Hereditary possibilities

If you feel you’re personally and financially ready for this adventure, there are some serious realities to consider as well. It’s important to look into the hereditary possibilities from both sides of the family.

If you have any concerns, visit your healthcare provider or a reproductive health facility close to you.
