Diverse Gender Partners : Frequently Asked Questions about IVF for LGBTQ Families
Will you be able to see the sperm donor's physical appearance and their detailed profile information when you're going through the IVF process?
In America, a recipient can see a sperm donor’s childhood photos as well as his basic information. The recipient can decide whether he is an ideal donor or not through his educational background, accomplishments and specialties. In order to protect each other’s privacy, they won’t know or contact each other. The sperm donor has to sign legal documents waiving his parental right to ensure that the child completely belongs to the recipient in the near future.
When You Use Donor Eggs in America, Can You See the Egg Donor’s Appearance and Detailed Information?
Undergoing IVF with donor eggs in America, the recipients can see the pictures of donors after entering adulthood. They can also learn about the donors’ height, educational background, hobbies, even whether their family members are still alive or not, their family medical history, IQ test and best subject in school for reference.
What If You Don’t Have Enough Budget When Halfway Done Going Through The Whole Treatment?
RSMC is a formal hospital. You do not have to pay for the further treatment in advance. You don’t have to complete the treatments all at a time, either. As a matter of fact, you can decide when to have the next treatment at your own pace. Let’s take surrogacy with same-sex male couples as an example here. They can collect sperm to create a frozen embryo with donor eggs first, and then they can hire a surrogate later when they are ready with the financial support. All of the consultants in our hospital are full-time employees.We make it our priority that our patients know about any potential additional pricings that may occur later during the treatment. You may rest assured that all your rights and benefits are protected by the contracts. If you need a consultation, please feel free to contact us.
