Workbook
What Does Family Look Like to You
The Pre-Consultation Workbook for Anyone Considering Fertility Treatment, Adoption, or Surrogacy
This workbook names what family means to you — so a doctor or agency can build it with you.
For the person or couple about to begin fertility treatment, adoption paperwork, or surrogacy planning who has never been asked what family actually means to them — not the biological outcome, but the life they are building and why.
The Name It First Experience
Doctors build outcomes — you build the life the baby comes into, and this workbook names it first. What Does Family Look Like to You walks you through what family actually means to you: not the biological or legal outcome, but the life you are building, the values it will carry, the relationships that will define it, and why this matters enough to go through what comes next. It is for the person or couple about to begin fertility treatment, adoption paperwork, or surrogacy planning who has never been asked what family means to them — and who wants every decision that follows to be grounded in a clear answer. You finish with a documented family formation vision — what you are building, why, and the values that ground every medical and legal decision that follows.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does family mean to you — the specific life you are trying to build, not the general definition?
- What do you most want to give the people who will be inside this family?
- What has been hardest about the process so far — and what would naming it clearly actually change?
