What is an intended parent evaluation?

Intended Parent (Psychoeducational) Evaluations are a required first step in starting your fertility process. During this consultation you will have the opportunity to address any psychological or emotional stressors related to your fertility treatment process.

In collaboration with fertility clinics, agencies, sperm banks and private parties, I screen, evaluate and explore the suitability of donor and surrogate candidates, ensuring they understand the commitment involved in the process of reproduction, as recommended by the Advanced Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). You will have an opportunity to openly address any emotional, psychological, and practical concerns related to your treatment process. This includes: disclosure to family, friends, and coworkers; how to talk about the process with friends and family; donor selection; readiness to use a known or anonymous sperm, egg, or embryo donor; finding ways to talk with children about their conception; and how to stand bravely in your decision to parent on your own.gMeetings typically last up to an hour depending on the service rendered and does not include time to prepare your written evaluation.
