Overall, your surrogacy specialist will help you through the Idaho surrogacy process until everyone has met their goal and beyond.

Step 2: Go Through the Screening Process

The screening process is to ensure everyone is prepared for the surrogacy process. We have typical standards for the Idaho surrogacy process that will need to be met by the surrogate in order to pursue surrogacy. There will also be a screening process that includes background clearances and medical evaluations done to determine if you are a quality candidate for surrogacy.

Intended parents will likely need to go through background clearances as part of the screening process. This will also need to be done for any adults who are living with you. In addition, it can be a good idea to connect with your fertility clinic to see if your eggs or sperm are viable to be used for the surrogacy process.

Step 3: Find Your Surrogacy Match

Finding your ideal surrogacy match is such an exciting part of the Idaho surrogacy process. Surrogates and intended parents are matched through our advertising and marketing efforts. When you work with your surrogacy specialist to create a profile and define your preferences, they will then use these to find your potential match. We are proud to offer the fastest matching process, getting out clients matched in an average of less than 90 days, which means intended parents get their baby in their arms faster than they would with other agencies.

Step 4: Begin the Legal Process

The Idaho surrogacy process has many facets from screenings to medical processes, but another piece of surrogacy is the legal process. Intended parents and surrogates will need their own surrogacy attorney to represent them through the surrogacy contract, an agreement that will be recognized in the Idaho court system. This will outline the risks and responsibilities of each party as well as outline payments and fees.

Later on in the surrogacy process, the intended parents will need to file a pre-birth order to be legally declared as the parents of the child. This will allow you to make any necessary medical decisions about your baby. Your surrogacy attorney will assist you through the entire process and help with whatever circumstances are required.

Step 5: Embryo Transfer

As everyone prepares for the embryo transfer, the surrogate will likely go through a course of fertility medication, lab work and any other test to determine the most successful time for the transfer. Generally, the embryo transfer is done at the intended parent’s fertility clinic. Intended parents will need to decide if they are using their own egg and sperm or would like to use a donor’s.

No matter your preference, we will be able to work with the fertility clinic to make sure your process goes as smoothly as possible. The egg and sperm of the intended parents or donor will be used to create an embryo that will then be transferred to the surrogate at the fertility clinic where she will need to stay for a few hours to ensure a better outcome. She will also need to take it easy for the next few days to help promote a positive result.

Step 6: Welcome Baby to the World

It’s the final step of the Idaho surrogacy process. This is an exciting time for everyone as your prepare to welcome a new life into the world. The events of labor and delivery will be determined beforehand, including letting the intended parents into the room, where the birth will be, how much the surrogate wants to be included in the post-birth celebration and more. Finally, once the events of the hospital come to a close and the surrogate and baby are cleared, everyone will go home, leaving the hospital with a lifelong bond.
