title: Adoptive pregnancy: legal and social work issues.
abstract: Medicine's recent advance in aiding reproduction, "adoptive pregnancy," is spawning a host of legal, ethical, and policy questions. Policies developed to cope with problems that have arisen in more traditional adoptions, including "the right to know" and access to genetic information, may provide a starting point for finding answers to some of the new dilemmas.
