In situations when the couple divorces, there are many things that could happen to the embryo. In fertility clinics couples sign a contract. If ever this situation would occur, the frozen embryo could be donated to another couple who wants to have a baby. It could also be destroyed after a certain period of time. What happens to the embryo usually depends on what the couples have agreed upon. There was a couple in Tennessee who had a divorce. They were both from the army. When their relationship did not work out, the woman decided to take custody of the frozen embryo. She opted to have it implanted in her womb ( HYPERLINK httppublic.findlaw.combookshelf-mdfmdf-6-4.html httppublic.findlaw.combookshelf-mdfmdf-6-4.html).

Visitation rights with regard to the surrogate mother should not be allowed. This is to foster a better developmental growth for the child. This will prevent confusion on the childs part on who hisher parents are. Having this kind of situation, the family members would have better relationships with one another.
