The condition for donation of an embryo or embryos is that donors have no health contraindications to non-partner donation, as required by the Regulation of the Minister of Health dated 23 October 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation, and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, and the detailed conditions for collecting reproductive cells for use in the procedure of medically assisted procreation.
The program covers:
- selection of embryos, based on phenotypical characteristics, in accordance with the Infertility Treatment Act dated 25 June 2015 (Journal of Laws of 31 July 2015, item 1087) and the Regulation of the Minister of Health with regards to the Act
- creation of an embryo deposit and storage of embryos for the duration of the reservation for a particular couple

Good to know
All
you should know about this method
Embryo adoption offers an opportunity to have offspring to couples who cannot form their own well-developing embryos, although they have followed an in vitro fertilisation procedure. It can also be done when there is a high risk that the patients’ biological child will be born with a disease (in instances of carrying genetic diseases).
