A Novel Approach to New Family-Forms, Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Transnationalism

Courtney deGorterParticipate in Research

This is a multi-sited project that looks at families in Canada, Spain, Denmark, and Israel who have used ARTs (like donor sperm or eggs, embryos, or surrogacy).

What’s involved:

  • A relaxed, informal interview (60-90 minutes) and creative activities for kids (e.g. drawings, life story photobook).
  • A chance to reflect on your family’s or professional journey.
  • Follow-up interview for adult participants (optional)

Who can participate:

  • Parent or guardian in a family that used fertility treatments using donor gametes.
  • Have a child who, if aged 7+, has been told about their conception and is willing to speak with us, after your consent (but families/parents with younger children are welcome).
  • Healthcare provider who supports people with fertility care in Alberta, British Colombia, or Ontario.
  • Work or volunteer with an organization that supports people using fertility treatments.
  • Live or have used ARTs in Alberta, British Columbia, or Ontario.
