In our Mental Health articles, we underscore the critical role of mental health professionals in the surrogacy and egg donation journey.  Beyond offering therapeutic support and guidance to intended parents and surrogates, counselors are instrumental in navigating the emotional complexities of this process.   The mental health professionals play a crucial role in screening egg donors and surrogates, ensuring their emotional well-being and suitability for the journey ahead.  Counselors work to mitigate emotional distress and foster a positive perspective throughout the journey, contributing to the maintenance of healthy relationships among all parties involved.  Moreover, they provide invaluable guidance on how and when to discuss the child’s unique beginnings, offering support and insight every step of the way.
