Nightlight Christian Adoptions

In 1997 Nightlight Christian Adoptions pioneered embryo adoption to assist families with remaining embryos in frozen storage in selecting an adopting family to attempt pregnancy with them.

They named their new program "Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program," likening each embryo to a unique, frozen snowflake. Snowflakes Embryo Adoption has since become the largest embryo adoption agency in the world.

Embryo adoption follows adoption best practices, transferring remaining embryos from donors to recipients -- the adopting families -- who then undergo frozen embryo transfers (FETs) with the family receiving their embryos and give birth to their adopted child.

To ensure the well-being of all parties involved, an adoption home study is required. This process educates the adopting family and provides peace of mind to the embryo donors, knowing that the family receiving their embryos has been thoroughly vetted by the agency.

Embryo adoption programs differ from embryo donation programs run out of fertility clinics. While the latter primarily focus on medical treatment, adoption agencies consider social and emotional aspects for all involved in the adoption process.

Encouraging open relationships is a key aspect of embryo adoption, allowing children born from this process to maintain connections with both their biological background and their adoptive family's experiences. In contrast, embryo donation programs often priortize anonymity, providing little to no information to either the donor nor receipient and encouraging privacy rather than secrecy.
