Third-party reproduction

Any treatment involving a donor or surrogate.

Donor treatment & family building

Third-party reproduction brings extra counselling, legal and screening requirements in Canada, and the timelines are longer as a result. Building in time for legal advice and counselling avoids delays later.

Also known as: donor and surrogacy treatment
