Surrogacy in Kansas City: What is 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 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.

Finding A Surrogate In Kansas City: What Are My Options?
If you are considering using a gestational surrogate to build and grow your family, you are likely trying to decide where to start. The first place most people start is considering if they have a family member or close friend that would be a good candidate. If that is an option for you, and the candidate is healthy physically and mentally, then that is most likely going to be the best option from a financial standpoint. Most people that utilize a family member or close friend do not pay any compensation and therefore save $20,000-$40,000.
If a family member or close friend is not an option for you, then you are left with trying to find someone on your own, or working with an agency. There are not many benefits of finding your own surrogate rather than working with an agency. Although you will save money (maybe) by not working with any agency since you will not pay an agency fee, many people that do try to find a surrogate on their own spend thousands of dollars on candidates that ultimately do now work out to be a viable candidate. In addition the emotional burden of the process can be very difficult to manage.
