While also costly, surrogacy is another option for parents struggling with fertility. A woman is selected to carry and deliver a baby for a couple hoping to have a child of their own or closely related genetic makeup.

Lastly, consider adoption. Thousands of children in the U.S. and likely millions worldwide need access to a better quality of life to thrive. If you’re hoping to become a parent but are struggling with fertility adoption may be a great choice as it’s an opportunity to make the world and your life a little brighter.
