IWantToBeAParent.com is an educational orientation resource from Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute (EDSI). It is intended to help you understand the areas of the family-building process — not to advise you on your own situation.
Educational information only
Everything on this website, including the personalized results produced by the Journey Finder, is general educational information. It is not individualized legal, medical or financial advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.
EDSI’s role
Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute coordinates the family-building process. EDSI helps intended parents understand the steps involved and works alongside the professionals each journey requires. EDSI does not practice law, does not provide medical care and does not provide financial or tax advice.
Legal matters are handled by licensed attorneys, medical decisions and treatment are handled by licensed physicians and fertility clinics, and financial matters are handled by qualified financial, escrow and tax professionals.
No outcomes are promised
Family-building paths vary widely. Nothing on this website is a prediction, guarantee or assurance of any particular outcome, timeline, cost or eligibility. Your own path depends on facts this website does not collect and cannot assess.
Laws differ by location
Requirements for surrogacy, egg donation and parentage differ significantly between countries, and between states within the United States. Information here is general and may not reflect the law that applies to you. Confirm your situation with an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
No professional relationship
Using this website, viewing a result, or contacting EDSI through the consultation or text actions does not by itself create a client, attorney, medical or fiduciary relationship.
External links
This website links to destinations EDSI does not control. Those links are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement of everything they contain.
Medical emergencies
This website is not for medical emergencies. If you have a medical concern, contact your physician or local emergency services.
Pending owner / legal review: Owner and legal counsel should confirm the description of EDSI’s coordinating role, the professional-relationship language, and whether any additional state-specific disclosure is required before launch.
