Viruses share a few characteristics with living organisms but not  many, viruses are essentially just chains of proteins. They contain  genetic information but they do not hâ¦ave any cellular stucture as  most other forms of life do.
Hopeful couples discover that adoption or gestational surrogacy costs from tens of thousands of dollars to more than $100,000. (And that's on top of the thousands of dollars many have already shelled out on fertility treatments, to say nothing about the emotional toll.)
But how does the cost of embryo adoption compare to your other options? In vitro fertilization can cost anywhere from $10,000-$18,000 for one cycle and the cost of donor eggs can range from $10,000-$50,000. Adoption usually ranges from $20,000-$50,000, with international adoption being at the top end of the spectrum. On average, embryo adoption costs $12,000-$15,000. The price of embryo adoption typically includes a home study, agency fees, matching services, legal contract, shipment of embryos to the adopting familyâs clinic, and lifetime maintenance of records.
