Indian Doctor Announces Embryo Adoption Program

If you’ve been around the infertility internet community for very long, you’ve heard of Dr. Malpani. He’s probably the best international fertility doctor marketer. (I’m not saying he’s the best doctor – just the best marketer. He could be a very good doctor, but I don’t know enough to say).
Dr Malpani is in the news for encouraging embryo adoption in India. In other words, American (or other international travelers) can go to India and have a donated embryo transferred to their own uterus.
"We are living in a world driven by technology. On the one hand, technology has given us contraception, that has meant fewer babies in general and fewer still for adoption. On the other hand, technology in infertility treatment has allowed us to freeze embryos." In other words, embryos can be adopted years after they were made.

There also are better techniques available to allow women, even those who have undergone menopause, to carry a child. "Within two weeks, we can ensure — with tablets and a single - injection every day — that the woman's endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, is thick enough to sustain a pregnancy," says Dr Malpani, who feels embryo adoption is best option for elderly women.
One single woman, a teacher from Colorado, is now pregnant from a donated embryo. She acknowledges that an Indian baby will be difficult to pass off as her own. "I will let the child know as soon as possible that it was adopted—albeit in a different manner."
The phrase “embryo adoption” is not the most politically correct term – at least in the United States, where current laws say that only live children can be adopted. However, I used the language Malpani uses for this blog.
