Family Building for Gay men
Olive is dedicated to helping gay men build their family. To do this, you will need an egg donor, gestational carrier, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) or shared IVF.
Shared IVF
If you are a gay couple, you may want to each have biological offspring.
Once you have chosen an egg donor, you can elect to have half the eggs fertilized with one partner’s sperm and the other half of the eggs fertilized by the other partner. The fertilized eggs would then be grown into embryos in the lab. An embryo created from each of the partner’s sperm can then be transferred into the uterus of a gestational carrier.
Pathways to Parenthood for Gay Men
Although everyone’s path to parenthood is unique, here are some common scenarios.
