In this educational and transparent conversation, Chris Gao, Chief Experience Officer of Family Source Consultants, sits down with Dr. Fabiola Balmir of CCRM Fertility Naperville to discuss the medical side of surrogacy and egg donation.

Together, they walk through the questions many intended parents and potential surrogates have but may hesitate to ask. What does the medical screening process involve? How are surrogates and egg donors evaluated? What should intended parents expect during embryo creation and transfer? And how do fertility clinics and agencies work together to create a safe, coordinated experience?

Dr. Balmir shares insight into how fertility specialists approach safety, medical readiness, and patient care, while Chris highlights how agencies provide emotional support, matching guidance, and continuity throughout the journey.

This episode is designed for:
• Intended parents exploring surrogacy or egg donation
• Women considering becoming surrogates or egg donors
• Families who want clarity on how medical and agency teams collaborate

If you are navigating family building and want a clear, ethical, and compassionate overview of what to expect, this conversation provides both medical expertise and practical guidance.
