Assisted Family Building Psychological Evaluations
Assisted Family Building Psychological Evaluations
You’ve struggled to add a child to your family for a long time and received the recommendation from your doctor to consider using a donor to grow your family.
It might be a medical condition that has contributed to this decision, or a long-term struggle with unexplained infertility that gets you to your meeting with me.
You may have suffered birth trauma or unspeakable loss along the way, leading you to the recommendation to move forward in growing your family through surrogacy.
After finding that “perfect match,” you’re ready to move forward with planning the pregnancy with a gestational carrier and figuring out how you want to work together in one of the most intimate relationships out there.
Perhaps you say the following to yourself:
“Will having my child this way damage them forever?”
“Will my baby love me back even though we’re not genetically related?”
“How do I know if my GC is really ready to take on a surrogacy journey with me?”
Stephanie specializes in psychological consultations and evaluations for people involved in alternative family building methods, such as donor conception and surrogacy journeys.
She aims to be a guide along families’ paths through assisted reproduction.
She is an active member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, and follows ASRM guidelines for conducting her meetings with fertility clinic patients.
As a member, she stays up-to-date on new research findings affecting donor-conceived people, parents of donor-conceived children, and the nuances associated with managing surrogacy relationships. It’s not just buns and ovens that make families, but that is where it all starts.
