​Our story continues as we decided to grow our family at the beginning of 2024, and this time I wanted to be the one to carry. I underwent all of the same testing and we were able to utilize the same sperm donor. We were very lucky, as my first IUI was successful and we were blessed with our second child, a son in May of 2025!
My personal Family building story
My wife and I knew that we always wanted to have a family. We also knew that our journey to parenthood would be unique and likely challenging. We both wanted to have the experience of pregnancy and decided that my wife would be the one to carry and deliver our first child. The process was much longer and more challenging than we had first thought - there was so much to learn and so many "steps" in the process.
After all the testing was complete to make sure my wife was in good health to get pregnant and carry a child, we were tasked with finding a sperm donor to create our family. We underwent two cycles of IUI (intrauterine insemination) and the second one was successful! We were so happy to welcome our first child, a daughter in August of 2023!
My personal experience with family building really adds value to my work as a counselor. When we were going through the process, we didn't have anyone who understood fully or had been through the process, which can be isolating and lonely. I get it. I've been there and I'm so happy and excited to support others, especially LGBTQIA+ individuals in their own unique journeys to parenthood!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Third Party Donor Evaluation?
A Third-Party Donor Evaluation is a specialized clinical assessment required for individuals or couples who are donating or receiving reproductive material—such as donor sperm, donor eggs, donor embryos, or participating as a gestational carrier/surrogate.
This evaluation is typically conducted by a therapist trained in reproductive mental health and focuses on:
-
Emotional readiness: Understanding the psychological implications of donating or receiving genetic material.
-
Motivation & expectations: Exploring your reasons for pursuing third-party reproduction and ensuring expectations are healthy and realistic.
-
Informed consent: Reviewing emotional, ethical, and relational considerations so you can make fully informed decisions.
-
Family & relationship dynamics: Discussing how this choice may impact your current relationships and future family.
-
Future planning: Considering disclosure to future children and long-term emotional impacts.
Clinics and fertility centers often require this evaluation to ensure everyone involved—donors, recipients, and future children—is entering the process with clarity, stability, and support.
What is the financial investment for the third party donor evaluation?
I charge a flat-rate of $300 for the written report that is sent to your clinic and $50 for the evaluation session for a total fee of $350. These sessions and the written evaluation are NOT covered by insurance. The fee is due before the report is delivered to your clinic.
How fast can I get the third party donor evaluation done?
I know this is just another "thing" you have to do to - I don't want to slow you down. I guarantee quick appointments for evaluation sessions (within a week) and reports delivered to your clinic within 48 hours of your session!
