An Act permitting the adoption of embryos

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow adults to petition the probate court for the legal adoption of embryos. It directly affects individuals seeking to adopt embryos and the donors who created them. The legislation explicitly states that embryo donors cannot be held financially responsible for the resulting child's support or medical expenses. By adding this provision to existing adoption statutes, the bill formalizes the process for embryo adoption while protecting donors from future financial claims.
