Weekend Wisdom – Are You Considering Embryo Donation or Embryo Adoption?
The Ethics Committee of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine has stated that the correct term for donating unused embryos to another couple for family building is embryo donation rather than embryo adoption. But since many people looking for information on this option continue to call it embryo adoption, we sometimes use both terms to aid in finding our materials. Further, there are a few agencies that have an donation program; they follow an adoption model, and they call it embryo adoption.
