embryo adoption

Read a random definition: juristic person

A quick definition of embryo adoption:

Embryo adoption is when a family adopts an embryo that was created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and donated by another family. The embryo is then implanted into the adoptive mother's uterus to grow and develop into a baby. This is a way for families who cannot have children on their own to become parents and give a loving home to a child who needs one.

A more thorough explanation:

Embryo adoption is a type of adoption where a couple adopts an embryo that was created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and implanted into the woman's uterus to carry to term. This is different from traditional adoption where a child is adopted after birth.

Embryo adoption is often chosen by couples who struggle with infertility and want to experience pregnancy and childbirth. It is also a way for couples who have remaining embryos from their own IVF treatments to give them a chance at life instead of discarding them.

For example, a couple who has completed their family through IVF may have remaining embryos that they do not want to discard. They can choose to donate these embryos to another couple for adoption.

Another example is a couple who cannot conceive naturally and have exhausted other fertility treatments. They may choose to adopt an embryo and carry it to term.

Embryo adoption creates a parent-child relationship between the adoptive parents and the child that is born. The child is genetically related to the biological parents who donated the embryo, but legally and emotionally, the child belongs to the adoptive parents.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
