General Information

Thank you for considering donating your embryos to Embryo Donation International (EDI)!

Why "Embryo Donation" and NOT "Embryo Adoption"?

Adoption refers to the legal process where a new relationship is created between a parent and a live child. Adoptions can only be granted by the court after the birth of a child. Embryo donation, however, is regulated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and not the courts. While we at EDI feel your embryos deserve a tremendous amount of respect, assigning personhood to an embryo has tremendous moral, ethical and legal ramifications.

The Potential for Future Blood Testing

Additional laboratory testing may be requested by the Embryo Recipients including HIV, hepatitis and inheritable diseases. This blood testing is purely optional but often encouraged.

We agree to have our blood re-tested in the future at no expense to ourselves.

Donation Process

Please select one of the following donation processes you are interested in. Click here for more information on the different types of donation.

	Anonymous Embryo Donation This is the most common form of embryo donation. It is perfect the the donors who are wanting to provide a wonderful gift while desiring closure in donating their embryos. It is ideal for the embryo recipient who wants the least expensive option in receiving embryos. The decision to accept the embryo recipient into the program is the responsibility of EDI's clinicians, who have over a quarter century of combined experience in the infertility field. EDI is strongly committed to help match healthy cryopreserved embryos with healthy embryo recipients.
	Approved Embryo Donation This is the second most common form of embryo donation. It is ideal for the donors who want additional information about the recipients. It is ideal for the recipients that are willing to participate in the MHP interview process. EDI still ultimately decides which embryo recipients are emotionally and physically ready to accept donated embryos gathering on their vast experience in the field of embryo donation.
	Open Embryo Donation This is the least common form of embryo donation. It requires a greater level of participation for both donors and recipients. This is the most expensive form of embryo donation. The donors and recipients will know each other. It is up to the participants themselves how much a relationship they will have after the embryos are transferred. It is uncertain if the Florida state statutes will protect all participants, so legal representation is required and contracts will need to be signed.
