Helping to Build Families with
Ovum Donation and Surrogacy

At the Family Fertility Center (FFC) we provide access to Egg Donation and Surrogacy with an old fashioned approach to building families. We offer an abundance of nurturing, sensitivity and love. Whatever assisted reproductive method you choose, FFC is available to help you through each step of the process, acting as counselors, facilitators—and family.

Our Director, M'lyn Butterfield, has over 30 years of experience in the medical field specializing in surrogacy, ovum donation, infertility, psychotherapy, nursing and education. We offer a level of professionalism that ensures confidentiality, dignity, and understanding. We also offer the inside knowledge that only comes from having brought a baby into the world through assisted reproductive technology (Director M'lyn Butterfield gave birth to a son with the assistance of an egg donor). Additionally, our recruiting staff have all experienced infertility or been egg donors or surrogate mothers.

Fertility Options Available Through the Family Fertility Center

Ovum Donation

Egg donation is best suited for women who are able to carry a pregnancy to full term yet who are unable to provide the egg necessary for conception. An egg is retrieved from the ovary of a carefully screened egg donor. It is then fertilized in a laboratory by sperm from either the partner or a donor. After three to five days it is transferred into the womb of the mother.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is one of two fertility options available through the Family Fertility Center. With this method, a surrogate mother carries the baby to term and gives the baby over to the parents at birth. The egg may be provided by the intended mother, or by an ovum donor. The eggs are then fertilized in a laboratory by the intended father's sperm or by a sperm donor.
