred to as placing family) to the adoptive couple (also referred to as the receiving family).

During the Term, CAC will provide the selected services (the “Services”). IL and OR Residents ONLY: Please note that your adoption consulting services will be provided through Hope for Adoption (HFA), a licensed, approved adoption agency that has partnered with CAC to offer consulting services. HFA contracts adoption consulting services through CAC to meet and exceed Illinois and Oregon state standards. The application process is virtually the same, the fees are the same, and the service is the same- you are just contracting for services through the additional partnership between HFA and CAC. HFA is not providing home study or placement services through this agreement and is not liable for the outcome of the adoption process. Client(s) understand that local, state, or federal laws and agency policies and procedures can change at any time and HFA/CAC is not liable for these changes.

DISCLOSURES*
The Clients understand the following disclosures are made by CAC. CAC does NOT: (1) Facilitate domestic adoptions or act as a licensed adoption agency, attorney, or facilitator which includes: communicating with the expectant or birth mother/father/family on behalf of the hopeful adoptive parents. (2) Guarantee a placement or adoption of a child(ren) and/or frozen embryo. (3) Take birth family surrenders/consents or arrange for the placement of a child or have any activity with the placement of a child(ren) or offer any legal services. (4) Offer medical advice or treatment and always recommend clients consult with their doctors regarding any medical treatments.

PAYMENT AND FEES*
CAC fees are non-refundable, non-transferable, and due up-front when the Client Agreement is received. Clients fully and completely understand this policy and will not request a refund or transfer for any reason. The only reason a refund will be granted is if the client's application is not accepted by CAC.

CLIENT EDUCATION AND TRAINING AGREEMENT*
Clients agree to read CAC’s Guide to Embryo Adoption and complete a Certificate of Completion as their first step in receiving embryo adoption consulting services from CAC.

LIMITATIONS*
Clients accept and understand this Agreement and acknowledge that CAC operates as an adoption guidance, education, and consulting service, and in no way, claims to or operates as a licensed adoption placement agency, attorney, medical facility, or facilitator. Clients also understand CAC provides adoption guidance and advice only and CAC cannot guarantee any specific placement or situation. Clients understand CAC does not work directly with expectant/birth mothers but offers embryo adoption services including coordinating services between donors and recipients.

RISK AND LIABILITY*
Clients understand and agree that adoption is a risk. In addition, Clients agree to assume ALL liability and responsibility for the outcome of the adoption process and hold CAC harmless. In addition, Clients agree CAC is not liable for state laws, changes to state laws, and/or regulations preventing payment for consulting services. Clients agree CAC cannot be held liable for the actions or negligence of adoption agencies, attorneys, representatives, contractors, medical facilities/clinics, and/or adoption professionals. Clients also agree CAC cannot be held liable for a failed match, disrupted placement, or unsuccessful frozen embryo transfer for any reason.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT*
Clients agree that all the information obtained from CAC is a paid service to be used only for the sole purpose of the Client’s personal adoption and is considered confidential only to paying clients. In addition, ALL of the documents and communication Clients receive from CAC are part of our paid services and are the property of CAC. Sharing and/or distributing this information obtained from CAC in any manner, at any time, is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. This confidential information includes, but is not limited to, the CAC Guide to Embryo Adoption, Program Information Sheets, Embryo Adoption Program and Donor referrals, adoption situations, and all CAC email/phone/communication and advice. Clients understand and agree that this Confidential Agreement will remain in effect even after Client’s adoption is complete. Clients agree that sharing and/or distributing any confidential information provided by CAC could result in legal action against them.

NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT*
Clients agree during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 36 months immediately following the termination/fulfillment of this Agreement, whether such termination is by CAC or the Clients, that Clients will NOT engage in, consult/contract with, or hold any position as a shareholder, director, officer, consultant, advisor, advocate, independent contractor, employee, partner or investor, or otherwise assist as a part of any business entity in any state of the US, that is engaged in any activities which are competitive with the business of providing adoption consulting, profile design, and all business activities reasonably related to Christian Adoption Consultants, LLC.

INDEMNIFICATION, LEGAL VENUE, AND MEDIATION*
Clients shall indemnify, defend (at their own cost and expense), and hold CAC/Adored and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, damages, losses, and expenses arising from any breach, misrepresentation or other act or omission of the Clients.
