Surrogacy and Gestational Care
Melissa and Michael had a son using a surrogate. "I don't think there's anything to be embarrassed about. We're all human, and not every woman can get pregnant. And infertility, it happens around the world and there's nothing to hide."

Surrogacy and Gestational Care
What are the nine months like when a surrogate is pregnant with your child? Michael handled the surrogacy paperwork and finances, Melissa communicated with and built a relationship with their surrogate.
Egg Donation
Joyce says that women who have children through donor egg should be open about it - as she has been. "I think we're going to look at donor egg ten years down the road and realize that to keep it secret is also an archaic perception."

Egg Donation
Prior to her successful IVF cycle, Jill considered egg donation. "One of the beautiful things of egg donation is that you can carry the child even though it's not genetically yours. You can still go through the whole pregnancy process."
