What to do if I want to conceive with eggs or sperm from a family member?
=========================================================================

The donation of eggs or sperm by a family member is known as inter-family donation. It provides a genetic link between the recipient and the child (unlike conception with arms-length donated eggs or sperm), which can be an important driving factor in some cases.

To prevent consanguinity (incest), there are legal restrictions as to the mixing of eggs and sperm between close relatives. However, inter-family donation is permissible in some cases at UK fertility clinics.

Conception through inter-family donation creates a range of medical, legal, emotional, financial and practical issues which you will want to consider carefully. The close family relationship can add a further layer of complexity to the process that requires sensitive and careful management.

We can provide you with expert legal advice on inter-family egg and sperm donation law in the UK and its application internationally, donor information law and practice, and fertility treatment law in the UK with donated gametes.

Thanks to Emma and the team for the outstanding handling of my case. Throughout the months of my ongoing case I was kept informed and updated at all times never left wondering what was happening or where I stood. From meeting...

I had the pleasure of working with Tatiana Amdur during a very challenging time in my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, Tatiana displayed a remarkable blend of professionalism, empathy,...  and expertise. She took the time to understand the intricacies of my case and provided clear, actionable advice that was always in my best interest.

The Vardags team are exceptionally knowledgable and strategic but also, and most importantly, they are confident and reassuring in a time when one can feel most vulnerable.
