Are you struggling with infertility and considering using donor eggs as a family building option? Do you have questions about the costs and logistics of using donor eggs? Are you still unsure if donor egg will be the right choice for your family building solution? RESOLVE of New England, the Bay State's leading infertility advocacy and education organization, is hosting its annual Donor Egg Decision Making Seminar this Saturday, June 5, 2010, at the Children's Hospital in Waltham.

Sessions will cover a range of topics associated with using donor eggs, such as discussing the process of selecting an egg donor and examining the psychosocial impact on both the infertile couple and their future child to extended family and friends. Sessions will also focus on the legal implications and financial commitments of using an egg donor. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear perspectives on using known versus anonymous egg donors.

The Donor Egg Decision Making Seminar will provide participants with a variety of information from trusted professionals in the field. Participants will have a chance to interact with infertility professionals from both the medical and the egg donor agency communities. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to engage with parents who used donor egg as their family building solution during a final group panel discussion at the end of the day.

The seminar is an all-day event from 9am to 5pm; conference fees range from $125 per individual to $250 per couple. Members of RESOLVE of the Bay State receive discounted rates. Financial assistance is available via the Lisa Fenn Gordenstein Access Scholarships.

Early registration is encouraged, but walk-in registrants are welcome from 9:00-9:30am. To register, you may mail or your registration form with your credit card information to RESOLVE of the Bay State, 395 Totten Pond Rd., Suite 403, Waltham, MA 02451; Fax: 781-890-2249.
