Frequently Asked Questions
Having lot of questions in mind is obvious. It shows how curious you are in particular things.
How long does it take to be matched with a surrogate or donor?
The average matching time is 8–10 weeks, depending on your criteria and the availability of qualified surrogates or donors.
What happens if the first match doesn’t work out?
If a surrogate or donor is not a fit after the interview or evaluation stage, we will continue the matching process until a suitable candidate is found. You’ll never be left without support.
Do I get to choose who becomes my gestational carrier?
Yes, the final decision will be based on your requirements for the candidate as well as their psychological and medical preparedness to complete the process.
Do you accept single Intended Parents as well as couples?
Yes, we support both couples and single Intended Parents seeking to build families through surrogacy or donor assistance.
How do I know the surrogate or donor is emotionally ready?
All surrogates and donors undergo a psychological evaluation (60–90 minutes), and in some cases, additional assessments to ensure they are emotionally and mentally prepared for the process.
What is surrogacy, and how is it different from traditional pregnancy?
Surrogacy is when a woman carries and delivers a baby for Intended Parents. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate has no genetic link to the child, as the embryo is created via IVF using the Intended Parents’ or donor gametes.
Who can become a surrogate?
You must meet certain health and lifestyle requirements, such as being 21–42 years old, having had at least one successful pregnancy, maintaining a healthy BMI, being a non-smoker, and having no history of serious pregnancy complications.
Will I be compensated as a surrogate?
Yes. Surrogates are typically compensated for their time, effort, and commitment. Compensation varies depending on experience and circumstances, but first-time surrogates can expect around US$15,000 (This figure is an estimate and not the actual value)
What support will I receive during the process?
We provide full support, including psychological evaluations, medical coordination, legal guidance, and 24/7 emergency availability during the pregnancy. You’ll never go through this alone.
How long is the surrogacy journey?
From the initial application and evaluations through to the pregnancy and birth, the surrogacy process usually spans 12–18 months. This timeline depends on IVF success, legal processes, and individual medical factors.
