ART Family Building Consultations and Screenings

I offer consultations for individuals and couples using or considering using 3rd party donors (sperm donor, egg donor and/or gestational carriers) in addition to conducting screenings of sperm donors, egg donors and gestational carriers following ASRM guidelines.

Often times these evaluations are clinic mandated and intended parents can feel like this is yet another “hoop” to jump through to build their family. I have created an individualized process to make these evaluations as meaningful and informative to you as possible. Before we schedule our meeting, we will have a phone consultation where I learn which topics are most important to you as an intended parent and what attributes are most important to you in a donor or gestational carrier.

I also offer joint sessions between you and your gestational carrier to make sure everyone is on the same page. If your donor or gestational carrier is a known donor (e.g. friend or family member) this joint session may be required to make sure everyone is on the same page on important topics such as number of embryos transferred, termination and relationships between involved parties.

Choosing to use a donor or gestational carrier is a big decision, these evaluations and screenings are meant to help set you up for the most successful journey possible as you grow your family.
