Forward Fertility is Wisconsin's expert for anything related to gestational carriers (aka surrogates) and egg donation. Forward Fertility connects families in need with well-qualified women who want to provide these helping hands. Several Shawano area women have served as gestational carriers for families and the Shawano community has been a supportive and welcoming place for them.

Gestational carriers are women who are NOT genetically related to the baby they carry, but they help a family who physically cannot carry the baby due to medical conditions or physical limitations. Compensation for gestational carriers begins at $30,000, but the joy of making someone a mom or a dad is an indescribable type of compensation.

Founder Christie Olsen is a nurse practitioner with over 16 years of experience in reproductive health care as well as six years running an egg and embryo donation program at one of the largest IVF clinics in Wisconsin. Since its founding in 2013, over 60 babies have been born with the help of Forward Fertility's egg donors and carriers.

With the reproductive health care expertise of Forward Fertility, egg donors, surrogates, and parents-to-be have a trusted guide in the process. Questions are welcome by phone or email.
