Begin with an inquiry and consultation. DOP’s nine-stage intended-parent journey covers selection, matching, agency and participant agreements, medical clearance, fund arrangements, treatment and continued coordination. DOP recommends creating embryos beforehand when seeking a surrogate.

Tell your coordinator where you live, your preferred language, your clinic and whether embryos are available. Discuss remote appointments, travel and communication before making arrangements.
