What is embryo cell adoption?

Embryo adoption is a procedure whereby a patient adopts an embryo donated anonymously by another couple. Phenotypic matching of embryo donors and recipients, inclusive of blood types, is an important part of the process.
Anonymity is a fundamental principle of prenatal adoption. Both donors and recipients remain anonymous to each other.

Embryo adoption programme

The embryos come from couples who decided to anonymously donate some of their embryos during their own in vitro fertilisation treatment. 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
  • release of embryos from the bank to the embryology laboratory
  • preparing embryos for transfer (procedure of identification, thawing, incubation and evaluation of embryos)
  • coordination
  • possibility of psychological counselling
Cost of the stage: PLN 4 100

This stage includes the procedure for transferring the embryo into the uterine cavity.

Cost of the stage: PLN 2 200

  • cost of qualification, synchronisation and cycle monitoring,
  • the cost of drugs used to synchronise the cycle and during cycle monitoring and post-transfer,

  • the cost of examinations 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
  • cost of hormonal testing during treatment,
  • additional embryological procedures (Assisted hatching, EmbryoGlue or UTM transfer medium).

The entire adoption process

is managed by our female medical coordinator, who knows you and your case and stays in touch with the cell and embryo banks and coordinates the medical team throughout the adoption programs.

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).

How patients see us

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.

Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.

We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.

Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.

Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.

Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

Very matter-of-fact doctor; she informs you thoroughly about everything and explains everything comprehensively. She informed me of the treatment plan and was very kind, gentle and understanding.

We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
