This page outlines the process of donating embryos to other couples or individuals through the Donor Nexus embryo donation program. If you are interested in using donated embryos, visit our embryo donation program page here.
To start the process of donating embryos, please fill out the form on the bottom of this page with some basic information. Once we receive the form, our team will be in touch with you shortly. Next, you will fill out a blank embryo profile. Then, we will upload the donor embryo profile onto our database with non-identifying information for prospective recipients to view. Once an intended parent expresses interest in the embryos, we will organize the shipping of the embryos and you will begin the paperwork, including consent forms, to transport the embryos to our partner fertility clinic in Southern California.
We appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness in considering the gift of donating embryos to other couples or individuals. We understand that this is a decision which is not made lightly. We have curated a flexible embryo donation program to allow you as the embryo donor(s) to choose if you prefer an open or anonymous* donation and address any stipulations you may have for the receiving couple or individual.

*Please note that although our team adheres to the highest standards to maintain donor and recipient confidentiality when facilitating the cycle, we do not guarantee permanent anonymity. With advancements in commercial genetic testing and other related technologies, we counsel our egg donors and intended parents to understand that the child(ren) born as a result of the embryo donation may independently discover the donor’s identity in the future.

“I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for making this process of donation such a beautiful one. I really struggled with donating my embryo and if I was going to regret it one day.
I am in touch with [Intended Mother] and [Intended Father] and they are so lovely. They had Riley on Aug 3 and she is perfect! I know she was supposed to be with them and I feel so much peace and happiness knowing I get to be a part of her life in some capacity.
I just wanted you to know you gave us both a gift and I appreciate your kindness and compassion throughout the process.“
“The couple will be successful. The child will be successful. Their house will be filled with love. My wife and I are so pleased that our blessing was not wasted and it could bless not just us but a family like ours. The baby will be part of them and they will be part of their baby.”
“I am over the moon that the embryos have finally arrived there. I am praying that they will go to a wonderful family. I also want to thank you again for helping me through the process and keeping me up to date.”
