Our Parenthood Programs
We understand that every family is different – and that every family is grown differently, too. That's why we offer programs to help as many individuals and couples as possible. If you’re not sure which program you need, you can follow the chart below.
Gestational Surrogacy Only
Designed for intended parents who can provide the needed biology, but require the assistance of a gestational surrogate. This means that you will either use your own eggs and sperm to create embryos – or have already created your embryos – but you are not able to carry a baby to term, due to infertility or a prior medical diagnosis such as cancer; or perhaps you're a same-sex couple with embryos already created and you simply need our help in finding a gestational surrogate.
Our Surrogacy Only program is designed to mentor and guide you through the entire surrogacy journey. We will work with your IVF clinic, match you with the perfect gestational surrogate, and manage all aspects of your journey from start to finish.
Gestational Surrogacy Plus Egg Donation
Intended parents who require egg donation for gestational surrogacy are not able to provide the necessary biology to create embryos, and they also need a gestational surrogate to carry the baby to term.
For surrogacy plus egg donation, intended parents will match with an egg donor to provide her eggs (in some cases, intended parents may need a sperm donor as well). Intended parents can select either frozen eggs or do a fresh egg donation cycle; once the eggs are retrieved or thawed, embryos will be created in a lab at the parents' IVF clinic. The best embryos will be frozen, and one or two embryos can be transferred into a gestational surrogate’s uterus.
Surrogacy With Your Own Surrogate (BYOS)
In some instances, you may have a family member or friend – or have found a match through surrogacy communities – who is willing to be your gestational surrogate.
In the case that you have found a surrogate outside of an agency, you have two paths available: first you may choose to pursue surrogacy without the support of an agency; second, even if you have found a surrogate on your own, you may still desire to have an agency manage all of the logistics of your surrogacy journey. There are a few different levels of support available with this program, speak with us to learn more about options and costs.
Dual Journey
Intended parents can choose Surrogacy Only or Surrogacy with Egg Donation for a Dual Journey. In this type of journey, intended parents will have two gestational surrogates carrying babies in staggered journeys. Intended parents wishing to have more than one child through surrogacy may choose this option which can be more medically advisable than a gestational surrogate carrying twins. Parents can choose Gestational Surrogacy Only if they are creating/have their own embryos or Gestational Surrogacy plus Egg Donation if they need donor eggs to create their family.
Our programs are created with the intention of helping as many families as possible. Our experienced Parent Intake Team can assist you in determining the best path forward to parenthood for you. You can fill out our parent form to connect with our team.
