Abstract
A faithful Catholic couple I know who have been married for nine years but are unable to have children asked me recently about embryonic adoption. I was a bit caught in the dark about that one, but I understand that it involves the legal adoption of an “unused” embryo (a product of in vitro fertilization or some such process) which is then implanted in a woman. Please can you tell me about the situation regarding IVF and update me on the opinion of the Catholic Church on adopting frozen embryos?1
