Interested in a Minneapolis Embryo Donation Program in Minneapolis?

Speak With a St. Paul Surrogacy Attorney

Often, families that have a problem conceiving a child do conceive using embryo implantation. When a couple starts the process, several embryos are stored. In the event that the pregnancy test comes back negative, the couple will have additional frozen embryos so that they can try again. The legal and administrative process of egg donation, surrogacy or embryo donation can be complicated. An experienced Minneapolis surrogacy attorney makes sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Storing Embryos

It can be quite expensive for long-term storage of embryos. A person or couple has a choice to:

• Continue storing embryos
• Destroy the embryos
• Donate the embryos

Because of the expense of storing embryos, instead of destroying embryos, the unused embryos are donated. Once the embryos are donated, the patients no longer have the financial burden of storage. A Minneapolis surrogacy attorney at Steven H. Snyder & Associates can help you determine which is the best alternative for your situation.

Requirements for Embryo Donation

Embryo donors are required to go through a process before donating embryos. They must:

• Complete a three-generation medical/genetic history
• Sign a consent to donate
• Attend a consultation with a psychologist
• Complete any additional blood testing needed

Embryo Donor Recipients

An embryo donor recipient, like an egg donor recipient, pays an embryo donor fee. Depending on when the embryos are shipped, there may or may not be a storage fee. There may be additional fees if additional genetic testing is required or if additional genetic testing is done voluntarily.

Legal and Administration

The legal and administrative process of donating embryos is complicated. Using a legal expert who knows the ins and outs of embryo donation may be in your best interest. Using the services of an attorney ensures that the legal and administrative process goes as smoothly as possible. Contact an experienced St. Paul surrogacy lawyer prior to making a decision to donate your embryos or making a decision to receive embryos, eggs or to be a part of a surrogacy program.
