LGBTQ+ Family Building

Reciprocal IVF, donor sperm or eggs, and surrogacy — the path that fits your family, with providers who know the specifics.

LGBTQ+ Family Building

For LGBTQ+ individuals and couples building their families, in a welcoming, no-assumptions practice.

This may be right if…

  • You’re a single parent by choice
  • You’re transgender or non-binary
  • You want to share a biological role (reciprocal IVF)
  • You’d like a provider who knows your needs

Common questions

How much does treatment cost, and will insurance cover it?
Costs vary by treatment — an IUI cycle is illustratively around $1,000–$1,500, while an IVF base cycle is around $13,000–$16,000 plus medications. Washington and many states mandate some coverage, and our financial counselor verifies your specific benefits for free before you commit. You always get a written estimate first, and we’ll review financing, multi-cycle, and grant options with you.
Do you care for LGBTQ+ patients and single parents?
Absolutely, and with providers trained in exactly these journeys. We offer reciprocal IVF (where one partner provides the egg and the other carries), IUI or IVF with donor sperm or eggs, and surrogacy. Single parents by choice are warmly welcome — you never need to justify how you build your family.
