How to Become a Gestational Surrogate In Kansas City
Here are a few considerations for becoming a gestational surrogate:
- Are you healthy? As much as you might want to help others in such a special way, if you are not in good health you will likely not be approved by a clinic.
- Are you a mother? To be considered as a candidate, you must have had an uncomplicated pregnancy or given birth to a healthy child in the past 10 years.
- Are you a care-taker? If you enjoy helping and caring for others, then being a gestational surrogate may be perfect for you.
- Are you organized? There are many steps and responsibilities involved in becoming and being a gestational surrogate so good organization skills are a must.

Egg Donation in Kansas City: Inadvertent Consanguinity
There are many considerations intended parents must make when choosing to use an egg donor to build and grow their family. One that is not talked about often, but is a consideration nonetheless is inadvertent consanguinity.
The definition of consanguinity is: of the same blood or origin; specifically: descended from the same ancestor. The real life concern for intended parents using an egg donor (or sperm donor) to build and grow their family is: “Will my child meet, fall in love with and marry his or her half-sibling?” The answer is, of course it is possible, but probably not likely.
What this topic does call into very careful consideration is the topic of disclosure to a donor-conceived child the fact that they are donor-conceived. There are many benefits of disclosing to a donor-conceived child the specifics of their conception. Preventing inadvertent consanguinity is one of them.

Ethnic Egg Donors In Kansas City Needed: Contact Pathways To Parenthood Today!
Many egg donor agencies and fertility clinics face the challenge of finding donors of different ethnicities. Currently we are looking for Asian, Indian and African-American donors.
On top of the heartache that is typical with infertility, ethnic couples face special challenges when it comes to finding egg donors largely due to cultural reasons. Few young women of Asian, Indian, Jewish and Middle Eastern descent choose to participate in the increasingly popular form of assisted reproduction.
In certain cultures, elder family members wouldn’t understand. Also, young college-educated women, who are most in demand, frequently don’t want to undergo or do not actually understand the treatments that are needed to induce ovulation and the harvesting of their eggs. That means long waits for would-be parents who often have already tried other alternatives and who long for a baby that shares their genetic heritage. And sometimes, couples end up paying inflated fees.
At Pathways To Parenthood, the process is completely anonymous and we work with highly trained physicians and fertility clinics that are very skilled in what they do. If you are a female of ethnic decent and would like to help someone of your own culture, please contact us at www.pathwaystoparenthood.com.
