One of the newest developments in family building stemming from assisted reproductive technologies is embryo donation, which has also been referred to as "embryo adoption." Sometimes parents who have been fortunate enough to complete their family building through assisted reproductive methods have remaining embryos. Often these families choose to donate their embryos rather than have them destroyed or stored indefinitely, so they give others a chance to experience to joy of parenthood. Embryo adoption has a variety of benefits: Experience pregnancy and the birth of your child. Be certain your unborn child receives the best prenatal care. Obtain extensive genetic, medical, and social information regarding your child. Wait less time before the birth of your child than other infertility options because embryo donation short cuts the infertility treatment process by beginning with an embryo instead of an unfertilized egg and sperm. Possibly lessen your financial burden. Bypass many of the infertility treatments' undesirable side effects created by hormone therapy. Donated embryos are also used in cases of gestational surrogacy.
