Is Embryo Donation Right for You?

Having remaining embryos after completing your family can bring up a lot of questions. For some, embryo donation offers a meaningful way to help another family experience parenthood while honouring the life already created.

At Her Helping Habit, we support known embryo donation, allowing you to be part of a more transparent and intentional process.

What Is Known Embryo Donation?

Known embryo donation is a process where embryo donors and recipients are not anonymous to one another. Instead, both parties have the opportunity to connect, share values, and establish a level of communication that feels right for everyone involved.

This approach allows for greater openness, clarity, and long-term peace of mind for both families and future children.

A More Intentional Way to Donate

Through our program, you are not simply donating embryos — you are choosing the type of connection and impact you want to have.

We guide you through:

Thoughtful matching based on values and preferences
Optional connection with recipient families
Clear communication expectations from the beginning
Emotional, logistical, and educational support throughout

Is Embryo Donation the Right Path for You?

If your personal, ethical, or religious beliefs make discarding embryos feel uncomfortable, donation may feel like a more meaningful.
For those who have experienced infertility firsthand, embryo donation can be a meaningful way to support another family’s journey. Many donors feel a deep sense of empathy, purpose, and reward in helping others experience parenthood.
For some, donating their embryos offers a meaningful sense of closure, allowing them to move forward while knowing they are helping another family build theirs.
There are ongoing costs associated with storing embryos. Through our program, donors are not out of pocket for expenses related to the donation process, including legal and agency costs, allowing you to move forward without additional financial burden.
After completing their family, some individuals or couples are left with remaining embryos and are unsure what to do next. Donation offers an alternative to continued storage, allowing those embryos to be used in a way that aligns with their values.
