Hello! While we all work to contain the spread of COVID-19 your Snowflakes team continues to work on behalf of both placing and adopting families to help more babies be born who otherwise would remain in frozen storage. Our newsletter is green this month to remind us of new LIFE! Does every embryo deserve an opportunity to be born? We think so. This is why the Snowflakes program accepts all embryos regardless of quality or quantity.  Snowflakes Mom #1, Marlene Strege, likes to put it this way, "I did not create Hannah, I sustained her life by providing her with oxygen, nutrients, a warm place to grow and my love. And it is the same thing she needs outside the womb now." Each of our Snowflakes clients is committed to the life of each embryo. Our placing parents are choosing life for their frozen embryos by gifting them to an adopting family. Our adopting families are providing them with an opportunity to be born and the safety of a loving family. What a joy it is for us to serve each of you!

Committed to Every Embryo Adopted

It was a dark snowy Friday night when I was driving to meet my husband at a local fundraiser. I typically drive in silence but I had stumbled across a radio program that caught my attention. My husband and I been unsuccessfully trying to build our family for over three years. The initial testing had left us without answers. We were preparing to meet with a reproductive endocrinologist (RE) and were nervous about the ‘next steps’. At the time we did not know embryo adoption existed. Should our next step be IVF? Could we do IVF and still honor our faith and honor life?    Read their story here

We know that YOUR voice is the most powerful way to spread the good word about the miracle of life and embryo adoption.  Keep celebrating your story with friends and family. info@Snowflakes.org | 970-663-6799

The Miracle of the Human Embryo

"Don't let the stage of embryo development or the duration of time that the embryo has been frozen deter you from choosing that embryo from bringing a new miracle into your family."  Dr. Jeffrey Nelson, Reproductive Endocrinologist, HRC Fertility, Pasadena, CA
