We understand that ongoing emotional support is crucial for both gestational carriers, donors, and intended parents, and we are committed to providing this care beyond the initial evaluation.

In addition to individual follow-up sessions, PECNA also offers optional post-evaluation support packages. These packages are designed to provide ongoing emotional care and guidance throughout the surrogacy or egg donation process. They include additional counseling sessions, check-ins at key milestones, and resources to help manage any emotional challenges that may arise.

By offering these customizable packages, agencies can ensure that their clients receive consistent, high-quality psychological support from PECNA, helping to promote a smoother and more emotionally secure journey for all parties involved.
