Description

Experts at the University of Huddersfield are researching the emergence of a new style of family creation that sees couples “adopt” embryos and, after the child is born, remain in contact with the donors and in many cases develop a special relationship with them.

Subject

The team has been examining the policies of the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program, operated in the USA by the organization Nightlight Christian Adoptions.  In 1997, when it discovered that thousands of human embryos were being stored in fertility clinics, this group began to connect couples who had stored embryos that they did not plan to use themselves with couples who could not conceive and it encourages them to remain in contact.
