Creating Familes through Embryo Adoption
When couples conceive through in-vitro fertilization (IVF), they often create more embryos than they need. What becomes of their unused embryos? Most are put into frozen storage (in a tank of liquid nitrogen) at the fertility center.

Through Snowflake, Christy and Mike Trabun of Dallas received frozen embryos that were donated by a Northwest couple. That's how 3-year-old Gage (left) got older brother Cade, 4, and 10-month-old twin siblings Shiloh and Coen
Some couples will freeze them to use at a later date (themselves) in the unfortunate event they miscarry or for future IVF sibling cycles.
