According to the WHO, around 17.5% of the adult population experience infertility. Our guests in this episode, Leslie Schreiber and Angela Paoli, work with couples who have decided to become parents using collaborative reproduction—in other words, with the help of others such as gestational carriers and gamete donors. Leslie is an attorney who helps people work through the legal issues, and Angela is a social worker who helps people with the emotional and mental health issues. We talk about what people need to consider and what resources exist to help them.
