See What Our Surrogates Have to Say

Learn from the experiences of families, surrogates, and egg donors who have helped build families through this process.

Why do people in Kansas City use egg donors to have a baby?

The medical terminology given to women/couples that are candidates for utilizing an egg donor to conceive are women with premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve.   Many people have never heard those terms, and will never fully understand the emotional and psychological burden of those that carry the diagnoses.

Emotionally, women and couples that utilize an egg donor to conceive do so because they want to realize their dream of experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.  In some ways, the wonderful feeling of hope which egg donation gives to others, is similar to what people experience that receive the gift of organ donation to extend their life.

For those that dream of having a baby or babies, using an egg donor is not part of that dream, at least initially.  But for those whose dreams are shattered by the diagnoses of infertility, and the inability to realize what we all assume is our reproductive right, it is an amazing opportunity.

Using a Gestational Surrogate to Build Your Family: Is this the right decision for you?

The dream of having a child is something most women have and cherish from the time they are little girls.  The joy of being pregnant and seeing your belly grow, the excitement of feeling your baby kick, and giving birth to your child, is all part of the dream.  It is understood that the most wonderful part of the experience is the child that will be born that will be loved and cherished as a new member of the family.

For some, carrying a child is not an option.  Using a gestational surrogate to have a baby is not what we dream of, but it is an option many families choose to realize the dream of having a baby.  How do you know if using a gestational surrogate is the right decision for you?

Gathering information from reliable sources is a good place to start.  Good decisions come from being well informed and understanding the consequences of choices.  Contact Pathways To Parenthood today to learn more about gestational surrogacy and learn if it is the right decision for you.

Motivation for Egg Donors in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri

Although the motivation to donate their eggs varies among women, there are some common reasons why young women want to donate their eggs.  As is commonly known, egg donors are generously compensated for their time and effort to donate their eggs to others that need an egg donor to build their families.  Certainly financial compensation is a motivating factor, but for many young egg donors, other motivators are as important, or more important to them.  The biggest motivator for egg donors to donate is the satisfaction they receive knowing they provided an opportunity to another women to experience pregnancy and motherhood.  Many egg donors state they would donate their eggs even if there were not financial compensation.   Many intended parents are initially concerned about the motivation of egg donors, and if a donor might in the future try to find them, and/or any children that are conceived from their donation.  This is a reasonable but unfounded concern.  There is not any research to support this common fear, and in fact, research shows that the only future oriented concerns or thoughts egg donors have about their donation, is that the families raising their donor conceived child are good parents, and that the children are well cared for and loved.   To learn more about egg donor motivations, and the egg donation process, contact Pathways To Parenthood today.
