Becoming a Single Parent

Whether you identify as a Single Mom by Choice, Single Dad by Choice, or simply “Mom” or “Dad,” we’re here to support you every step of the way. Parenthood is deeply personal, and advancements in reproductive technology make it possible to grow your family on your own terms.

We offer individualized fertility solutions, access to trusted donor and surrogacy agencies, and comprehensive emotional and legal support – helping you navigate your journey with confidence and clarity.

1. Becoming a Single Mom

Available Fertility Options

We can help single women achieve parenthood through:

  • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with donor sperm – A minimally invasive, cost-effective procedure in which prepared donor sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation.
  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with donor sperm – Eggs are fertilized in a laboratory, followed by the transfer of embryos to the uterus. IVF allows for genetic testing and can offer higher success rates.

Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Fertility Assessment – Evaluate ovarian reserve, reproductive health, and discuss goals.
  2. Sperm Donor Selection – Choose from trusted sperm banks (e.g., Fairfax Cryobank) to match personal and genetic preferences.
  3. IUI or IVF Procedure – Depending on your plan, proceed with insemination or IVF.
  4. Follow-up Care – Ongoing monitoring, pregnancy testing, and early prenatal support.

Why Women Choose This Path

  • Desire for parenthood without waiting for a partner
  • Financial independence and career stability
  • Awareness of biological clock and fertility preservation needs

2. Becoming a Single Dad

Available Fertility Options

We help single men build families primarily through:

  • Egg Donation – Eggs provided by a donor (from egg banks such as Fairfax Egg Bank or through agencies).
  • Gestational Surrogacy – A surrogate carries the pregnancy using embryos created via IVF.

Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Planning – Define family goals and review medical requirements.
  2. Egg Donor Selection – Choose a donor based on personal, genetic, and medical criteria.
  3. IVF & Embryo Creation – Fertilize donor eggs with your sperm in the lab.
  4. Gestational Carrier Matching – Partner with reputable surrogacy agencies (e.g., Center for Surrogate Parenting) to find a trusted carrier.
  5. Pregnancy & Delivery – Ongoing monitoring, coordination with surrogacy agency, and preparation for birth.
