1 in 6 people globally affected by infertility

Milena O'Hara · April 4, 2023 ·

The World Health Organization issued a report this week showing approximately 17.5% of the adult population – roughly 1 in 6 worldwide – experience infertility. The statistics were roughly the same regardless of geographic area and economic status.

For those with the resources and access, egg donation, sperm donation, and surrogacy are available solutions. In the US, there are limited grants available through organizations such as Resolve.

Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse

International Women’s Day!

Milena O'Hara · March 8, 2023 ·

On this International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate those surrogates (and their families) who have given up their time, comfort, and a bit of their autonomy to help people create families.

The ideal surrogate falls within the guidelines of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). She should be a healthy woman between the ages of 21 and 42 (preferably younger than 35), with a history of a normal pregnancy and full-term delivery without complication. But most importantly, she should be someone intended parents connect with and trust to be a part of their journey.

Thank you, beautiful angels.

The Equality Act is an historic milestone passed by Congress recognizing LGBTQ individuals have been subjected to pervasive discrimination. The Equality Act bans discrimination against LGBTQ parents and youth in foster care and adoption by outlawing discrimination in federal funding and public accommodations. Child welfare agencies are prohibited from considering a prospective foster parents’ sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex when making placement decisions. Whether through foster care, adoption, or surrogacy, individuals of all sexual orientations are free to take part in the privileges enjoyed by all parents.
