[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. [b]It's an established term. Embryo adoption.[/b] There is a website for that. 
http://www.embryoadoption.org/
Any has experience going through this process and finding embryos of a particular race? I am not sure if donated embryo banks would be even big enough. Wondering how many couples would be considered donating and not discarding or giving it for research.

It's a politicized term.  We are looking to donate our embryos when we are sure we are finished having children.  It's a reasonably safe bet that websites facilitating "embryo adoption" are pro-life and are ultimately - and usually explicitly - anti-IVF.  Have a look at the snowflakes website.  We refer to it as embryo donation, and we would only donate to someone who sees this as a donation.  The recipients, by the way, are just that - recipients.[/quote]

+1 for the term, embryo donation. Embryo adoption is not the right way to phrase it, as cute as you may think it sounds. This concept walks a VERY fine line that brings up all kinds of "personhood" issues. [/quote]
