Today, the Georgia House of Representatives passed a bill which allows for the adoption of embryos that are currently in cryopreservation. The bill also designates embryos as children, rather than property.

"You donate property, but you adopt persons... While four states have recognized some form of embryo 'donation', none of those states have a statute explicitly authorizing embryo 'adoption'."

The bill goes next to the Georgia Senate. If the bill is passed there and signed into law by Governor Sonny Perdue, Georgia will become the first state to designate the transfer of human embryos as adoption rather than donation. Source: MetroCatholic
