Canada’s First Open Embryo Donation Program
Recently a Canadian not-for-profit charity called Beginnings, launches Canada’s first open embryo donation program in the country.
“Embryo donation addresses a major dilemma for many Canadians who have completed in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments,” says Beginnings Executive Director, Kerry Vandergrift.
Until now in Canada according to the Beginnings agency website, options for couples with embryos in storage were limited to having their embryos destroyed, leaving the embryos stored indefinitely, or donating their embryos for medical research.
“Now there’s another option,” says Ms Vandergrift. “Beginnings has launched an Embryo Donation Program giving couples the opportunity to donate their remaining embryos to infertile couples hoping to become parents.
Unfortunately by looking at their website, their embryo donation program comes with a very high price tag to families trying to build their families through the miracle of embryo donation.
It is a good thing that now in Canada, couples with embryos in storage have the option of donating their remaining embryos to another couple who is trying to conceive, but in my opinion the agency Beginnings who will be doing the matching has fees that are way too high.
According to the Beginnings website as of today April 12/2010, their program fees and costs are $13,500. Additional costs will include the fertility clinic fee, clinic storage fees after contractual agreement, disbursements (travel costs, etc), independent legal advice re contracts and additional counseling costs.
I’m not sure if this is available in Canada but please if you are thinking about receiving embryos though embryo donation in Canada, please check with your clinic whether you can deal with them directly. If that is possible you could possibly avoid paying Beginnings’ agency fees.
Also check Miracles Waiting in the US. They charge only $150 to those trying to find embryos to build their families through embryo donation. Donors can do the same for free. They have online profiles from both families wanting to donate their embryos and families waiting to receive embryos. Recipient families can post their profile and donor families read through and email them if they are interested. Some donors also post profiles and recipient families can contact them directly.
