The cost of embryo adoption is typically more expensive than the cost of using donated embryos. An average cost of embryo adoption, including the home study, legal fees, shipping of embryos (if necessary), frozen embryo transfer, and cycle medications, is around $18,000.
Many embryo adoption agencies require couples to complete a home study, which is a comprehensive family study conducted by a state licensed adoption agency, costing an average of $2,000 - $3,500. In addition to being a bit pricier, embryo adoption is also generally a longer process. The home study process alone usually takes about 3 months to complete.
Donor Nexus has helped many intended parents grow their families using donor embryos, including many patients who were initially seeking to 'adopt' embryos.
“Our donor embryo cycles are relatively straightforward and can be completed in 2-3 months from the time you secure a donor embryo.”
We understand that the journey through infertility is long enough as it is, so we have intentionally built our embryo donation program with timeliness in mind. The donor embryos available in our database are available for immediate use, allowing recipients the flexibility to complete the cycle at their convenience.
Our No Wait Donor Embryo Cycle is perfect for recipients who are ready to grow their families as soon as possible!
We understand that for many embryo adoption programs, the home study is a necessary part of their process. However, we aim to make the embryo donation process as simple as possible for our intended parents. By not requiring a home study, we are able to make donor embryo cycles more affordable and accessible to all families.
