Embryo Adoption: A Wonderful Option
There are thousands of couples who have everything going for them--happy marriages, successful careers, and wonderful homes—but they are suffering because of infertility. Such couples may have tried for years to conceive and give birth to a baby, but nothing has worked. If you are such a couple, embryo adoption may be a wonderful option for you!
What is Embryo Adoption?
Through the use of
in vitro fertilization (IVF), many couples have been blessed with the joy of giving birth to a child. Along with that joy, there may come a dilemma—extra frozen embryos that the couple no longer intends to use.
That’s where embryo donation and adoption comes in. In order to give their precious embryos the best chance of living a full life, couples with extra embryos are often willing to donate them to couples suffering from infertility. By means of an informed consent agreement (or contract) the donors transfer full responsibility for the embryos to the adopting couple.
Then, a trained physician will thaw a select number of the embryos and transfer them to the womb of the intended mother. Hopefully, this will result in a successful pregnancy and healthy birth. Any child born in this manner becomes the legal son or daughter of the adopting couple who gives them birth!
