Episode Highlights
Wade tackles the most pressing embryo questions intended parents face:
- Timing your surrogacy transition: Most families exhaust IVF options before considering surrogacy, and your fertility doctor should guide this decision.
- American Surrogacy’s unique matching approach: They wait until embryos are created before matching (maintaining momentum) and are one of the few agencies working with single-embryo families.
- Key practical insights: Genetic testing is highly recommended, keep embryos at your original clinic rather than shipping, and international transfers add complexity.
- Planning considerations: Dual journeys, double transfers, and donor options all come with specific costs, timelines and matching considerations.
