Our mission is to protect the lives and dignity of human embryos. We do that by promoting, facilitating and educating about embryo donation and adoption (ED/EA). We've had the honor of facilitating more embryo adoption births than any organization in the world. We’re also the only clinic-based organization that works with families of all races, faiths and ethnic backgrounds. The NEDC is located in Knoxville, TN, which we like to call The Embryo Adoption Capital of the World.

Our Vision is to share the love of Christ through the life-affirming process of embryo adoption while striving to place every donated embryo into a loving home. We will be a beacon in the darkness showing the love and respect due to these cryopreserved human embryos since they represent the very least of us. We look forward to the day when the responsible practice of reproductive medicine will render our services unnecessary.
