When it comes to starting a family, sometimes the journey takes unexpected turns. For many individuals or couples, working with a sperm, egg, or embryo donor, or even a gestational surrogate, can be a vital pathway to parenthood. These “third party” options open doors that might otherwise remain closed, but they also come with a host of questions and decisions to make. How do you choose the right donor or surrogate? What do you share with your child about their beginnings, or what do you discuss with friends and family?
