Description

Adoption is typically conceived as international or domestic. But what about adopting a child who is cryopreserved at the embryonic stage of development? Written by a parent who pursued embryo adoption, Once Frozen, Now Family will help you:

-Understand the technical and logistical aspects of embryo adoption

-Follow the steps involved, from creating a family profile, to getting matched, to transferring your "snowflake baby" into the womb

-Embody the journey, along with the various challenges and ethical questions, through the stories of seven families who have walked this unique path

Whether you are struggling with infertility, interested in adoption and pro-life issues, or reading on behalf of a loved one, learn about how those who were once frozen, can now become family.
