Special Half-Day Program
During National Infertility Awareness Week, April 24 - May 1
RESOLVE's nationwide effort to educate the public and create greater awareness and understanding about infertility.

Beyond Infertility Treatment:
What's Next?

Pursuing infertility treatment has many decision points.  Perhaps you are in the middle of treament and want to "look ahead" at your options.  Perhaps you are thinking about ending treatment and want to explore the alternatives.

This program will present the many key decision making steps and the information that will guide you in considering all of your options.  Do you continue or end infertility treatment, or pursue other options such as adoption, egg donation, or child-free living?  Join us to learn from experts, and to meet people who have made these choices and will share their strategies for making decisions and moving forward. Please note that this program offers information on the emotional, ethical, and decision points of each choice and does not focus on the "how-tos" of each option.

Date: Saturday, April 24, 2010, 12:30 - 5:10 p.m.

Location: Scandinavian Living Center, Nordic Hall
206 Waltham Street,

Session 3, 2:20 - 3:40 p.m. - The Egg Donation Option
An overview of emotional and ethical issues to consider when choosing egg donation as a way to build your family. Issues to be addressed are: the considerations of using a known or anonymous donor, the child’s right to know about his/her origins, when and how to talk about their conception, who to tell and how to tell others about this family building choice. With Ellen Glazer, LICSW, therapist in private practice, and panel of parents through egg donation.

Break, 3:40 - 3:50 p.m.

Session 4, 3:50 - 5:10 p.m. - The Adoption Option
