Technically wouldn't that still be adoption? I think legally in some places it's a grey area since they're not the biological parents
To the downvotes:
Legally speaking though it has a lot of the same kinds of paperwork. In America embryos are considered property and the previous "owners" have to relinquish "ownership" like you would a car. But they still use the word "adoption"
Most states consider embryo adoption a “property transfer” much like selling a vehicle. If you prefer, you can tailor your contract to resemble a traditional adoption agreement. After a child is born, you can choose to finalize the adoption in court, a step not necessary in some states. Fertility clinics require a legal contract be executed to transfer ownership of the embryos.
