Question 1

What is the first step in the surrogacy process for intended parents?

Accepted Answer

The first step is scheduling a consultation with our experienced team. During this meeting, we'll discuss your goals, medical background, and expectations, and walk you through the entire gestational surrogacy process—from embryo creation and surrogate matching to legal planning and delivery.We’ll also answer any questions you may have about surrogate selection, surrogacy-specific insurance, newborn medical coverage, and program timelines—so you can begin your journey with clarity and confidence.

Question 2

How are intended parents matched with a surrogate?

Accepted Answer

We match intended parents with surrogates based on a variety of factors, including your preferences, expectations, and compatibility with the surrogate's lifestyle, location, health history, and communication style. Each match includes a video meeting to help build trust and ensure both parties feel aligned before moving forward.

Question 3

Do I need to have embryos ready before joining the program?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to have embryos ready before starting the process. If needed, we'll help connect you with a trusted IVF clinic to begin the embryo creation journey, which may involve egg donation, sperm collection, and optional genetic screening such as PGT-A.

Question 4

How does the legal process work in surrogacy?

Accepted Answer

Once the surrogate has passed both medical and psychological clearance, a reproductive attorney representing the intended parents will draft a gestational carrier agreement. This contract outlines all legal rights, responsibilities, compensation terms, and the intended parents' legal parentage. Later in the pregnancy, a pre-birth order is filed to formally establish the intended parents' legal rights prior to the baby's delivery.

Question 5

When is the embryo transfer scheduled?

Accepted Answer

Embryo transfer is scheduled after medical and legal clearance is complete. Timing is coordinated with the surrogate's menstrual cycle and the fertility clinic's protocol to ensure optimal conditions for implantation and pregnancy success.
