Surrogacy and Donor Psychological Evaluations in Utah

Virtual support for infertility, IVF, surrogacy, and donor conception across Utah.

We provide psychological evaluations for gestational carriers, egg and sperm donors, and intended parents across Utah. Utah permits gestational surrogacy under the Utah Parentage Act (Utah Code § 78B-15-801), with a court validation process that must be completed before embryo transfer. Psychological screening is a standard part of that process. Our evaluations are conducted virtually, follow ASRM guidelines, and are accepted by fertility clinics and surrogacy programs throughout the state. We also offer fertility counseling for individuals and couples navigating IVF, donor conception, and reproductive decision-making in Utah.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surrogacy Evaluations in Utah

Is a psychological evaluation required for surrogacy in Utah?

Yes. Psychological evaluations are a standard requirement in Utah surrogacy arrangements. Under the Utah Parentage Act (Utah Code § 78B-15-801), gestational surrogacy agreements must be validated by a court before embryo transfer, and completing medical and psychological screenings is part of that process. Most fertility clinics and surrogacy agencies in Utah require ASRM-aligned evaluations before clearing a match to move forward.

Do intended parents in Utah need a psychological consultation?

Many clinics and agencies require intended parent consultations as part of the surrogacy or donor conception process. These sessions cover emotional readiness, expectations for the carrier relationship, communication preferences, and decision-making around topics like embryo transfer and disclosure. Even when not formally required, a consultation can help intended parents feel more prepared for the legal and emotional dimensions of their journey.

Yes. Our practice is authorized to provide psychological evaluations in Utah through PsyPact.
