FAQs

  • What's the difference between using a donor and a surrogate?

    A donor provides eggs, sperm, or embryos to help create a pregnancy, while a surrogate carries and delivers the baby for intended parents. Sometimes both donor and surrogate services are used together, depending on medical or personal needs.

  • How are donors screened?

    Donors undergo extensive screening, including medical history, genetic testing, infectious disease testing, and psychological evaluations. This ensures the highest standards of safety and suitability.

  • Can I choose my egg or sperm donor?

    Yes. Intended parents can review donor profiles, which may include medical background, education, physical traits, and sometimes personal essays or photos. The choice is ultimately yours, with guidance from your clinical team. This ensures the highest standards of safety and suitability.

  • What's the difference between anonymous and known donors?

    Anonymous donors maintain complete confidentiality with no identifying information shared, while known donors may allow some level of contact or information exchange. Some programs offer “open identity” donors, where the donor’s identity can be revealed to offspring when they reach adulthood. Your clinic can help you understand the options available and their implications.

  • What types of surrogacy are available?

    Gestational surrogacy (where the surrogate carries an embryo created through IVF using the intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material) Gestational surrogacy involves no genetic connection between the surrogate and the baby.

  • How does the legal process work for surrogacy?

    Surrogacy involves detailed legal agreements to protect both the surrogate and intended parents. Attorneys specializing in reproductive law ensure parentage rights, responsibilities, and financial arrangements are clearly outlined before the process begins.

  • What kind of relationship do intended parents have with their surrogate?

    The relationship varies based on everyone’s preferences and what’s outlined in the legal agreement. Some intended parents maintain regular contact throughout the pregnancy and beyond, while others prefer more limited interaction.

  • Who typically uses donor or surrogacy services?

    Donor and surrogacy services are commonly used by couples with infertility, single parents by choice, LGBTQ+ families, women who cannot safely carry a pregnancy, and those with genetic conditions they do not want to pass on.
