What does egg and embryo donation involve?what is the embryo donation process?

Egg and embryo donation are types of fertility treatment used to help couples to conceive.

Egg donation is when eggs from a donor are fertilised with your partner’s sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred to your uterus (womb).

Embryo donation is an option if you and your partner require both egg and sperm donation, or if you are a single woman who cannot use your own eggs. Embryos are usually donated by couples who have successfully had their baby or babies from IVF and who want to help other couples.

Advantages of Donor Egg or embryo Adoption IVF Treatment

The advantages of donor egg IVF are simply its high chances of success. In fact, donor egg IVF has a much higher success rate when compared to IVF with non-donor. It is the age of the egg that seems to matter more than the womb in which it is planted. By receiving the egg, the recipient replicates in her body the donor’s fertility condition.

Thus Embryo Adoption is simply the adoption of frozen embryos donated by another couple.These embryos are frozen and are a source of hope for others who want to add children to their family. There are now more than 600,000 embryos in frozen storage in the United States: a 54% increase over the previous census in 2002. More couples are choosing to donate embryos. Embryo adoption is a viable and affordable adoption choice.

The process of embryo adoption is suitable for following prospective intended parents.

1. Couples and singles who are per-disposed to adoption as a way of bringing a family’s love to a child in need.
2. Couples who are infertile.
3. Concerned couple is at a high risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring.
4. Had recurrent IVF failures.
5. If You are looking for an alternative to fertility treatments such as IVF or donor egg recipient IVF.
6. ARE unable to afford IVF or other methods of treatment.
7. Unable to carry to term full pregnancy.
8. Those who do not wish to go through the expensive and emotionally exhausting process of adopting a newborn.

Now couples can fulfill their desire for a family, give birth to the very child they adopted as a tiny, frozen embryo and ensure that a precious life is preserved at the same time.

Is surrogacy different from embryo adoption and donation?

Yes, in surrogacy, an agreement is made for embryos to be transferred into a woman’s uterus, and she carries the pregnancy for the benefit of the infertile couple. The intended parents or the infertile couples are specifically making embryos in vitro for placement into the surrogate using either their own genetics or purchases donor genetics.Compare that to embryo adoption and donation, where the adopting mother herself carries the child or children. The placing couple relinquishes their rights to any children born from the embryos prior to the transfer of those embryos into the adoptive mother’s womb. The
child that the adopting mother carries and gives birth to is the child that she and the adopting father will parent. In simple words in surrogacy, a woman carries a pregnancy for the benefit of the infertile couple. In embryo adoption, the child that the couple carries is the child that they will parent.

Why is this called adoption?

Firstly, like traditional adoption, the couple who adopts the embryo has no genetic connection to it. In addition, embryo donation offers an altruistic use for surplus embryos, just like adoption meets the needs of both the adoptive family, and the unwanted child.
