Part Two: The Fertile Heart Road to Birthing Your Family through Donor Conception, five Fertile Heart moms share their experience with the egg donation process.

The egg donation journey can become a source of healing for the prospective parents as well as the young woman who chooses to participate in the process. The case histories of the moms in the Fertile Heart community are a testament to the potential to use this ART option as a life-affirming path for everyone involved

It is also true is that this road  parenthood can evoke a myriad conflicting feelings for both parents. Egg donation is also the most costly, thus most profitable and the most contentious of all reproductive choices. With The Egg Donation as an Instrument of Healing program we hope to inform, inspire and contribute to a deeper dialogue about donor conception
