    After nearly 10 years of infertility, my husband and I are expecting a baby boy in August 2025 with the help of the NEDC! The NEDC was recommended to us by our home study provider (whom we used for our domestic infant adoption previously), and the podcast was so helpful and informative as we sought God’s will for our next steps to grow our family. I have loved hearing all the different stories from different perspectives, and I felt more prepared entering the process because I had listened to s... more

  • Very Cool Podcast About an AMAZING Way To Grow Your Family

    Embryo Adoption is not very well known and so I am SOOOO HAPPY that I can learn more about it through this podcast as I consider it. I am a Christian and I believe life starts at conception and I am so excited that the NEDC is on a “rescue mission” for all the little frozen embryos who need a family who loves them. Thank you all for doing what you do and for getting the info out there to someone like me.
