I'll start! Cooper Center in NJ have them available (www.ccivf.com). They say that there is a wait, but it completely depends on how specific you are about your embryos. We got ours immediately (half Japanese, half Caucasian) as did a friend of ours (half Puerto Rican, half Caucasian), and another friend (Caucasian embies). They will also allow you to "mix" batches to make sure that you have enough embies to cycle with. So, if there is only one embie from one donating family you can get that embie as well as another batch with say 2 or 3 embryos, etc. Combine them so that you end up with 4-6 embryos. I like this because it gives the embryos in the smaller batches a chance too. The down side is that you have no idea which ones stuck until birth, or in the case of multiples, your "twins" could be completely unrelated genetically.
Everything with Cooper Center is anonymous so if you want a relationship with the donating family it probably isn't the clinic for you. We would have preferred a known donation/adoption, but in the end decided that we could be okay with anonymous too.
Hope that helps someone!
