Embryo adoption is a lower cost option of in vitro fertilization with egg donation and sperm donation when compared to the cost of new in vitro fertilization with egg donation and sperm donation, implying no genetic connection with intended parents. Embryo adoption is a consequence of embryo donation.

Embryo donation is a form of third party reproduction. It is defined as the giving—generally without compensation—of embryos remaining after one family’s in vitro fertilisation to either another person or a couple for implantation or for research. Where it is given for the purpose of implantation, the donation is followed by the placement of those embryos into the recipient woman’s uterus to facilitate pregnancy and childbirth in the recipient. The resulting child is considered the child of the woman who carries it and gives birth, and not the child of the donor. This is the same principle as is followed in egg donation or sperm donation. Most often, the embryos are donated after the woman for whom they were originally created has successfully carried one or more pregnancies to term.
