Embryo Adoption
New Life Adoptions works in collaboration with Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program (Nightlight Christian Adoptions in California) and the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) (in Tennessee), to provide home studies for prospective adoptive families seeking to adopt embryos for implantation. A home study must be completed by a licensed agency in your home state.
Home Studies for Embryo Adoption
The home study process for embryo adoption is very similar to the process for couples seeking traditional adoption services; however, your social worker will focus on the uniqueness of embryo adoption. To read more about the home study process, view the adoption process page.
After your home study is complete, New Life Adoptions will send your approved home study to the embryo adoption program of your choice. The selection of a donor family and the transfer of embryos will take place through the embryo adoption program. As adoptive parents, you will be matched with genetic parents much in the same way as in a traditional adoption. Your embryo adoption may include meeting the genetic parents and having ongoing contact.
