U.S. Surrogacy Considerations

What are the pits in the process of surrogacy in the United States? What are the precautions for surrogacy in the United States? This is a question that many prospective parents and prospective parents want to know. This article gives the most practical dry goods for surrogacy in the United States, allowing prospective parents to prevent fraud and save time and money.

Precautions for surrogacy in the United States:Package success is conditional

Many prospective parents will be attracted by the words "baby boy", "twin", "successful package" and "no risk". The eager mood and the intermediary publicity of the smallpox have suddenly fallen, feeling that it is just around the corner to hold the child. The additional conditions will be provided in full, so that the prospective parents can not withdraw. Therefore, please understand the additional terms in detail when consulting. The surrogate birth is not a machine manufacturing. There are too many uncertain factors in the middle. It is certainly not reliable to give too many guarantees and commitments.

Pay attention to the nature of the surrogacy company (surrogate agency)

The first is a large number of domestic intermediaries on the market, which can also be called channels. They do not actually operate the entire process and entrust customers to overseas companies. Of course, domestic intermediaries are also divided into professional and non-professional, professional types. It will provide consultation and contact services. Overseas resources such as hospitals, surrogate companies and ground pick-up services have good cooperation, which can basically let customers worry. For prospective parents who do not want to worry too much and tend to trust, they can consider cooperating with them. Of course, the cost will be higher, but it is necessary to understand its strength before starting. It may not necessarily be a large company or the most advertising. It depends mainly on overseas resources and strength, and whether the situation abroad is well known. I am most afraid of encountering unprofessional intermediaries. Advertising is better and better than doing. Attitudes before and after signing a contract are reversed. I only charge money and do nothing. Even if it is promoted, I cannot guarantee the maximum from all aspects. Success can be classified as a black intermediary.

The second type is overseas intermediaries, to discuss cooperation with hospitals and surrogate companies, provide overseas reception resources, and set up offices in China. Many prospective parents feel that this is better than domestic intermediaries, and they get first-hand resources, but this is not the case. Compared with domestic intermediaries, they have the advantage of better land access resources, and hospitals and surrogate companies are not necessarily under their control. Everyone knows that there is no shortage of hospitals, and the most urgently needed is a surrogate mother, especially a good surrogate mother. The control of the surrogate intermediary reflects the company’s strength, but the situation abroad is very different from that in the country. The foreign country emphasizes that it is done according to the contract. The practitioners will not work overtime like domestic employees. The efficiency is definitely not as high as that in the country. If you ignore it, the speed of advancement can be imagined, a good coordinator is essential. Here, the suggestion to everyone is not just to look at the size and strength of the company, the employee's due diligence and quality (domestic + foreign) is also an important consideration. (If you can, learn more about the overseas situation)

This type of company has a drawback that needs to be stated. They may claim to work with eight surrogacy agencies at the same time, and the surrogacy resources advantage. This sounds very good, but the situation in the United States is like this. Surrogate mother, the surrogate agency fee is paid to company A. If you are not satisfied with the surrogate mother, you need to change the surrogate mother. You can only change it at this house. Of course, there is no problem with the available surrogate mother. If there is no match, wait , The waiting time is uncertain. If you change the surrogate of another company, the previous agency fee is non-refundable, and you will need to pay another agency fee later.

The above two types of companies simply open the search engine and enter "overseas surrogacy" or "** test tube", the number of results will be very surprising, these two types of companies have made great efforts in marketing.

The third type is overseas local surrogacy companies, which are divided into many forms. Taking the United States as an example, there are roughly two types.

①The surrogate intermediary is responsible for recruiting surrogate mothers, collecting medical records of surrogate mothers, arranging prospective parent matching, coordinating transplantation, pregnancy management, etc. Most surrogacy intermediary companies are controlled by foreigners, and there are few Chinese. This is a historical reason The history of surrogacy in the United States has been over 30 years. There are also a small number of intermediaries who are only responsible for matching surrogates. They charge very little intermediary fees, and the problems and matters after matching will be ignored. Therefore, the specific service content should also be read carefully, and the following chapters will do further analysis.

②Hospital + surrogacy company, this combination is more common in Russia, Ukraine and other regions, causing many prospective parents to think that test-tube hospitals are surrogacy agencies. Most test-tube hospitals in the United States do not have their own surrogacy companies. Test-tube hospitals will recommend cooperation The surrogacy agency is for prospective parents.

