Interested in becoming a gay dad? Fertility specialist John Norian, MD, FACOG, discusses fatherhood through surrogacy in a special seminar for Members and friends of Out Professionals.

Encouraging you to think of his seminar as Surrogacy 101, Dr. Norian plans to discuss how gay couples and single gay men can achieve fatherhood through surrogacy. He is actively involved in all of the detailed clinical care separating him from other practices which helps to ensure the highest success rates with a warm patient-centered experience.

You can expect to take away a better understanding of key issues:
• What to expect throughout the surrogacy process
• An overview of the timeline and costs involved in surrogacy
• The IVF medical process and modern advances to fertility treatments
• The role and importance of a Patient Advocate
• How egg donation works
• Selecting an ideal surrogate
• The importance of genetic screening of embryos
• IVF treatment for HIV+ men
• Legal musts and must-nots

Expert advice will be available about the legal process, insurance and escrow, and an overview of costs and timelines. Toward the seminar's close, you will have an opportunity to ask questions or to schedule a private consultation. Seminar attendees receive a voucher valued at $400 towards an initial consultation.
