Empowering An Alternate Path to Parenthood: with Jen, Gina, and Maya, Founders of Empower with Moxi, a Donor Embryo Matching, Education, and Support Platform

In this episode that is both touching and laugh out loud funny, host Elana Frank chats with Jen, Maya, and Gina, who each have an embryo donation story (either as donors or recipients) and have created a platform to help simplify and streamline the often confusing and complex family building option that many still don't even know about! Empower does education, emotional support, and matching for people looking to donate their embryos or those looking to receive donor embryos. Takeaways Embryo donation organizations provide emotional and mental health support to both donors and recipients. Children born through embryo donation may have relationships with their genetic siblings, and the language used to describe these relationships can vary. Normalizing embryo donation as a family building option is crucial to reducing stigma and increasing awareness. Educating the world about unique family building options, including embryo donation, is necessary to support children and families.
