Nightlight Adoptions is an adoption agency with a unique twist. It facilitates the adoption of frozen embryos. Because it can be a delicate issue with some unique legal challenges, Nightlight organized an essay competition inviting law students to submit position papers on embryo adoption.

"The winning students carefully tackled the issue of how to handle custody of a child born through embryo adoption after discovering that the egg donor never intended for any resulting embryos to be donated."

First place went to a student from the Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Fla., who received a $2,500 cash prize and a trip to the 2008 Emerging Issues in Embryo Donation and Adoption conference in Washington, D.C. Source: BusinessWire
