Embryo adoption and embryo donation are both extremely serious processes that potentially have life-long psychological consequences. It is wise to examine your feelings about embryo adoption in great detail before making any decision.

The implications for the donor-conceived child must also be considered. Because embryo adoption is a relatively new process, not much is known about this side of the story.
