Colleen Ingram

is adopting a child from United States of America

Welcome to our adoption journey!

We are in the process of a kind of adoption we're betting you've never heard of… embryo adoption. The short version is, we get the amazing privilege of adopting 2-5 embryos from a couple who successfully completed their family through the IVF process and still had remaining frozen little created lives. They prayerfully decided that the best option for those unique creations was to put them up for adoption to a couple like us!

See the FAQs below for more details.

Most people would be surprised to know that even this type of adoption can cost up to $25,000 not including typical costs of pregnancy and birth. That is why we have chosen to fundraise part of that amount through this site. And also to bring awareness to this incredible scientific process and marvelous wonder of God!

Thank you for partnering with us in this journey.

He is a busy, curious, happy, smiling, singing, playful little guy. He looks and acts JUST like his Daddy, to which we always say, “only God... Read more

    WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    April 24, 2022
    That TWW (two week wait) was loooonnnnngggg. (See previous update about embryo transfer). I had told myself I was not going to take any at home pregnancy tests during the wait. I was going to wait for the official blood draw test at the clinic with actual numerical results, called a BETA, on the levels of HcG, the pregnancy hormone. The blood draw was done on a Monday at my local MN clinic, but the results would be sent to the IA clinic who conducted the transfer and they would be notifying us. I had requested they not call me... Read more

    Embryo Transfer

    April 24, 2022
    On March 1, 2022, exactly one year to the date that we began the embryo adoption process, we had our first embryo transfer! There was about 6 weeks of medical prep beforehand to get my body ready to receive this embryo and begin pregnancy. Although we have gladly invited many into our journey and so many have been praying for us along the way, we also chose to keep this transfer date somewhat quiet and private to walk through the experience together. There's a whole range of emotions and many unknowns. We knew we'd come to a time where we... Read more
