Hi.
I'm interested in Embryo Adoption/Donation.
Can you recommend any clinics here or the surrounding are that has a program of their own?
Thank you.

The center for Reproductive Med. in Albuquerque NM has a active embryo donation program. This is the only fertility clinic in NM and is highly rated the em don. cost is about $4000.

Sounds good but they're in New Mexico. I'm trying to stay local for right now at least.

I was reading back and heard about Schnell. I wasn't sure if they did Embryo donation. Thank you.
ETA: I called and they work with two places for the embryos in case anyone is wondering:

National Embryo Adoption Center
Crystal Angels in Lubbock

You will find the soures listed that the Houston clinic "works with" very expensive by the time you do all the math most likely alot of clinics do not do embryo donation be sure you add up all costs involved. NM is a complete package all paperwork the embryos are stored at there clinic donated from there patients..

That's the kind of place I'm looking for. All in one. I'm trying to figure things out locally but if nothing happens here then I may go further out. I'll keep this information in mind. Thanks.

Haven't had a chance to reply to you over on Cafe Mom, but since you're asking this here . . . I'll post here.

I think you've had some great advice over on Cafe Mom regarding your concerns, and lots to think about.

As far as finding a clinic:

Finding a donor clinic:

To find a clinic in your area that handles Donor Embryos, click here: SART - Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology and enter your zipcode. Click on a clinic name and then click to view their ART data report. At the bottom of the report, it will tell you if they work with Donor Embryos or not. Of these clinics, some have their own in-house supply of Embryos and some require that you locate your own elsewhere and then have them shipped to the clinic. Contact each clinic for details on which options they offer.

Sometimes clinics will work with donor embryos, even if they don't have an in-house program. So you can still contact clinics in that list and double check. A quick phone call is worth a lot.

In addition, please be sure to ask who they use for Cryogenic storage etc. Many clinics who do not have a program, refer their clients to the cryogenics places, as many cryogenics places DO have their own donor embryo programs.

Hi. Yeah I'm here too, lol. I found this place yesterday so I figured I would go ahead and post. I have had some good advice over there on CafeMom. Very much appreciated.

I'm trying to get all the information together so when the time comes to adopt I'll know where to go and what to do.

I have heard of the SART site but I got a little intimidated by the thought of calling clinics but I'll try. I hadn't thought to ask about their storage. That's a really good idea.

Thanks for the reply!
