If the IVF hospital is located in California, pregnant mothers outside the state need to fly to California for medical examination and transplantation (at least twice), and these costs need to be paid by the prospective parents. The test before the IVF clinic can not be arrived in person before graduation, and can only receive remote medication guidance, which has a certain impact on the fetus. Out-of-state pregnant mothers are unlikely to attend monthly meetings of pregnant mothers during pregnancy, and the difficulty of visiting is relatively high. Expectant parents do not have a comprehensive grasp of pregnant mothers’ pregnancy. When the baby is born, he needs to fly to the area where the surrogate is located to meet the baby.

Answer: You cannot designate a hospital or a caesarean section at a specified time.

The surrogate mothers in the United States are all obstetricians and gynecologists near their homes. They usually choose the obstetricians they are familiar with. Different obstetricians have their own cooperative production hospitals, so prospective parents can’t designate a hospital. First choose the doctor who cooperates with that hospital. But if the selected hospital is far away from the surrogate mother's home, it will cause inconvenience for her obstetric examination, and every time she has to drive a long distance, increasing the risk on the road.

The balance is still in the escrow account and it is safe.
