Completing Your Required Embryo Adoption Home Study
Every adoption requires a family evaluation/home study.
At Snowflakes we follow the best practices of adoption and therefore we require an adoption family evaluation/home study be completed by the adopting family. We believe the donor, adopter and children will benefit and are protected by the family evaluation/home study process.

A family evaluation/home study consists of evaluation and educational components, along with personal meetings with an agency professional and various background checks. A family evaluation/home study usually takes about 2-3 months to complete. Adopting families receive the education necessary for success in raising adopted children and communicating their child’s unique snowflake baby adoption journey in an appropriate and loving manner.
Donor embryo families have confidence that the adopting family has been appropriately evaluated and is a safe and loving family, a family willing to attempt to give life to each embryo placed into their care.
Snowflakes provides a Family Evaluation service that is available in all 50 states and internationally. Talk to us if you have a valid and current home study and we can determine if you can use it for your embryo adoption.
