I wonder what laws AL has about surrending children to the state. Some allow you to surrender babies under, say, 3 months old at a hospital or fire station and the state will take custody.

AL suddenly on the hook for the storage of hundreds if not thousands of people's surrendered embryos? I would think if a person has to start IVF treatment over in a new state, they aren't going to be motivated to keep paying for the embryos in AL.

Edit: still not sure about the specifics of AL, but all 50 states do have some form of safe-haven law.
