BioNews - Embryo relinquishment for family building – what's in a name?: In the US the relinquishment of embryos for family building is the subject of intense ideological debate. This has occurred not least because of the competing discourses of – on the one hand – a model of 'embryo donation', the traditional model espoused by some fertility professionals that to a large extent promotes anonymous donation, and - on the other - a model of 'embryo adoption', promoted by faith-based infant adoption programmes that have branched out into home-finding for unused embryos. The latter incorporates certain aspects of contemporary infant adoption placement practices, such as enabling relinquishing couples to choose recipient families for their embryos, making available information on genetic origins for infants conceived as a result, and promoting information-exchange and ongoing contact between relinquishing and recipient families.
