Helping LGBTQ Couples Build a Family

LGBTQ Same-Sex Couple Family Building

Feeling like it’s time to start a family? There’s nothing like the joy you can experience from raising a child (or children) together with your LGBTQ partner. We help lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals and couples start families using the latest assisted reproductive technologies.

What Are Our Fertility Options As a Gay Couple?

Same-sex family building options for gay individuals and gay couples is often difficult to navigate given the need for an egg donor, a surrogate and special infectious disease screening of the intended father(s).

Santa Monica Fertility simplifies the process by offering a single medical and legal team, along with its own designated Donor Egg Bank and Surrogacy Agency. This integrated approach allows for efficient and confidential coordination of all steps and greatly improves the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.
