Snowflake adoption - founders/first family interview
First Snowflake Family by Devon Williams, associate editor'God’s plan was well in place for these embryos, and that was a plan of adoption instead of destruction.'
After years of infertility and being diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, Marlene Strege of California began to explore adoption. Her doctor recommended embryo adoption, and she and her husband, John, posed the idea to longtime friend Ron Stoddart, executive director of Nightlight Christian Adoptions. Stoddart investigated the idea and eventually created the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption program.
After prayer and research, the Streges adopted a frozen embryo, and on Dec. 31, 1998, they became the proud parents of the world’s first snowflake baby, Hannah.
Ten years after her first Mother's Day, Marlene Strege spoke with CitizenLink about the adoption of their little snowflake.
