FROM powerless to parentHood and points beyond
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Infertility changes everything — your plans, your relationships, even your sense of self. For single people or same-sex couples, the challenge may not be infertility, but rather identifying the very best path to parenthood. In all of these situations, the journey can feel overwhelming, isolating, and uncertain. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.
From Powerless to Parenthood and Points Beyond is a compassionate, comprehensive, actionable course designed to help you explore the full spectrum of family-building pathways and find the one that’s right for you - whether your challenge is infertility, or discovering your best way forward.
COURSE CONTENT
In From Powerless to Parenthood and Points Beyond, Jodi shares her personal journey of marrying at 40, facing infertility, and ultimately building a family through three different paths: genetic/step, adoption, and donor-assisted reproduction. She shares how she and her husband, Jay, came to their decisions and choices, and their experience of bonding with, loving and raising children both genetic and non-genetic, birthed, and adopted. In addition, you’ll gain access to professionals in medicine, nutrition, psychology, genetics, adoption, donor-assisted conception, surrogacy, and even hear from a woman who after 7 years of failed treatment, chose - along with her husband - to create a fulfilling life without children. You'll also meet people who were adopted or have adopted, served as a donor or were donor-conceived, or served as a sorrogate or were born through surrogacy, all of whom have inspiring and uplifting stories to share. Together, these voices provide clear information, emotional support, and a thorough education about all family-building pathways.
