Embryo Adoptions
Definition:
In embryo adoption, a couple that has a frozen embryo agrees to donate
the embryo to another couple or individual. The recipients of the embryo deliver
the child and later become legal parents of the child. Embryo adoption
is different in that the adopting mother is required to be able to carry the
child for the full-term. The responsibility for the embryos is transferred
to the adoptive families and the child is considered to fully belong to the
adoptive family.
Consequences of Embryo Adoptions:
Embryo adoption is relatively new. It is highly complex because of all the legal issues involved and the laws vary from state to state. Families who consider embryo adoption are recommended to consult with a family lawyer who has experience in this area. The adoptive party also needs to have an ethical medical provider and/or know a reputable donation center.What a Lawyer can do for you:
