Can both partners have a genetic connection to our children?

Yes, this is possible through options like sibling journeys, where each partner's sperm fertilizes a separate egg to create genetically-linked siblings. A planning conversation can map this out in detail.

Will both of us be recognized as legal parents?

Tailored legal guidance covers parental rights, pre-birth orders, and contracts specific to your state's laws, so both parents' rights are clearly established.

Can we request a surrogate who is specifically affirming of LGBTQIA+ families?

Yes. Many surrogates in our network specifically request to work with LGBTQIA+ families, and matching takes that alignment into account.

Does being HIV-positive affect our ability to pursue surrogacy?

No. Through the SPAR program, HIV-positive intended fathers can safely create embryos using their own sperm, with no risk of transmission to the surrogate or child.

How is adoption different from surrogacy for LGBTQ+ parents?

Adoption can be slower, more restrictive, or in some cases closed to LGBTQ+ individuals and couples depending on jurisdiction. Surrogacy offers a clearer legal framework and, for many, a biological connection to their child.

“特别辅助生殖计划”（SPAR）由位于马萨诸塞州波士顿附近的 Bedford 研究基金会提供，这是一个专业机构，能够协助 HIV 阳性的意向父母准备用于 IVF 程序的安全精液样本。SPAR 项目的目标是帮助伴侣在不将病毒从父亲传播给母亲或孩子的情况下实现怀孕。该项目的核心理念是：使用在检测中未发现病毒的精液样本中的精子，可以降低，甚至可能完全消除传播感染的风险。这个国际项目旨在保护配偶、代孕者以及婴儿免受病毒感染。

如需了解更多有关该专项计划的信息，并咨询其合作的二十多家不孕不育治疗中心，请访问：www.bedfordspar.org（贝德福特SPAR官方网站）。
