You have a few options when you are deciding on surrogacy. Some intended parents try to create their own surrogacy arrangement by seeking out a surrogate mother and personally coordinating all the travel, medical, financial, and legal details. This is very difficult to do if you do not have the experience with the respective laws, medical processes and typical occurrences that happen in a surrogacy. In this scenario, the Intended Parents are coping with the emotional aspects of the surrogacy process, while trying to manage medical coordination, and trying to make sure your contract is legal and your surrogate is legitimate, screened and has your best interests at heart. Others choose their fertility doctor’s in-house program, if one is available.
Alternatively, working with a surrogacy agency such as Simple Surrogacy, LLC, will result in the least amount of stress, the greatest amount of emotional and psychological support, access to the most thoroughly-screened surrogate mothers, and assistance with financial and legal agreements.
First and foremost, you want to find the best surrogate mother for your individual situation. Simple Surrogacy screens surrogate mother candidates for medical and psychological issues, reviews their entire medical and pregnancy history, and conducts intensive background checks. With your doctor’s in-house program or an independent arrangement, you are not guaranteed access to the most eligible candidates. A surrogacy agency often has a more formalized and thorough screening process.
