Tips To Cope With The Holidays in Kansas City

Hippity Hop Hop here comes Easter.  For many, Easter is a joyous holiday celebrated with family and friends.  For those that have struggled with infertility, the joy of celebrating is overshadowed with the sadness and dread of spending another family-focused/kid-focused holiday feeling sad and hopeless (maybe even a little angry).

There is always the option of just not participating in any celebration or family get together.  And frankly, sometimes that is the best option.  But for those of you that would like other suggestions on how to cope, here are a few:

1. If you are telling yourself that you should or should not do something, feel something, or expect something, you are going to feel worse than you already do. It is reasonable to expect  to feel rotten to some degree during any holiday season while you are going through such a difficult life experience.

2. Be selective about the family events you will attend, or limit how long you will be in attendance.   Again, don’t tell yourself  you should or should not consider this option.  Doing so may lessen the pain you will experience from the holiday.

3. Create new traditions with your partner/spouse.  It is perfectly acceptable to do something new and/or different to celebrate a holiday season.  Any disappointment that your family, or your spouse’s family may express may be more bearable than a roomful of children at the family gathering.

Working With A Local Kansas City-Based Surrogacy Agency

If you have been through the overwhelming process of deciding to use an egg donor or gestational surrogate to build and grow your family, you understand you have options as to which agency or egg bank to work with.    There are always pros and cons to any decision so it is important to weight both sides when deciding who to trust with such an important life event.

If you live in the Kansas City area, working with a local agency like Pathways To Parenthood, we offer benefits that you will not find with other agencies.  The most important one is that your clinic likely has worked with us before and can offer you insight into the professionalism and experience of our staff.

Another benefit is Pathways To Parenthood’s egg donor candidates and gestational surrogates are well screened and live in the states of Kansas or Missouri.  This can reduce your overall peace of mind as well as the costs of agency fees, donor/surrogate compensation, and travel costs.
