donor egg, sperm, embryo, consultation, fertility

Using donor egg, sperm, or embryos to build a family is a meaningful and often emotional decision. As recommended by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), I offer counseling sessions specifically for individuals and couples preparing for third-party reproduction. These sessions are designed to support you in navigating the emotional, relational, and ethical considerations involved in this path to parenthood.

During our time together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings about the donor conception process, review what to expect, and talk through the questions that naturally arise such as navigating the loss of a genetic connection, how and when to share this part of your family story with a child, and how to discuss the process with family and friends. We’ll also consider decision-making questions, including donor selection and any unique factors relevant to your family structure, such as single parenthood or same-sex parenting.

Most individuals or couples complete this process in a single 90-minute session, though additional support is available if desired.
