Speaking at the seminar, John Weltman explained that the United States is the preferable country for surrogacy among Swedish and other international parents due to legal, societal and medical conditions. Almost every state permits compensated surrogacy and no appeals court in any state has ever given custody to a gestational carrier. According to Weltman, having children in the States can be relatively easy for international couples. It is only necessary to come to the United States three to four times, including the 20-week ultrasound and birth. "Departures from the United States are easy as well," says Weltman. "Most international couples return to their countries within 2 weeks of the birth of their children, with their names on the birth certificate and US Passports, if they choose to apply for them." Circle's success with international clients may be attributed to the special attention that is given to addressing every country's needs and legal circumstances. Circle has studied the laws in Sweden and has a relationship with organizations and political leaders who advocate for legalizing surrogacy there, including MP Martin Andreasson who spoke at the seminar. John also reported that Circle Surrogacy has partnered with local organizations and lawyers to provide a complete solution for Swedish
clients before and after the birth." Circle's staff regularly meets with prospective clients for intake consultations in their own countries and cities, although many still conduct them over the phone or video conferencing. Circle's staff leads all parents through the logistical, legal and administrative processes involved from day one until they
gain full custody of their newborns and bring them home."
