Embryos are used in various techniques of assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization and embryo donation.

This set the stage to allow open and candid discussion of embryo donation and transfer.

The less loaded term for embryo adoption is "embryo donation."

While experts say embryo adoption, also called embryo donation, is rare, the Grays' predicament is not.

Only five states have laws governing embryo donation.

Still, both sides hired lawyers; Virginia has a law addressing embryo donations, but Georgia does not.

In embryo donation, these extra embryos are given to other couples or women for transfer with the goal of producing a successful pregnancy.

In the case of embryo donation, the conceiving parents are a couple.

These scientific advances set the stage to allow open and candid discussion of embryo donation and transfer as a solution to infertility.
