Private embryo adoption?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone privately matched for embryo adoption? If yes, could you share who you worked with on the contract/legal side of things?

Second, which clinics in the DMV will accept privately adopted embryos? Currently a CCRM patient and they said they will not accept/transfer such embryos.

Shady Grove will also not acceot them.

Just curious, what is the rationale for not accepting them? Is it just the act that the embryos were created in an outside clinic and therefore they’re worried it will affect their stats/success rates? Or is it because they’re worried about the contract/legal issues?

OP here: my guess is they don't trust the labs at other clinics. They won't accept frozen donor eggs from all egg banks because of that, so that's my assumption. Frustrating, but not surprising.

Would it be an option to do your local monitoring her at CCRM and travel to the clinic where the donor embryo was created for the embryo transfer?

That's what I'm exploring now. Hopefully that clinic is accepting new patients without a many month wait. Fingers crossed.

I would be tempted to do this anyway, I have heard of eggs and embryos being destroyed in shipping.
