FAQS
What is an Egg Donation and Surrogacy agency?
An Egg Donation and Surrogacy agency is commonly known as a one-stop center for those entering the third party reproduction process. This is because this kind of agency typically provides all or most of the services that you need as you complete your Egg Donation/Surrogacy experience， including coordination between all the other Surrogacy professionals involved in the process — like clinics and Surrogacy attorneys…
Which IVF clinics do you work with?
We work with some of the top-rated fertility clinics and doctors across the United States and we have built great relationships with them. These relationships allow you to take advantage of the special pricing packages we have negotiated. However, the decision of which fertility clinic to use is entirely the decision of the Intended Parents. We will work with any fertility clinic that the Intended Parents choose, as long as they will be able to coordinate with our agency…
I do not live in the United States. How many times to I have to travel to the United States during my Surrogacy journey?
If you live abroad, you may be required to come to the United States 2-3 times. If you are using your own sperm and/or eggs, all medical testing must be conducted in the U.S. to meet U.S. Food & Drug Administration guidelines and clinic requirements. In addition, you will be required to come to the United States for the egg retrieval process and/or to leave your sperm sample.

If you already have an IVF clinic or embryos created, that's great! If you don't, we can always help you find an ideal IVF Clinic. If you require an egg donor, matching with a donor will be one of the first steps. If you live abroad, we could work with you seamlessly during this beginning phase.
Surrogacy
Matching With Your Surrogate
This is one of the most exciting phases of your journey. You will be finding the amazing woman who will help you grow your family. We pre-screen every prospective surrogate to ensure they are high quality before we send you, their profiles. This pre-screening consists of a criminal background check, an in-depth interview process, and review of medical records.
Trust Account
You will establish a trust account after the match is officially made. The trust account disburses payments and expenses associated with the surrogacy arrangements. Your first deposit covers official screening costs.
Psychological Evaluation and Medical Screening
A psychological evaluation for your surrogate will be conducted. This is to help ensure that your surrogate understands the emotional and physical commitment and is prepared to proceed. She will travel to your IVF clinic for a comprehensive medical screening to get medically cleared. The screening includes a blood test, STD screening, ultrasound, drug/nicotine use, etc.
Surrogacy Contract
After we receive the medical clearance from your IVF clinic, we will coordinate your counsel with a third-party reproductive attorney to start the work on drafting the Surrogacy Contract. This contract is between the Intended Parent(s), surrogate and their partner (if applicable). It will cover surrogate's compensation and expenses, life insurance, medical insurance, parental rights, location of delivery, medical decisions during the pregnancy, etc. Then the first draft of the contract will be forwarded to your surrogate’s attorney for review.
After the contract is finalized and signed by all parties, the trust account will need to be funded with a predetermined amount. Legal clearance will also be sent to your IVF clinic.

Cycle Plan, Medications, and Embryo Transfer
Your IVF clinic will provide an official embryo transfer plan including medication information, appointments and the embryo transfer date. Your surrogate will have weekly blood work and ultrasound monitoring for about four weeks to make sure her body is responding well to the medications.
If your surrogate's trip to the IVF clinic involves any long distance traveling for the embryo transfer, we will manage all medical and travel arrangements during the entirety of the process.

Pregnancy and Parental Rights Establishment
Your surrogate will continue medications according to the doctor's instructions. She will continue her monitoring appointment to measure hormone and medication levels. After pregnancy is confirmed by HCG, your surrogate will have an ultrasound to confirm heartbeat at around 6 weeks. Around 9 weeks, your surrogate will be released to her own OBGYN.
When the surrogate is between around 16-18 weeks pregnant, your attorney will initiate the documents required for the pre-birth order/ judgment process. These documents are presented to the courts to establish your parental rights of the child/children. You will receive a pre-birth order/ judgement order so that your name goes on the birth certificate.

Prior to the delivery, we will help you work with your surrogate on the birth plan. This is an important document for the delivery hospital so that everyone is aware of your wishes during the birth. You will want to arrive in the surrogate’s home state at least two weeks before the estimated delivery date.
Then comes the BIG day we've all been waiting for! The trust account must remain open for 12 months post-birth to collect and pay all medical bills associated with the pregnancy. All unused funds are returned to you at the time of closure.
