I don't think it will be done this way. I don't think many people will opt for adoption over their own kids. Most likely, you'll be injected with custom built retrovirus, like HIV minus all the nasty bits. Or transposon. The retrovirus will ensure the delivery of the right genes into the right cells.

Lol, mutations happen all the time, and we are still alive and well. Genetic engineering is not something humans invented, it was going on ever since life began.
