Using Surrogacy and Egg Donation | POF73

Not every family becomes one through traditional methods.  In this episode we are honouring all parents who have needed the help of others and science, to become parents.  Listen in as my guest, Parham Zar and I talk about couples who have used egg donation and surrogacy in order to grow their family.  We discuss what it takes to be a surrogate and how to choose one.  We talk about egg donation and all that it entails.  We also talk about what it takes to become a surrogate or egg donor. When faced with infertility, many women feel devastated and experience deep shame. What my guest provides for these women is hope!  We talk about the wide range of emotions parents feel from angst, anxiety to elation and love. However your family comes to be, whether you are able to conceive naturally, with the help of science, with a surrogate, or adoption, ALL parents experience the highs and lows of parenting and that is our common bond.   About Parham Zar Parham Zar, is the Founder and Managing Director of the Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute (EDSI) and a leading expert within the third party assisted reproductive industry.
