The role of mental health professionals (MHPs) in third-party reproduction has grown and evolved in service to patient care and the needs of medical infertility practices. The need for mental health evaluation and psychoeducation has increased as the psychosocial considerations for the stakeholders and families created through gamete donation and surrogacy are increasingly understood and considered. The conflicting definitions of these roles of evaluation and psychoeducation often leave MHPs in the role of de facto ethical gatekeepers in third-party reproduction. Both the medical team and the MHP need to clarify their role effectively, for themselves, as well as any intended parent.
心理健康专业人员（MHPs）在第三方生殖中的作用不断发展和演变，以服务于患者护理和医学不孕不育治疗的需求。随着通过配子捐赠和代孕产生的利益相关者和家庭的社会心理因素越来越被理解和考虑，心理健康评估和心理教育的需求也在增加。这些评估和心理教育角色的定义相互冲突，这常常使心理健康专业人员在第三方生殖中扮演事实上的道德把关人角色。医疗团队和心理健康专业人员都需要有效地明确自己以及任何准父母的角色。
