Intended parents may also be required by their reproductive specialist to have an educational consultation with a psychologist to address specific topics, such as, how and when to disclose third party reproduction, making the donor/surrogate selection, future contact with donors or surrogates, deciding what to do with remaining embryos and processing the range of emotions that come up for individuals and couples during their journey to parenthood.
