Benefits of Donating through E.A.
  • Donating gives your embryo/s a chance for life.
     
  • It relieves you/donor/s of psychological stress of deciding what to do with them.

     
  • It provides fulfillment in helping other infertile parent/s.

     
  • There is assurance that the adopting parent/s have been well-screened for their ability to become successful parents.
     
  • Donors choose open/agency liaison/ or closed-anonymous relationship
     
  • Donors specify characteristics of adoptor(s) including: age range, single or married, geographic location, number of other children in the home, level of education, values, religion, ethnic background, health, employment and other characteristics.

Benefits of Referring Patients

  • Your patients use your clinic. (new patients may also be referred to you)
    Adoptors will appreciate finding potential embryos through E.A. and upon match adoptors can have adopted embryos shipped to your clinic for their  F.E.T. frozen embryo transfer.

  • If you have embryos from patients that you would like to have matched-we launched an on-site only program where you can stipulate on site only (and have patients in our database only be matched if they come to you.) Please request this option at the time of donation.

We provide an alternative the closed/anonymous option which many families like (no secrets and children who are born will not go off to school and marry each other).

We can be reached via email embryosalive@yahoo.com or 513-793-1593 to provide brochures, mailing inserts, business cards for your clinic or you may refer patients to our website.  We will supply the necessary release and relinquishment forms to the donors as well as assist with coordinating any additional blood work for infectious disease that may be necessary.

In order to assist with the future issues of divorce, legally debilitating accident, or death this Pre-I.V.F. Planning Packet  will assist in the process.


Whether Donors have questions about a prospective adoptive parent, want to speak with members of the assisted reproductive community, or simply need help locating a mobile notary, the Embryos Alive staff will facilitate the donation process.

We found our own adoptors

  • If you have found a couple you would like to donate your embryos to on your own: Contact us for the Agreement and Relinquishment legal paperwork
     

  • Our service gives you the peace of mind that the adoptors have been screened for sex abuse, child abuse, ability to carry a child to term, references, driving history which would indicate a history of DUI's proof of income and other qualities that would be relevant to your decision.
     
  • E.A. maintains files for agency liaison, open and anonymous relationships.
