Abstract
Abstract This study phenomenologically explored 36 embryo adoption couples’ experience of choosing a donor and considering what kind of connection, if any, they wished to have with the donor. Thirty-six embryo recipient couples from across the United States participated in a 60 to 90-minute semi-structured interview where they described how they chose the donor family and their thoughts about connections with the donating family. Qualitative analyses of interview data revealed three themes: Choosing the Donor Family, Choosing Open/Semi-open/Closed adoption, and Contact with the Donating Family. Resulting themes are discussed in light of the limited existing literature on embryo donors and recipients.
期刊介绍：
Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
