Your Family-Building Journey Begins Here

So, what are some of the common paths for LGBTQ+ folks looking to grow their families? Let’s break it down:

  • IVF and IUI: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are two popular fertility treatments that can help you on your journey. IUI involves placing sperm—either from a partner or a donor—directly into the uterus of a partner or surrogate. On the other hand, IVF is a bit more complex, involving egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer, making it a great choice for same-sex couples using donor sperm or those working with a surrogate.
  • Gestational Carriers: If you’re a male couple looking to have a baby, surrogacy is a fantastic option! We partner with top surrogacy agencies in Houston to help you find the right match. Plus, Texas is super accommodating when it comes to surrogacy.
  • Donor Eggs and Sperm: We have an extensive Donor Egg Bank with a diverse selection of carefully screened donors. If you’re looking for sperm, we can connect you with reputable sperm banks and assist you in creating a personalized plan for insemination.
  • Reciprocal IVF: This is an amazing option for lesbian and transgender couples, allowing one partner to provide the eggs while the other carries the pregnancy, making it a shared experience.
  • Fertility Preservation: For transgender individuals, we offer options like freezing eggs or sperm to help you realize your dream of parenthood before transitioning.

Choosing us means you’ll have a dedicated team ready to guide you through what can be a confusing and overwhelming process. Our Third Party Reproduction Department is specially designed to assist those using donor eggs, sperm, or gestational carriers, ensuring you have support at every turn.
