FAQ

Questions come up, especially when multiple parties are involved. Here are a few common ones.

What is the difference between a joint consultation and an evaluation?

A joint consultation involves the intended parent(s) and gestational carrier and partner (if applicable), and/or gamete donor, if known, to discuss relationship expectations during and post-delivery, roles, communication, and journey preferences.

Do all participants need to be in the same location?

No. Consultations are virtual and participants can join from separate locations as long as privacy is maintained.

How do we protect privacy and boundaries?

We will clarify consent, communication preferences, and information to be shared, so everyone feels respected.
