Embryo Adoption Program

Did you know there are over 1 million embryos currently in frozen storage in the US? Because of the great need to find adoptive families, Christian Adoption Consultants (CAC) has launched an Embryo Adoption Consulting Program as a life-affirming solution. 

Embryo adoption is the term most often used when describing the legal process of adopting donated embryos that have been frozen during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Embryo adoption allows the adoptive parents to carry their baby through pregnancy and give birth to their adopted child. 

For over 50 years, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproduction technologies have helped build many families. However, the success of these programs has created a surplus of frozen embryos. When a couple goes through the IVF process, there are often remaining embryos. Those embryos are stored for future use, destroyed, donated to science, or can be donated to an adoptive family. 

Embryo adoption allows the family with the remaining embryos to select a hopeful adoptive family for their embryos. This offers the embryos the potential for life. The adoptive family is able to use the embryos, giving the adoptive mother the chance to carry her adopted child through pregnancy and give birth.
