AMANDA SEGAL IS THE INTERNATIONAL PATIENT LIAISON OF SHADY GROVE FERTILITY
How long have the Shady Grove Fertility Centers been established, and in which states are they based?
Shady Grove Fertility opened in October 1991. We have been serving the community for 22 years and currently have offices in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC.
What options are available to lesbian couples?
We welcome lesbian couples. Most often low-tech treatment with donor sperm is all that is needed.
How can you help men in a same-sex relationship in starting a family?
At Shady Grove Fertility, we offer donor egg and gestational surrogacy with a money back refund program should you not take home a baby.
Are there any special issues LGBT couples should take into consideration?
No, we welcome all patients looking to build a family.
Is there a typical LGBT person who uses your services and where do they come from?
We treat couples from all over the world.
Why not adoption?
The patient has more control over the process when using donor egg and gestational carrier.

On a personal note, what is the most satisfying part of your job?
I get the most joy from helping couples create families, and giving patients hope that they can achieve their dreams.
