Third-Party Reproduction

If you need donated eggs, sperm, embryos or a gestational carrier to start your family, we can help. We follow strict industry standards when coordinating third-party reproduction services for donors and recipients.

Why Choose Sutter?

Advances in third-party reproduction have made parenthood possible for many people who otherwise wouldn’t have the option. We’re proud to support LGBTQIA+ families and others who want to expand their families. Whether you’re the person longing to get pregnant or an individual wanting to make that dream possible for another person, our state-of-the-art fertility clinic and embryology lab in Palo Alto can help with both counseling and coordination.

We offer our own egg donor registry and a comprehensive egg donor program where all egg donors are thoroughly screened. In all cases, we follow the highest standards of privacy and safety, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine's guidelines.

We can also help connect you to a local, reputable surrogacy agency if you wish to find a gestational carrier. Once the parent-surrogate relationship is established, we’ll work with you to facilitate any fertility services you need.
