Embryo Adoption Process

Start Today

These are the primary eligibility requirements for the Snowflakes Program.

  • Adopting mothers must apply prior to reaching the age of 45.
  • Adopting fathers must apply prior to reaching the age of 55.
  • Couples must be legally married for at least 2 years.
  • Single women are eligible to apply.
  • Snowflakes will ship your adopted embryos to one of our Preferred Partner clinics (40 locations throughout the U.S.).
  • Snowflakes personalized matching begins with the placing family and ends with a mutually agreed upon match with the adopting family

There are 3 ways to begin your embryo adoption journey.

1. Have a personal consultation with a Snowflakes Inquiry Specialist.

One of our professional staff members will spend time with you via phone and email to better understand your unique circumstances and help you determine if adoption is the right choice for your family. They will help you gain an understanding of program specifics and answer your questions. They are great listeners! We want you to understand our entire process before you choose our program.

Paige, our Snowflakes Inquiry Specialist, will answer your questions.

2. Complete our online Inquiry Form.

The Inquiry Form helps you determine which adoption program is right for your family. After completing the form, a Snowflakes team member will contact you.
