Support Groups

The Third-Party Parenting Network (TPPN) is a network of parents who have built (or are working on building) their families through ovum donation, embryo donation, sperm donation, and/or surrogacy. TPPN provides the opportunity for parents to connect, share their stories, receive support, and learn from each other about the issues that are unique to the experience of Donor Assisted Reproduction such as disclosure, siblings and genetic origins. It has been our experience that meeting regularly over time with the same group of people builds a level of trust which enables a deeper exploration of what it means to be a parent dealing with these issues
