Choosing a donor, navigating surrogacy, knowing how to talk to your child about their origins, these decisions change the trajectory of your family's life.
I'm Lisa Schuman, therapist, researcher, and author with 30 years of clinical experience in reproductive medicine. I've helped thousands of people make these decisions with clarity instead of fear.
On this channel you'll find evidence-based conversations with leading fertility doctors, donor conceived people, surrogates, intended parents, and researchers, plus solo episodes where I share the frameworks I use in my clinical practice.
New episodes every week.
If you're using donor conception, surrogacy, or fertility treatment to build your family, or parenting a child who was, you're in the right place.
