Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the surrogacy process take?

It’s different for every situation. Intended parents should count on about a year and a half from the time they sign on until they have a child. Of course, the journey may be shorter or longer, depending on legalities and the progress of the actual process.

What should I prepare myself for, as an intended parent?

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees with surrogacy. This whole process can be an emotional roller-coaster — there are always uncertainties dealing with human bodies. It can take a few attempts before your surrogate gets pregnant even with a perfect embryo, perfect doctor and perfect surrogate. You also face all the same risks that any pregnant woman or unborn baby faces in utero during a pregnancy.

How much does it cost to have a child via surrogacy?

There are many factors that affect the cost — your IVF clinic, the potential Egg Donor and twin pregnancies, just to name a few. We’ve worked to streamline the process to limit unnecessary fees so that your dream of having the family that you desire is affordable. When you get in touch with us, we’ll go over the numbers and give you a cost estimate based on your situation and needs.

Can I enter the process regardless of my relationship status?

Of course! There are many different reasons that our clients decide to use surrogacy to have a child, and being single or in a same-sex relationship are not barriers to using our agency. All scenarios are legal for surrogacy in California, unlike some other countries.

How am I protected legally?

For one, both you and the surrogate will need legal representation from two separate attorneys. We have a great legal team spanning the top firms in California that specialize in surrogacy. These firms have experience in working with both domestic and international intended parents and in many cases, offer translation services. There will be a surrogacy contract created by your legal representation that protects both you and the surrogate under United States and California law. Your contract can vary depending on your needs and those of the surrogate’s. Additionally, all fees intended for the surrogate are held by a neutral escrow company as per California law, and are paid in stages to the providers and the surrogate throughout the duration of the contract and pregnancy.

I don’t live in the United States, can I still use your agency?

Of course! We specialize in helping intended parents from all over the world. Our process allows for minimal travel back and forth. If you’d like to be close during the surrogate’s pregnancy, we suggest you apply for a U.S. Visa to allow that. If you cannot be close during the process, don’t worry! Many of our surrogate mothers communicate regularly with their Intended Parent(s) on programs like WeChat or WhatsApp.

How long should I expect to be in the United States after delivery?

We generally advise international intended parents to plan on returning home after 3–4 weeks to allow ample time for court proceedings, the issuance of any birth certificates and the application for any visas and/or passports. We will guide you through this process. Depending on legal paperwork, you may be able to go home sooner.

I don’t speak English, will that prevent me from communicating with your agency or surrogates?

No, because our clients are from around the globe, we have staff that can communicate in Spanish, Chinese and Japanese!
