Embryo Adoption Process

Start Today

These are the primary eligibility requirements for the Snowflakes Program.

  • Adopting mothers must be under the age of 45.
  • Adopting fathers must be under the age of 50.
  • Couples must be legally married for at least 2 years.
  • Single women are eligible to apply.
  • Snowflakes will ship your adopted embryos to a fertility clinic of your choice from our referral network (40+ locations throughout the U.S.).
  • Personalized matching begins with the embryo placing family and ends with a mutually agreed upon match with the adopting family.

There are three ways to begin your embryo adoption journey.

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

Our professional team will consult with you via phone, video call, and email to better understand your unique circumstances and help you determine if embryo adoption is the right choice for your family. They will help you gain an understanding of program specifics and answer your questions.

If Snowflakes is not the right adoption path for your family, Nightlight also has domestic, international, and foster adoption programs available to you.

A Snowflakes Adopting Parent Inquiry Specialist will answer your questions.
