Known Donation Consultation Process
 The known donation process includes multiple sessions designed to ensure all parties are fully informed and prepared for this unique journey. These sessions are designed to provide guidance, resources, and support to help ensure a smooth and positive experience for everyone. My role is to help you navigate this process with confidence—clarifying expectations, addressing concerns, and fostering open communication between all parties.
Below is an overview of each step:
1. Donor InterviewYour donor, along with their significant other (if applicable), will participate in an interview to discuss their mental health status and history and explore the long-term psychosocial aspects of donation. This session follows ASRM guidelines, covering the full list of recommended topics. It includes important topics such as expectations, emotional considerations, and the type of relationship they may have with you and/or the child in the future. Fee and details.
2. Objective Personality Testing (If Required)
Some fertility clinics require donors to undergo personality testing, while others do not. The test may be one of two validated assessments designed to screen for current psychological challenges. Please check with your clinic to determine if this step is necessary for your known donor. Schedule Donor Appointment with PAI Test
Schedule Donor Appointment WITHOUT PAI Test
3. Intended Parent(s) ConsultationYou and your significant other (if applicable) will meet for a consultation to discuss topics according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidelines. This session helps you navigate the emotional and social aspects of known donation. Fee and details.

4. Group Consultation ConsultationAn important part of the process, group sessions bring together the intended parents and the donor to openly discuss expectations, boundaries, and the nature of the relationship moving forward. Fee and details. Schedule Group Session
5. Follow-Up Sessions (If Needed)Additional sessions may be recommended based on individual needs to ensure ongoing support and clarity for all parties involved. Each session includes a consultation fee—please contact us for details on pricing and availability.
