  I don't personally have experience with this unfortunately. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of transport fee etc. I'd presume it gets complicated. Best of luck to you. I hope you get some answers!

  Hi!
  I'm not sure how it works in the USA, but here in Scandinavia you have to pay extra for transport.
  (than again, they like to charge you for any extra thing they can charge you)
  You'll probably have administration fee and additional cost for legal consultation, insurance, ...

  Thank you @oxinfree and @tvh1982 .  My adoption agency fee covers the cost of transport, legal paperwork and coordinating everything, so that's why I'm wondering what the additional fees from the fertility clinic are for...especially since the fees are more expensive than the procedure itself.  I've spoken with my adoption agency and they have a relationship with the fertility clinic so they are going to check into it for me and hopefully get some more answers.    Thank you for your responses!

  @jewels2016 - I don't know about any of this stuff, but it seems so unfair to be charged yet another fee just because you're using donor embryos. Sorry for all the complications! Good luck to you!
