What surrogates are saying
SURROGACY PROCESS STEP-BY-STEP
{ 01 }
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
It’s important for us to learn as much about you as we can. Our process starts with an intake application and moves into a getting-to-know-you interview (either in-person or via Skype). At this time our OB/GYN team will request and review your medical records, and we will assist in setting up an appointment for you and your spouse/partner (if applicable) to partake in a mental health evaluation.
{ 02 }
MATCHING WITH PARENTS
Matching like-minded intended parents and gestational surrogates is critical to a successful outcome. In this step, we send your profile to potential parents that fit your wish list. We will never ask you to compromise on your requests but will be honest if we feel your criteria will be difficult to match. Video introductions are made, and it is your decision whether or not to agree to the match.
{ 03 }
MEDICAL EVALUATION
After you agree to match with the intended parents, we set up a medical screening for you with the IVF doctor. During this appointment, you will undergo a saline ultrasound to determine the health of your uterine lining. An infectious disease screening for both you and your spouse/partner will also be performed. Private Label Surrogacy™ will coordinate any travel if necessary.
{ 04 }
IVF PREP AND TRANSFER
In this step, you start any necessary medications needed to regulate your cycle and prep for the embryo transfer. A mock transfer cycle may be performed to determine the ideal techniques to use for your particular body. The actual transfer date will be determined by the IVF doctor, and the transfer will take place by using a catheter to insert the embryo into your uterus.
{ 05 }
PREGNANCY
After the first 10-12 weeks of the pregnancy, you may return to seeing your personal OB/GYN. Throughout the pregnancy, the intended parents will be in contact with in-person or through text, email, or video chat. They may also attend doctor appointments with you. We will meet with you on a regular basis to discuss your nutrition, health, and assist you with your birth and postpartum plans.
{ 06 }
BIRTH AND POSTPARTUM
Prior to delivery, we will serve as your hospital liaison to ensure your plans are in place. After the birth, the intended parents will have their own room with the baby, but we encourage you to introduce the baby to your family and take pictures. Our nutritionist will review lactation and post-partum nutrition with you, and we will check in with you for several weeks after the birth to ensure you are healthy.

Gestational surrogates provide a remarkable service, and it’s important to us that you’re compensated well for it (as well as given the extra attention and advantages that you deserve).
Likewise, we are sensitive to the financial burden of the intended parents in this journey. Through our 30+ years of navigating the ins and outs of the industry, we have determined what we feel is the most ethical balance between surrogate pay and intended parent costs.
