Snowflake Babies


Snowflake Babies are babies and children who were fertilized in vitro and then cryo-preserved, or "frozen," as embryos for storage until they were allowed to be implanted in a mother and then born, often through embryo adoption. There are now 134 such children living, the first being Hannah, born in 1998. Nightlight Christian Adoptions began an embryo adoption program in 1997 in an effort to help more than 400,000 frozen embryos realize their ultimate purpose ~LIFE~ while sharing the hope of a child with an infertile couple. Multi-ethnic embryos also await adoption.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you.

~Jeremiah 1:5~
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die
so that you may live as you wish.
~Mother Teresa~
