The Surrogacy Process

The surrogacy process can seem intricate, but rest assured, our experienced team will be there to support you at every stage.

Here is a glimpse into the general steps involved in the surrogacy journey:

  • Your journey begins by completing our comprehensive online application. Our team will review your application and conduct an initial pre-screening to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for becoming a surrogate.

  • If your pre-screening is successful, we will guide you through a more extensive screening process. This includes medical evaluations, psychological assessments, background checks, and an in-depth review of your medical history. We conduct these screenings to ensure your physical and emotional well-being and to match you with intended parents who align with your preferences and values.

  • Once you have completed the screening, we will work closely with you to find the perfect match with the intended parents. We factor in location, personal preferences, and any specific requirements outlined by the intended parents.

  • Once a match is made, legal contracts will be drafted and reviewed by experienced attorneys specializing in reproductive law. These contracts outline rights, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved. Simultaneously, you will begin the medical procedures necessary for the embryo transfer, which may involve hormone treatments and regular check-ups.

  • Upon successful embryo transfer and confirmation of pregnancy, you will continue to receive comprehensive medical care throughout the pregnancy from qualified healthcare professionals. Our agency is dedicated to ensuring your well-being and providing emotional support during this joyous and transformative time.

  • As the due date approaches, our team will work closely with you, the intended parents, and the healthcare professionals to ensure a smooth and supported birth experience. After the birth, we continue to provide assistance and guidance, including any necessary legal processes to establish the intended parents' parental rights.

Testimonials

  • "My experience with Modern Family has been such a delight. I chose this agency specifically because everyone who works there has been a surrogate themselves. They aren't asking you to do anything they haven't personally done. The entire team is very sweet and happy everytime I text, call, or see them in person. I had such a good experience, I decided to do it all again. I can't recommend them enough."
