Surrogacy is a big decision, and you may have many questions. Here are some additional resources to help you understand our process, as well as answers to some frequently-asked questions.
We’ll be in touch soon!
Gestational surrogacy helps those who cannot have a child on their own become parents. The intended parents (IPs) use a gestational carrier (also referred to as a surrogate mother) to carry a baby to term.
Surrogacy is a process that requires medical and legal professionals to guide the intended parents, as well as a strong support process throughout the journey.
Through IVF (in vitro fertilization), embryos are created in a lab at a fertility clinic. Sometimes the intended parents use their own genetic material. Sometimes, an egg donor or sperm donor is required. At the fertility clinic, 1-2 embryos are implanted into a gestational carrier, who carries the baby(ies) to term.
Surrogates, surrogate mother or gestational carriers are all terms for a woman who carries a baby for someone else. Gestational carriers have no genetic relationship to the children they deliver.
Surrogacy in the United States is a safe way to grow your family.
The entire surrogacy process will take place in the U.S – creating your embryos at your fertility clinic, the surrogate pregnancy and the birth of your baby(ies).
Intended Parents in Greece will normally travel to the United States to create their embryos (and potentially meet their surrogate) and return for the birth of their babies. When international travel is once again easier, IPs can travel more frequently to the US during their journeys.
Once your baby is born, parents from Greece would stay in the U.S until a passport is issued. The amount of time you'll stay in the U.S with your baby depends on many variables, including what documentation you will need to provide to your home country authorities. Once the documentation is process, the U.S passport process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.
Any child born in the United States is a US citizen. Your baby will receive a U.S birth certificate and is entitled to a U.S passport for travel purposes (you can usually get one in 24-72 hours from application). Your surrogacy lawyers will do the legal work to establish your parentage (either via a Pre-Birth Order, post-birth order or possibly through a second parent adoption). You will be the sole legal and physical parents under American law. By establishing the rights of parentage in the United States, you can travel home safely and securely.
2. Surrogates are fully screened and receive the best medical care.
In the U.S, gestational carriers are screened psychologically and medically prior to an embryo transfer. Only women who are mentally, physically and emotionally able to handle a surrogacy are accepted into the program. All surrogates reside in the United States and have access to the most advanced medical care and the world's top hospitals. Circle's surrogates have the full support of family and friends during her journey, as well as professional support from a licensed social worker from sign on until postpartum.
3. Financial security.
In the U.S, when you embark on a surrogacy journey with most agencies, your money is safe. Circle is a well-established, secure company. The money you send to the agency is protected, held in a Bonded Escrow Account. These type of accounts are kept only at regulated and approved financial institutions.

A question many intended parents have is how do they find a surrogate mother in Greece to carry their baby. We recommend working with a surrogacy agency in the USA – like Circle Surrogacy & Egg Donation – who will manage all aspects of your surrogacy, including finding a surrogate mother match.
We will match you with a surrogate based on 3 criteria:
It's important that the surrogate mother with whom you match is a good fit for surrogacy. Surrogate mothers must meet strict surrogacy requirements in order to accepted in our surrogate program.
Circle Surrogacy & Egg Donation also fully screens their surrogate mothers prior to matching them with intended parents. Surrogates must complete a 3-step screening process in order to meet Circle's standards for matching. Fully screening surrogates before a match is made helps ensure a more successful journey, fewer match breaks and a strong start in your relationship.
Working with an agency makes your search to find a surrogate safe and easy.

With so many agencies to choose from, intended parents in Greece should research surrogacy agencies and determine how successful the surrogacy agency is and if it would be a good fit. Choosing your surrogacy agency is a personal choice, not every agency is suitable for everyone.
This list of criteria will help intended parents in their surrogacy research of agencies.
This Surrogacy Agency Checklist is a helpful tool to use to ask questions to surrogacy agencies to find the one that's best for you and your journey to becoming a parent.

Circle has helped us achieve our dream of expending our family. They have helped us give a baby brother to our beautiful daughter. We can never be grateful enough! We can never express the deep gratitude for what you have done for us. We can never thank you enough. No words could describe the enormous “swelling of love” both our hearts have experienced since our son's birth. - J & C
I just wanted to tell you I am the happiest man in the world right now! Christophe is doing great, David and I can't get enough of him, our parents are totally crazy and want to see him every day! Can't ask for more right now, just want to say thank you so much for making it possible, you contributed in making a whole family happy. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again! - Martin
You have shown such belief in us, and backed that up with the most extraordinary high level of involvement, advice, support, and good practical common sense. Yes, it's true that we've had a few ups and downs, but I'm sure that is what a journey, by its very nature, is all about. If it had been completely straightforward, then the huge sense of sublime joy and utter amazement at the outcome might not now be so sweet.– Liz and Chris
