Next Steps After Finding a Surrogate
If you have embryos created with a fertility clinic already, then you’re ready to take the next step. Contact us to become that much closer to parenthood.
Once you find a surrogate in New York that you think could be the one, then your specialist will send their information to your fertility clinic. Once the clinic confirms she is able to be a surrogate, they’ll send your intended parent profile to her.
If she wants to know more about you, we’ll set up a zoom call for you both to get to know each other better. You don’t have to make a decision during this call but you can both ask each other questions you have about them or their profile. If you both come away from that call ready to move forward, you can make the match official.
If you do not have embryos created or a fertility clinic that you’ve partnered with, you need to do so before you can move on.
