Finding a Gestational Surrogate in Kansas City: How long will it take?
February 11, 2015Planning to use a gestational surrogate to build and grow your family is a wonderful opportunity for those that do not have the option of carrying or delivering a baby. Making the final decision and being ready can take quite some time so when you are ready, waiting to find the right surrogate can feel like an eternity.
If you choose to find your own gestational surrogate, it can take many months to years to find a candidate that meets all of your requirements, and all of your doctor’s requirements. Many times intended parents will go through a screening process with 2-3 candidates if not more to find the right person.

What Is The Ideal Age For An Egg Donor In Kansas City?
December 17, 2014Using an egg donor to build and grow a family is a major life event for intended parents. It is a very expensive family building option so it is important that egg donors are healthy and fertile giving intended parents the best chances possible to conceive.
The biggest factor influencing an egg donor’s ability to be healthy and fertile is her age. That is why the ideal age for an egg donor is between the ages of 21 and 29. Age 29 cut-off helps eliminate the fertility decline that happens for all women around 30 years of age. The reason that most egg donors are not younger than 21 is that egg donors that are younger than 21 do not always understand the commitment and importance of being an egg donor.
