My husband and I are future Snowflake Parents and our adoption is being facilitated by the organization I mention below, Nightlight.

However, if I may, I’d like to correct a few factual inaccuracies.
Two minor points:

The name of the organization that does “Snowflake Adoptions” is Nightlight Christian Adoption Agency in California. Their Embryo Adoption program is called Snowflakes, but they also facilitate traditional adoptions. Snowflakes only refers to the program of one agency. Bethany Christian Adoption Services and the National Embryo Donation Center work together to also facilitate Embryo Adoptions, but their program is not called “Snowflake.”

“Implantation” is the actual act of the embryo “latching on” to the uterus, burrowing itself in for a place to grow. This may still later result in a miscarriage, but once implantation is actually achieved, there is much hope. The surgical placing of embryos in to the adoptive mother is called a ‘transfer” –it is still up to God and nature whether, once released from the catheter, the embryos “latch on” and implant, just as embryos created the “good ol fashioned way” may be released by the fallopian tubes in to the uterus and may never actually implant.

Neither of those are huge errors, but I think they do make understanding the process and its specific needs and benefits, as well as where the service is available (and who from) a little easier.

But my biggest issue is where the author says:
And then there’s always the issue of whether to tell the child of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding its birth

Because Nightlight is an organization that is committed to honoring Jesus Christ, they are committed to honesty in their work. We as adoptive parents are required to pledge that we will fully disclose the way these precious children joined our families. Nightlight works hard to educate us on age-appropriate ways to introduce adoption to children, and embryo adoption specifically. We are required to complete adoption education, with a special component focusing on the additional needs of EA. It is absolutely important to be completely honest with the children involved about how they came to join their families. Nightlight demands that of every adoptive family. They can’t police us and ensure we do the right thing, however, nor can a traditional adoption agency. But Nightlight does do all they can to educate and equip us in advance and elicit a commitment from us to treat our children and their adoption with honesty and respect.

I have not participated in Bethany’s program so I cannot say one way or the other whether or not they have this same requirement, but as a Christian agency, I can imagine that they do.

But again, thank you for highlighting the precious gift that is Embryo Adoption!
