Becoming a Parent Through Embryo Donation with guests EM•POWER with Moxi

The Egg Whisperer Show

I’m so excited to have Maya, Jen, and Gina of EM•POWER with Moxi back for part two of our discussion about embryo donation! Today, we’re talking all about becoming a parent through embryo donation. Maya became a mother through embryo donation, and she is sharing about the emotional shift that comes with choosing to become a parent to a baby that doesn’t share your DNA. She also talks about some things to consider when you’re deciding if embryo donation is the right choice for you to grow your family.

We also talk about genetic counseling, Empower with Moxi’s “Moxi Matching” service, and other ways that Empower with Moxi is supporting the community. The journey of becoming a parent through embryo donation is very special, and I’m so honored to have Maya, Jen, and Gina back to share more about the options, considerations, and beauty of embryo donation.
