Why Donate Your Embryos through Snowflakes?

• Snowflakes is an uniquely child-centered embryo adoption program and we believe in the open adoption and communication model.
• Open adoption (or can also known as direct donation) results in children who are secure in their identity and confident about their future.
• The Snowflakes Program provides embryo donors:
  1. Education and preparation
  2. Matching services with adoptive families who share similar preferences, values, and goals
  3. Ensures FDA compliance throughout the entire donation process
  4. Complementary legal and attorney services
  5. Coordination of clinic communications and embryo transport

Still not convinced? Here are 50 Benefits You Receive When You Choose Snowflakes 

Through Snowflakes, embryo donors gift all of their remaining embryos to one adopting family. This enables genetic siblings to live and thrive in fewer families, and in families where their existence is known. Communication is always available for potential future medical emergencies. There are no additional fees for keeping embryo sibling groups together.

Fertility clinic donation programs will frequently and anonymously divide a genetic sibling donation of embryos among many recipient patients. No information about the birth of resulting children is provided.

The FDA has regulations that must be followed to enable you to donate your embryos to another family. We will assist you in completing these requirements so your donation process is as smooth as possible.

Our legal agreements are clear and straightforward. There is no need to hire outside legal council.

If you are not quite ready to begin the donation process but are struggling with the high-cost of embryo storage at your clinic, we have lower-cost options available for you.

In order to help you get your embryos placed in a timely manner, we ask new embryo donors to complete all of their initial documentation within one (1) months. On average, donor parents are able to complete the documents within 2-3 weeks. The reward for completing your documents in a timely manner? Snowflakes will pay for your FDA required infectious disease testing. If you are unable to complete your documents within one month, you will be responsible for the cost of infectious disease testing.

Most embryo adoption costs* are covered by the adoptive family. Storage fees for the embryos will continue to be paid by the placing parents until the embryos are transferred by legal contract to the adopting family and shipped to their fertility clinic.

*There is a fee for those who wish to donate a singleton embryo. Please contact us to learn more about your options.
