Full-Service Support for your Journey to Parenthood

You will meet with an attorney who will assist you with onboarding process.

You will be asked to provide:

• Names of intended parents
• What you look for in a surrogate
• Potential timelines
• Medical Providers
• Any costs related to the services

Once this has been established, you will sign the agreement for the services to begin.

Next, you will begin the process of getting profiles of our available surrogates. The timeline of matching with a surrogate varies due to many different reasons. We monitor and carefully provide surrogates to you who are closely matched to your expectations. 

You will get the chance to have a video "meet & greet" with the potential surrogate to see if what matches on paper also matches in person. This gives both you and the surrogate a personal touch to what is a very important step in the journey. 

Congratulations on finding your match! Next, you will then meet with the attorney again and draft the Gestational Agreement, which varies by state, to begin the process of surrogacy. 

The attorney will work on behalf of the intended parents to ensure all details and expectations are listed in the agreement. The surrogate will have the opportunity to include input in the agreement. This process can take some time to ensure all requirements/expectations are met and agreed upon.

Your matched surrogate will begin the health screening process at your chosen fertility center. This must occur before your surrogate begins the embryo transfer process.

The surrogate will go through tests and medications to ensure a healthy pregnancy. This step requires the medical facility's clearance before moving on to the next step.

Once a positive test has been produced, you begin the countdown of starting your family. Congratulations! The surrogate will go through standard OB/GYN procedure during her pregnancy. This will require while informing you and keeping you in the loop throughout. This is your journey too!

During this time, your attorney will begin the legal process of establishing parentage rights and preparing all documents needed for the birth certificate (varies by state). 

This is also a great time to begin preparing to bring your little one home. Many intended parents begin nursery projects, newborn photographer planning, and other nesting.

Happy Delivery Day! Now that roughly 40 weeks have passed and the baby is born, your journey has reached the final steps towards the finish line. You can take your little one home while your attorney finalizes the legal documents listing your names on the baby's birth certificates upon finalizing.

We at Matt Brown Law will keep in touch over the weeks after the birth to make sure you have all you need and that you are happily beginning the early days of parenthood!
