The other is to borrow other people's eggs or sperm, even some of the eggs and sperm are borrowed from others, then the embryo is planted in the surrogate mother, until the child is born. Embryos and surrogacy without any kinship, this method is called test tube baby surrogacy.
Legitimate surrogacy in the United States, perfect industrial chain, the industry so far has more than 30 years of history, after more than 30 years of running in and experience, surrogate industry is more humane and transparent.

Surrogacy must have a surrogate company, lawyers, counselors, insurance companies, reproductive agencies and professional medical and legal translators complement each other, the agencies are doing their part but interlocking. In the United States, where surrogacy is mature and assisted reproductive technology is advanced, surrogacy is generally completed in 12-15 months.
The first step in surrogacy is anticipation of parental inquiries, including couples or single people or same-sex people. Parents are expected to fill in a form of intentions first, including personal information, a short history of pregnancy or infertility, who your reproductive doctor is, when to plan IVF, or if you have a frozen embryo in your clinic.
Some of the most important messages are expected parental requirements for surrogacy conditions, including age, race, height, weight, whether there is a limit to her history of abortion or caesarean section. At the same time, parents are expected to state your views on abortion and abortion, and whether or not they expect to have single or twin mothers. Finally, parents are expected to write a few paragraphs about their own families and add some life photos so that the expectant mother may have some preliminary understanding of the prospective parents. Please remember that surrogacy is a process of mutual choice between the two sides in the United States.
Next, we will search multiple surrogacy companies according to the requirements on your wish list and provide your existing surrogate surrogate information at your request. Here, we would like to remind you that the more you ask for surrogacy, the less candidates there will be. The surrogate market in the United States is extremely tight, and good surrogacy mothers are expected to be elected by their prospective parents within a day, or even hours. There are surrogate company information is also a few guests to pick together, which means that who will respond to the first pre-election. It is precisely because of the individual conditions on behalf of the mother have their own differences, which also directly affects the surrogate mother how much compensation.
When you and your surrogate browse each other's information and have the intention, we will assist you to arrange a multi-party conference call or online video. This is a very good opportunity to have a deeper understanding between both parties. The time for a call or video is usually about 30 minutes. The topics range from easy personal introductions to private birth experiences. The purpose is to give each other a friendly, sincere impression of cooperation.
