What Does the Surrogacy Process Look Like?
What Does the Surrogacy Process Look Like?
SurrogatesGuest UserThe surrogacy process for intended parents depends on what variables are the most important to each individual. One of the first steps, before contacting an agency (or any other surrogacy professional), is to have a physical exam. You would be surprised at how many people have not had a simple check-up within the last 2 years. If you are planning on using your own genetics then it is also essential to get a sperm analyst or check your ovarian reserve. With this information, you can decide if you need any assistance from a sperm or egg donor or research embryo donation. Tell your doctor that you are thinking of working with a surrogate and he or she can order any tests that would be pertinent to the process.  The next steps are detailed on our BFF Website: Our Process | From Consult to Embryo Transfer to Delivery — Bright Futures Families You can make an appointment for a free consultation. We will answer all of your questions and discuss important issues such as what financial commitments are expected, what types of insurance are commonly used, what types of services our agency offers, what the matching process is like, and more.  Please contact us to set up your free consultation. We would love to help you make the dream of family come true.
