Michele, are you willing to travel? The NEDC is in Knoxville, TN and wouldn't be too far. Best of luck on your journey!

Hi Ashley,
We don't mind traveling to either TN and SC but don't want the extra fees of a home study and other fees associated with going through an agency.

Hello! My name is Kellie and my husband and I just finished our homestudy and are in the matching process of our adoption of embryos. We have two biological sons Levi 4 1/2 and Tytus 1 1/2 and we will be adopting a single embryo hopefully in the next two-three weeks. We are very excited and I am thankful for this site because obviously embryo adoption is not very common so there really isn't much support out there that I know of at this point so thank you for doing this and for those who are sharing great information. We will keep you posted as we go through this process. I love seeing your hearts to save this unknown generation Have a great day! Kellie

Hello, not sure how active this site is but here is my intro.
My dh and I met late in life but were lucky enough to have children together besides the one each we had already. But since we got 3 boys and one girl we tried for another girl but we lost the baby through mc.
So we though oh oh I am too old lets do donor egg cycle IVF instead of tring again (after trying for another 6 months without success). So we did that and it failled (the clinic's fault).
So I asked if they had an Embryo Donation program and they didn't be were going to start that. Well while I we waited we tried again to use clomid and see if that would work for us... it did after another 6 months but because my eggs are no more good we got a Down syndrome little boy. He is cut and everything but I was still hoping for one more girl.
So after one year of waiting the ED program opened at my clinic and we got first pick. We adopted the remainer of a couple who had 12 left and used half of them to create the little baby we are pregnant with. And no it's not a girl it's still a boy.
We are due on Nov 28th and hope to use the other embryos next year or so.
That's our story.

Hi I'm Liz and my dh and I have been trying for a looooong time. We have 7 IVF cycles (5 fresh/2 fet) under our belts and 2 miscarriages. We have 9 embryos on ice from our previous cycles, but since many of the embryos didn't even implant and the ones that did ended in m/c, REs (we've gotten 3 opinions) say that it's most likely embryo quality (I was 38 when eggs were retrieved).
We just started this process, signed up for Miracles Waiting 2 days ago. I'm also calling around to all the clinics in our area to ask about their embryo donation programs (if they have one, for current patients only, wait list, etc.) I think we are leaning towards embryo donation as opposed to embryo adoption.
A place like Snowflakes is a little too pricey for us (one reason for pursuing embryo donation as opposed to egg donation was the cost). NEDC may be an option, as they are less expensive, but the costs still add up with all the fees.
Hoping the embryo donation route moves quickly as I will be ready to start another FET cycle come Feb/Mar (my last m/c was in Dec.)

Hello, my dh and I adopted embryos from our clinic in the fall of 2009, after one mc and one failed DE cycle. We finally gave birth to our son in November of 2010 and I am very exited with him. He still has brothers/sisters in the freezer that we hope to use in the fall of 2011.

Hi, My name is Stacy. My husband and I have been married for nine years last March. We found out a year into marriage that we both have fertility issues. I do not ovulate on my own and he has low sperm count, nearly zero motile sperm and 99% poor morphology. Prior to knowing this we tried clomiphene for about six months and after diagnosis went straight to Ivf. After fundraisers, donations, several huge garage sales (thanks to family and friend donations), a bank loan and draining our savings account (I would have sold a kidney if I could LOL) we finally had enough money to get started. We did a fresh cycle in Aug. 2005 resulting in 3 grade b-c embryos, transferred 2 on day 3 and froze the last one successfully. Unfortunatley we did not concieve. We then did FET in March 2006 with our last embryo and it worked. We have one beautiful daughter who is now 4. We tried IVF again Sept 2010, but had zero fertilization thus we are now moving on to embryo adoption. We couldn't be more excited about getting started. Our doctor opened our eyes to this and I believe this is such a blessing to those of us who struggle with infertility. I'm so glad to have found this blog and can't wait to meet you! (sorry this intro is so long)

Hi. I am Irra, Dh is Mike. We live in So Cal. We have a lovely daughter from IVF #1, but subsequent IVF's (3 fresh and 2 FETs) only gave us a blighted ovum pregnancy, BFNs and broken hearts. We are now looking into donor embryos and are at the top of the waiting list at our RE's for Caucasian mix embryos. I have also registered at Miracles Waiting (am waiting for them to respond regarding my membership), so am really hopinh something works out.

Hello. Brand new to the forum, but looking forward to "meeting" and getting to know you. DH & I have been TTC for 2 years now. This past year was such a roller coaster, as I am sure many of you can attest to. The physical, emotional, and financial challenges along the way are so tough to bear! We recently finished filling out paperwork with the embryo adoption agency my clinic uses. Unfortunately, we may have a long time finding a match as we are looking for biracial embryos. I wish you hope & happiness on all of your journeys, and I hope to connect to some of you soon. I live in Delaware, about 20 minutes outside of Philly, PA if anyone's in the area. God bless!

Hi i'm Mary we have had 3 failed icsi's and now have decided to give embryo adoption a try. There aren't as much info or places in South Africa but have contacted two clinics which I am told might be able to help, so please keep fingers crossed. Glad to have found a forum dedicated to embryo adoption.

My name is Alexandra and I am 15 years old. I live in Russia.And I want you to adopt me. I know this sounds like an ordinary divorce, but I have not a standard situation. I have many good reasons.
In Russia, young people my age (95%) drink and smoke and are not very healthy lifestyle. Curse is considered normal. When I sit in class boys sitting behind constantly reproached and when they do note that they will swear at you. (And I'm in a good school.) Nobody cares about your health. People smoke in public places. Everyone's like they hurt other people. Once I nearly fainted. And if you ask politely not to smoke here (although this is forbidden), then you will swear by. Children under the age of 10 already foul. And from all this for me to get scared. How much will I still be able to save their world. Resist this. Thear do not who want to learn. All cheat in the classroom. On the other hand, it is my mother. She is very good. We have it a very strong link. But she is interested in Eastern faith. She is very clever. And I can not blame her in this. But when I want together to do something. For example, together go to the drawing, she said to me: "It's all very well, but I still snowing time, now I should know." Even as she had little time, it almost does not work and we were with my mother has my sister, who for 27 years. Because of this she has to work hard and I can see how she is unhappy. And because of that it has very poor health. I am very hurt to look at it. Because I know that the blame for this myself. My mother and I talked about everything and came to the conclusion that for me and for her the best way to get me to adopt. I hesitated a long time since I really love my mom and sister. But I want them to feel good. And I'll be fine. I want to do something with my family. Together to celebrate the holidays. (After all, we do not when you do not succeed.)
This is not just a thoughtless letter. I've been looking for a way to make adoption possible and I found it. If you are afraid to just adopt me, you can arrange custody. Sorry for the translation. (I translated in google). So if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. And remember. "No," you can always tell. I'm waiting for an answer. you could contact me by pishultna @yandex.ru

Hi, My husband and I have been married for six years and learned a few years ago that we wouldn't be able to have children ourselves due to male IF. We are so excited for EA/ED and can't wait to be parents. We're hoping for an open situation for the good of all involved (even though I can imagine there will be some difficult situations at the beginning) and am excited at what God will bring about. I'm really excited to have a place that I can meet others going through this and also to have the honor to hear from those on both sides. I'm thankful that IF has really helped me to be able to open my eyes and see more than just my perspective. Nice to 'meet' you all!
