IVF for Embryo Adoption

Donation protected
Hi, we are hoping to adopt.

In 2015 we started IVF.  We thought it would be relatively simple and have suffered many bumps in our road.  We have self-funded every treatment to date and now need some help to continue our journey to baby.

We want to adopt embryos and need your help.  We are so grateful you took the time to look at our page and want to give you some background on our treatments to date.

So far, we have had 4 rounds of self-funded IVF as follows:

IVF1 - failed egg collection, no embryo transfer
IVF2 - 2 embryos transferred ended in chemical pregnancy 
FET1 - 2 embryos transferred ended in chemical pregnancy
IVF3 - failed egg collection, no embryo transfer

We were then diagnosed with poor quality eggs - advised that an egg donor would be required.

IVF4 - Using an egg donor 2 embryos transferred, failed

After so much heartache living through the pain of constant failure, we won't give up.  Now, we want to adopt embryos.  It is not a very well known option here in the UK as it is not often couples have 'left over' embryos when they finish their IVF treatment and consider their family complete.  If a couple does have embryos 'left over' that are frozen, they can donate them and couples like us and we can adopt them.

We have been blessed to be offered embryos by 2 different couples who have done IVF themselves.  One of the offers has now sadly fallen through, but we are hopeful to adopt 4 embryos from the second couple and transfer them later this year if possible.  If for any reason that falls through, we will be looking to adopt embryos abroad in Prague from a clinic that creates embryos from donor eggs and donor sperm.

Whether we are able to adopt the 4 embryos here in the UK or need to go to Prague, we need your help.  We want to raise the funds necessary for our first transfer and hope that if enough of our friends, family, Instagram friends and Youtube friends are able to contribute just a small something, we will have this wonderful opportunity to have another chance to make our dream come true.

Thank you so much again for taking the time to read our story and we hope that you are able to help us make our dream come true.
