Your journey, your needs.

Whether you have already done significant research and are ready to get started or have just begun learning about the process and it feels daunting, Surrogacy Journey Consulting is here to provide answers to your questions and the support you need to make your journey to parenthood as smooth as possible.

 

Planning

The first step is to schedule a free consultation. We will review the process, discuss your plans and circumstances, answer your questions and help determine what services will best fit your needs. We want you to feel confident and comfortable as your begin your surrogacy journey.

 

Legal

Once your clinic has provided final eligibility review and medical approval, you are ready to work with a lawyer to prepare the surrogacy contract.  Your lawyer will prepare a first draft. Your gestational carrier will have her own attorney to review and negotiate on her behalf.

Matching

Whether we are finding your match or you are managing a search, matching has two key components. The first is eligibility – we need to make sure a potential surrogate meets your clinic’s criteria.  The second is “fit” – we want you and your surrogate to share a vision for this journey.

 

Pregnancy

After your contracts have been signed, you are ready to go! Your clinic will coordinate a planned date for embryo transfer. We can help with the logistics of setting up an escrow account, placing any necessary insurance and setting up monitoring for your gestational carrier.
