Navigating Family Building with Donors or Surrogates

September 15, 2026 | 7:00–8:30 PM (via Zoom)

Building a family can take many different paths, each with its own practical, legal, and emotional considerations.

Join us for a conversation with trusted experts who will help guide you through the possibilities and challenges of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) using donors or surrogates.

Topics will include:

  • Legal considerations in gestational surrogacy and
    donor conception

  • Emotional and psychosocial aspects of working with a
    donor or gestational carrier

  • Considerations for raising a donor-conceived child

Scheduled to speak:
