I'm looking for embryos of Asian Indian origin to begin with. Does anyone know of a bank/agency where Indian or similar looking embryos would be available?
How long is the process and how much is the start to end cost? TIA. |
| I had know idea you can even do this! |
OP here. Some couples donate their leftover embryos for adoption. Like donor egg, this is donor embryo. |
|
I didn't either until I read this blog post.

| OP here again. New to me too. Got to know a month ago. Embryo adoption could be my last resort after experiencing 11 failures through IVF+IUI. Ofc assuming my uterus is good! Cannot financially afford adoption or surrogacy. |

SG does not do it. According to this website, there are a few in our area who seem to, although clinics do not advertise it as a service on their website.

| i'm glad I read this thread because I am thinking of donating a PGS tested embryo (different race though) and I didn't realize that SG won't do the implantation for the adoptive couple. I wonder why not? |
| Just FYI that calling it "adoption" is highly controversial since normally an embryo is not a child. Embryo donation may be a better way to refer to it. |
I think embryo adoption is a fine term. |
To some degree I agree, but the person/people responsible for creating the embryo would be the ones donating it. If you're selecting or choosing an embryo that someone else has donated, there has to be a term for it. Both parties can't donate it. That doesn't even make sense. |
|
I'd just call it "using donor embryos". I used donor sperm, but I sure didn't do "sperm adoption"!
|
FFS, Really? |
|
whatever you do, just don't call it "snowbaby adoption". *gag*
|
This is a legit point, as all things unborn-baby related head quickly down a slippery slope to abortion. I agree with pp that embryo donation is a far better term. |
|
OP here. It's an established term. Embryo adoption. There is a website for that.
http://www.embryoadoption.org/ Any has experience going through this process and finding embryos of a particular race? I am not sure if donated embryo banks would be even big enough. Wondering how many couples would be considered donating and not discarding or giving it for research. |
