Creating New Families in a New Society

Society’s definition of “family” has expanded in hand with advancements in medical science. For more than 20 years, NCRS doctors have helped all kinds of families grow and thrive, offering patients of every cultural, ethnic, and sexual orientation the highest care and compassion.

Whether you are a LGBT couple or going solo, NCRS embraces your dreams of parenting. We will help you all the way, from providing referrals for the finest agencies for donors, surrogates, gestational carriers, legal and psychological resources, and more.

Washington’s domestic partnership laws are progressive and Seattle is a supportive community for family building. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine ethics committee stated that it is our “ethical duty to treat single persons and gay and lesbian couples equally with married couples.” This is the foundation of our medical practice.

Testimonials

"After a year of struggling to conceive, we were devastated by the clinical, impersonal nature of our efforts to bring another child into our home. Then a friend recommended Dr. Gerard Letterie. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease and knew we would be under the care of a true expert in the field. We were fascinated by his command of the medical issues and encouraged by his sincere compassion for our mental, emotional and financial situation. Every person we talked to at NCRS helped us feel hope, respected, at ease, and brought us a wonderful baby!"

"We felt comfortable and safe in every aspect of our IVF experience at NCRS. The doctors, nurses and staff treated us with the utmost care and respect that any couple, gay or straight, should expect. We were particularly impressed by the care we received after the IVF process when we had some complications. The entire team was amazingly supportive, helpful, and comforting. We recommend NCRS to all of our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters."
