BECOMING A GESTATIONAL CARRIER
We work exclusively with gestational surrogates, meaning you would carry an embryo with no genetic connection to you. Learn more about the qualifications we look for, factors that may affect eligibility, and how our team supports you throughout screening, matching, medical coordination, legal, and every stage of your journey.
WHAT WE TAKE CARE OF
From your initial questionnaire through delivery and beyond, our dedicated team coordinates every detail—so you can focus on your journey to parenthood.
We introduce you to intended parents whose hopes, values, and expectations align with yours. We never rush the matching process—you and the intended parents will have time to decide whether the connection feels right.
We arrange all medical and psychological screenings required by the clinic and support you throughout every appointment.
We coordinate the review of your health insurance, arrange surrogacy-specific coverage when needed, and work with the intended parents to secure appropriate newborn coverage. We also manage approved surrogacy-related expenses so you are not left out of pocket.
You and the intended parents are represented by independent attorneys who draft and review the surrogacy agreement, explain each party’s rights and responsibilities, and complete the necessary steps to establish legal parentage.
