“If I am thinking correctly, a new baby is probably, undoubtedly the grandest gift that could be” -Winnie the Pooh
sur·ro·ga·cy
‘s r g sē/ noun noun: surrogacy
1. The process of giving birth as a surrogate mother or of arranging such a birth. 2. A woman who bears a child on behalf of a couple unable to have a child, by implantation of an embryo. Selecting an agency can be very confusing and intimidating for Intended Parents and Surrogates alike. We hope this list will provide you with some insight about what you should look for when selecting a surrogate agency. We would love to help you move forward in your own journey. When interviewing a Surrogacy Agency, ask these questions to help decide if they are the right fit for your needs. ______ 1. Do they provide support throughout the entire process and through birth? Are they a match making service only? Is their contract clear about the services they will provide you? Do they offer 24 hour support? Who will be there to answer questions or take your call in case of an emergency? ______ 2. Surrogacy Agencies are not medical or legal providers, however the reputable ones have done their research and will be helpful in selecting a physician, attorney, psychologist, etc., as well as finding the answers for medical or legal questions. ______ 3. What type of support do they provide? Get specifics. What type of staff do they have? Please ask to visit their office or have a Skype tour of their facility. ______ 4. Does the agency have surrogate support group meetings and/or annual parties? These are always fun. For surrogates this is a great way to meet other women who are going through many of the same things. ______ 5. How do their surrogates receive their funds? It is ideal if they are held by an escrow company or by an attorney. Please remember that you may have other questions that are important to you. Use your intuition before making your final selection.
