The American
Surrogacy Center is dedicated to fostering surrogacy as
a family building option for those who suffer from infertility.
With the advent of marriage later in life, increasing numbers
of couples will demand new methods to resolve childlessness.
Technological and medical advances, coupled with new legal
approaches, will provide these options.
The principals of the American Surrogacy Center have
experience with infertility in their personal and professional
lives, and have overcome misperception and customary
constraints in building their own families and assisting
others in building theirs.
The American Surrogacy Center promotes the exchange
of information on medical and pharmaceutical treatments,
surrogacy alternatives, current legal status, counseling,
medical and legal practitioners, agencies and similar
societies, as well as providing a forum for those requesting
and providing information.
This website was born in March of 1996 for the primary
purpose of disseminating information on the third-party
reproductive options of surrogacy and egg donation via
the internet and world wide web.
Our mission is to offer information, professional resources,
hope and the opportunity to connect with others who are
pursing these family-building options. In February of
1997, TASC launched several online support and email
discussion groups related to the topic interest.
We are trying very hard to offer you the best information
resource available for surrogacy, egg donation, embryo
adoption and shared IVF cycles. Please feel free to contact
me if you have a suggestion or input regarding our unique
and rapidly growing website. |
