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.

胚胎接受者与供体关系的考虑

摘要本研究从现象学角度探讨了36对胚胎收养夫妇选择捐赠者的经历，并考虑了他们希望与捐赠者建立什么样的联系（如果有的话）。来自美国各地的36对胚胎接受者夫妇参加了一次60到90分钟的半结构化采访，他们描述了他们如何选择捐赠家庭，以及他们对与捐赠家庭关系的想法。访谈数据的定性分析揭示了三个主题：选择捐赠家庭、选择开放/半开放/封闭收养以及与捐赠家庭的联系。根据现有关于胚胎供体和受体的有限文献，讨论了由此产生的主题。

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.
