Some have estimated that there may be as many as 5,000,000 frozen embryos stored in IVF clinics across the United States but no one is really sure of the actual number with a range of 600,000 to 1.5 million frequently quoted.

Some couples are willing to donate their frozen embryos to recipient couples who desire to build their family through embryo adoption.

Our clinic, Rejoice Fertility, has the most experience with Embryo Adoption in the entire world. We provide the medical care and expertise to patients matched with adopted embryos through our affiliated embryo adoption organizations:Nightlight Christian Adoptions Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program,Embryo Adoption Services of Cedar Park, Embryos Alive and Flourish Embryo Adoption.

Patients seeking to adopt embryos will undergo an evaluation to ensure that there are no medical contraindications to Embryo Adoption (performed either here in Knoxville or with a local fertility clinic close to where they live) and then undergo their embryo transfers in Knoxville.

Most patients will only need to spend a day or two in Knoxville for their embryo transfer although those seeking to have a Natural Cycle Frozen Embryo Transfer may have to spend a bit longer in order to complete the necessary monitoring of their natural cycle.

TOP REASONS TO CHOOSE REJOICE FERTILITY FOR EMBRYO ADOPTION

2. EXPERIENCE

Our team has coordinated hundreds of frozen embryo transfer cycles for patients pursuing embryo adoption.

3. EXCELLENCE

All embryos are handled with the upmost care. Rejoice IVF was the FIRST accredited IVF Program in the Greater Knoxville Area having secured this accreditation by The Joint Commission back in 2021.

4. EXPANSION

We moved into our new state-of-the-art IVF Laboratory and clinical space in October 2024. Our office has many patient-friendly features such as Private Rooms for pre-transfer discussions with Dr. Gordon and the embryology team.

5. EMPATHY

All of us here at Rejoice Fertility believe that every embryo deserves a chance at life and that the only embryo that cannot result in a healthy baby is the embryo not given the opportunity to be transferred into a patient.

Rejoice ended its affiliation with the National Embryo Donation Center in September 2024. A number of patients who adopted embryos through the NEDC remained with Dr. Gordon / Rejoice Fertility through a Mediation Agreement.
