Hello and welcome to the dawn of another Autumn season!


If you live in area with the four seasons you are likely noticing that temperatures are beginning to drop. Families are transitioning into the school year rhythm. The hours of daylight are lessening. 


I've surrounded the photo above with autumn leaves but I'd like to spend a few moments discussing the hands. We are so blessed that God has given us HANDS! Thank you God for hands!


I think about the many hands involved in helping our families place and adopt embryos. Often the work of these hands goes unnoticed, unappreciated. Then, too, there are the hands of our families. Hands working hard to collect and share information. Hands writing emails or dialing phones. Hands showing kindness to a spouse or a child.


And so, I want to thank all of the hands involved in helping make the Snowflakes program successful.


Give yourselves a hand!

Embryo Donation: Making Dreams ComeTrue


What do you think about this video creation?

We created this video Embryo Donation: Making Dreams Come True to help people see clearly that remaining frozen embryos are people with potential waiting to be born. Please take this one question survey to let us know what you think. Personal comments are welcome.

Are Pregnancies or Babies Different

with a Fresh or Frozen Embryo Transfer?


Frozen Embryo Transfers:

Increased implantation rates

Increased sustained pregnancy rates

Increased live birth rates

Lower miscarriage rates

  • Lower Risk for Ectopic Pregnancy
  • Lower Risk for Low Birth Weight
  • Lower Risk for Smaller for Gestational Age
  • Lower Risk for Pre-Term Delivery
  • Healthier babies


"It may be that a frozen embryo transfer is more 'physiologically similar' to a spontaneous pregnancy."
