Become a Surrogate

1. Application

   Tell us about yourself using the surrogate inquiry form. A coordinator reviews your answers and discusses next steps.

2. Phone or On-Screen Interview

   We talk through your application, motivation and questions to understand whether the program is a suitable next step.

3. Records Review and Initial Screening

   Medical records and relevant documents are reviewed. Initial screening and a home visit may be arranged as part of your assessment.

4. In-Person Interview

   Meet the team, discuss your questions and complete the background-check arrangements required for your application.

5. Meeting Intended Parents

   After initial approval, we arrange an introduction to intended parents so both parties can discuss expectations and build rapport.

6. Matching

   When you and the intended parents agree to proceed, the coordinator begins the matching paperwork and processing.

7. Further Screening and Contracts

   Additional medical screening and psychological evaluation assess your readiness. Independent attorneys review the agreements; discuss insurance arrangements with the coordinator.

8. Cycle Preparation and Embryo Transfer

   After the required medical and legal clearance, your clinic manages medication, monitoring and preparation for embryo transfer.

9. Pregnancy Testing

   Your clinic schedules laboratory testing after transfer. The published journey describes testing around ten days later; follow your clinic’s actual schedule.

10. Early Pregnancy Ultrasounds

    The fertility team monitors early pregnancy with ultrasounds and appointments, including the period around eight to ten weeks, as clinically advised.

11. Obstetric Care through Delivery

    Your medical team arranges the transition to obstetric care, described in the published journey around ten weeks. The obstetrician continues care through delivery while DOP coordinates updates.

Screening and Support

Gestational surrogacy uses an already-created embryo, unlike traditional surrogacy using the surrogate’s own egg. Medication and pregnancy have risks; your clinic reviews your history and monitors your care. The embryo transfer is a brief, non-surgical procedure.
