Please review the questions and answers below, and feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns.
What is surrogacy? Surrogacy is a procedure in which a woman consents to bear a child for another individual or couple, referred to as the intended parent(s). This can be done using the intended parent(s)'s own egg and sperm, or through the use of a donor egg or sperm.
What types of surrogacy are there? Two distinct forms of surrogacy exist: traditional surrogacy, wherein the surrogate is biologically the mother of the child, and gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate carries an embryo formed using the egg and/or sperm of the intended parent(s).
Who is a suitable candidate for surrogacy? Individuals or couples who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term due to medical reasons or fertility challenges may be suitable candidates for surrogacy. Surrogacy may also be an option for individuals or couples who are in same-sex relationships.
How is a surrogate matched with intended parents? Surrogates are matched with intended parents based on a range of factors, including medical history, personality, and communication style. At Amazing Surrogacy, we work closely with both intended parents and surrogates to ensure a successful match.
How much does surrogacy cost? The cost of surrogacy can vary widely depending on a range of factors, including the location, the surrogate's compensation, and medical expenses. At Amazing Surrogacy, we offer transparent pricing and will work closely with you to create a plan that fits your budget.
Can I use my own egg for surrogacy? Yes, in gestational surrogacy, intended parents can use their own egg and/or sperm to create an embryo, which is then implanted in the surrogate.
How long does the surrogacy process take? The surrogacy process can take several months to a year or more, depending on a range of factors, including the location and the medical procedures involved. At Amazing Surrogacy, we work closely with you to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Will I have a relationship with my surrogate? Whether or not you have a relationship with your surrogate is up to you. Some intended parents choose to have a close relationship with their surrogate, while others prefer a more hands-off approach. At Amazing Surrogacy, we provide guidance and support throughout the process to ensure that everyone is comfortable and their needs are met.
How is the surrogate compensated? Surrogates are compensated for their time, effort, and any medical procedures they undergo as part of the surrogacy process. At Amazing Surrogacy, we work closely with surrogates to ensure fair compensation that takes into account their time and effort.
What happens if there are complications during the pregnancy? Our team will provide ongoing support and guidance throughout the pregnancy and birth process, and we will work closely with medical professionals to ensure that any complications are addressed promptly and effectively. Our top priority is always the health and safety of the surrogate and the baby.
What happens after the baby is born? Once the baby is born, the intended parents will take the child home with them. Our team will provide ongoing support and guidance throughout the postpartum period to ensure that everyone is adjusting well to the new addition to the family. At Amazing Surrogacy, we are committed to ensuring a smooth and successful journey for everyone involved.