Here is a small reminder that many prospective parents will struggle to choose a surrogacy company or a test tube hospital first. Personally, the entire surrogacy process takes 1 year to 1 year and a half (12-16 months). The test tube hospital focuses on embryo cultivation and transplantation , And the surrogacy company will give a control on the whole, surely hope that every project in the whole process will be the best, and will recommend local high-quality test-tube clinics, so as to win word of mouth, after all, this is also a long-term business, many Prospective parents have plans for a second or even a third child surrogacy. A bad case will have a great impact on the company’s reputation.

Treat with caution "charge first, then match"

Before transferring embryos, there is a surrogate matching process. Why match? This is a two-way choice. The surrogate intermediary must not only send the surrogate’s information to the prospective parent, but also the prospective parent’s information to the surrogate mother. The surrogate mother can choose whether to help the family. This process can be regarded as the official start of the vast project of surrogacy. 90% of the intermediary companies on the market will require prospective parents to pay a part of the fee before choosing a pregnant mother, and this fee is non-refundable. Of course, if this company can do surrogacy and then start paying, it is a manifestation of its confidence in its own strength. (The surrogate mother's medical examination fee is to be borne by the prospective parents/parents, about 4000 US dollars)

See service items clearly

①Whether to provide a complete set of services from the early consultation to the birth of the child and return to the country

Some surrogacy agencies are only responsible for matching surrogate mothers, and are not responsible for services such as transplant escort, pregnancy tracking, baby birth, newborn certificates, and lawyer expenses. Although the quotation is very low, the risk is extremely high.

If the surrogate transplant is unsuccessful several times, what are the conditions for replacing the surrogate mother? Some companies like to play word games, and the contract is marked as a surrogate mother, but the prerequisite is that the doctor requires a change. This standard is very vague. It is important to know that doctors generally do not make such a request.

Will the surrogate agency be accompanied by a staff member when the surrogate mother is transplanted?

What is covered by surrogate insurance? How to buy newborn insurance?

Is there a good plan for the surrogacy company to improve the success rate? (Eg acupuncture conditioning, accommodation arrangement, bed rest, etc.)

Can I arrange a visit to a surrogate mother or to buy nutritional supplements during pregnancy?

Is there a paternity service when the child is born?

Are the child's birth certificate, vaccines, and life guidance after the paternity test returned to the country, such as household registration and other items covered in the contract?

②Whether to provide Chinese service and whether the feedback is timely

Due to the time difference, there are time and language barriers between domestic prospective parents and foreign contacts. Can you solve this problem when choosing an overseas surrogacy company?

③If there is an emergency, what kind of solutions will the surrogacy agency take? Can the staff be arranged on site for the first time?

Here, to answer a small question, many prospective parents will consult the question of choosing a surrogate in their own state or a surrogate in an out-of-state state. At least it is certain that in an emergency, the advantages of a surrogate mother in this state will be very obvious.

How to manage pregnancy

After nine or eighty-one difficulties, the transplant was finally successful. It seems that I can hold my baby within reach. As everyone knows, this is only the first of the three mountains on the surrogacy road. There are 3 weeks of pregnancy and childbirth behind. The risks are lurking quietly. The person in charge of the surrogate company will not relax for a moment, and will develop a perfect pregnancy management plan.

①After a successful pregnancy test, the surrogate mother needs to be continuously monitored in the test-tube hospital until 12 weeks of pregnancy. Any turbulence during this period will affect the prospective parents' nervous mood. The general feeling is that you should not contact me because Feng Ping Lang Jing means everything is going well and there is no bad news. The surrogate mother will report to the surrogacy company (surrogacy agency) after receiving each test result. The surrogate agency will have a dedicated case manager to pass the information to the prospective parent. Of course, there is no communication between the prospective parent and the surrogate mother. Obstacled.

②The surrogate agency will hold a dinner party every month. The surrogate mothers can communicate and the company can understand the situation of the surrogate mother. The most important thing is that the monthly psychological counseling activities are also carried out at this time. This is also the US surrogacy and The difference in surrogacy in other areas is not unified management, but psychological support, a more humanized way to ensure that the child is bred in the most natural state.

③When the surrogate mother is waiting for delivery in the maternity hospital, the general prospective parents will be present. The surrogate company’s paternity service, newborn discharge arrangements, birth certificates and return home documents to assist in handling, surrogate breast milk transportation, and arrangements for Yuesao all test a surrogate pregnancy The company's service quality and details can determine success or failure!
