Sharon LaMothe has been in the Infertility Industry since 1998 when she signed her first Gestational Surrogacy contract. She subsequently gave birth to twin girls and in 2000 was invited to join a Florida legal firm recruiting and managing surrogacy arrangements. After leaving the legal arena in 2003, Sharon then co-owned and operated Surrogacy Consultants of Florida, LLC, the first successful independent surrogacy agency in Florida. In January 2005 Sharon once again became a Gestational Carrier and gave birth to girl/boy twins for a same sex New York couple using Donor Eggs. Although no longer matching Intended Parents with Gestational Carriers or Traditional Surrogates, Sharon owns the informational and educational website Infertility Answers http://infertilityanswers.org and participates on many advisory boards including Parents Via Egg Donation, OBGYN.net, The Pregnancy Corner, as well as being a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.

Sharon is also the Owner of LaMothe Services, LLC http://lamotheservices.com , an Assisted Reproductive Technology business solutions service.

Sharon currently guides couples and singles who need more information regarding their Third Party Family Options. Sharon's educational background includes a Social Service major which encompassed classes in Crisis Identification and Intervention, Interviewing and Counseling, Communication in Groups and Organizations. Her passion for educating those interested in learning about Surrogacy is reflected in her blogs and writing for Guess Who? for the children of surrogate mothers which has been a highlight in her career. Sharon is married, a mother of two and currently resides in Seattle, WA.

I Am Registered on the International Bone Marrow Donor List, Are YOU?

I am registered on the International Bone Marrow Donor List. I'm sure you are shocked. I mean...someone who's been a Gestational Carrier wouldn't also want to give her bone marrow, would she? Honestly, I was on the bone marrow donor list looonnnnggggg before I was ever a surrogate or even entertained the thought of surrogacy.

Surrogacy and Postpartum Depression

The Third Party- Surrogacy and Postpartum Depression Intended Parents have several conce s before, during and after they have a baby through surrogacy. Some, but not all, have a great relationship with their surrogate and worry how she is going to react once the baby is born. Is she going to feel attached to the baby? Is she going to want to bond with the baby? Is she going to feel used and lonely once she is no longer pregnant? These are very valid conce s for the Intended Parents.

Breast milk....can I nurse my baby?

All Intended Parents dream of the best for their baby to be which is why they care so much about what their surrogate does during the pregnancy. What she eats, where she works, where she travels, what she's exposed to and how she is handling the pregnancy. It's natural to want to continue the trend and want the best nutrition for their baby. Can the Intended Mother can provide her own breast milk? Lets talk about inducing lactation: Lactation involves two hormones. Prolactin is considered the milk-making hormone while oxytocin is the hormone responsible for releasing breast milk.

Why Do Surrogates Need an Atto ey?

Some are seeing this topic and saying...this is a no brainer...but there are others who have waived their rights to an atto ey and regretted it. (or not...let me hear from you if that is the case!) I hate to admit it but I waived the right to an atto ey for my second surrogacy. Yep, I thought that I knew it all...inside and out...after all I had been a surrogate before. I owned a Surrogacy Agency. I helped others discuss contract issues. Cocky. Now my situation wasn't that sticky. It could have been a lot worse!
