Organization of Parents Through Surrogacy www.opts.com is a national, all-volunteer educational, networking and referral organization for people considering surrogacy. Intake Form Third Party Intake Form Has your physician suggested that your best chance of a successful pregnancy would be to use donor sperm, donor eggs or donated embryos? Although not just another high tech treatment option, it can be a wonderful way to create your family! You experience pregnancy and childbirth even though you surrender some genetic links. Or are you considering using a surrogate? You'll maintain a genetic link, even though you don't experience your own pregnancy. Services I Offer: Consultation If you are considering any of these options, give yourself the opportunity to explore your feelings about the loss of genetic connection to a potential child or the pregnancy experience. Discuss whether you would want to tell others and/or the child and how you could do that. A written report about our consultation session can be prepared for your physician if required. Known Donor and Surrogate Screening If you have a sibling, family member or close friend who is considering being a donor or surrogate for you, they will need to speak with a therapist familiar with infertility to confirm that they understand the process and are emotionally prepared to move forward with treatment. Get the information you need to make an informed choice, and don't go through this on your own. Call today!   ©2009 Penny Joss Fletcher, All rights reserved.
