• Legal Surrogacy Agreement

According to California law, a surrogacy agreement between the surrogate and intended parents must be in place prior to any medical procedures. As a surrogate, you must have an attorney representing you that is separate from the attorney of the intended parents. The surrogacy agreement covers each party’s rights and obligations; surrogate compensation; how to handle what-if scenarios that may arise during the course of the pregnancy and a range of other issues.

• Surrogate Application

After reviewing our surrogate requirements and confirming that you meet all requirements, the next step in the process is to fill out a surrogate application form. After submitting this contact form, our agency coordinator will call you to complete a further application in which we ask you to provide information that includes your birth history; lifestyle and living situation; health history; as well as your reasons for wanting to become a surrogate. Once we review your information and accept your application, we will contact you to request relevant documents such as medical records of previous pregnancies and hospital birth records.

• Matching with Compatible Intended Parents

At Made in the USA Surrogacy, we are committed to matching surrogates with the most compatible intended parents. It is important that both parties’ values are aligned and that both parties meet physical and psychological requirements for a successful surrogacy. We take into consideration each surrogate’s preferences (for example, the extent of communication a surrogate wishes to have with the intended parents) to ensure that we match you with intended parents who are the best fit.

• Medical and Psychological Screenings

Once you are matched with intended parents, you will undergo extensive medical and psychological screenings to ensure that you are capable of successfully carrying a surrogacy pregnancy. You will meet with a licensed mental health professional who will conduct a thorough interview with you to determine whether or not they are mentally and emotionally prepared to undergo the surrogacy process.

In terms of medical screening, you can expect to undergo a physical exam; blood work; screening for infectious diseases and an ultrasound. Extensive laboratory tests may also be performed.

All costs associated with medical and psychological screenings – including travel costs if you have to travel for your appointments – are covered by the intended parents.

• Embryo Transfer

For gestational surrogacy, the embryo – made from the egg and sperm of the intended parents or egg/sperm donors– is transferred to the surrogate after in vitro fertilization. A catheter is used to transfer the embryo. It is inserted into the surrogate’s uterus via the cervix. This procedure is done under anesthesia (if needed) and is pain-free. After the procedure, the surrogate will need some days off to rest.

Usually, prior to the embryo transfer, the surrogate’s cycle is regulated using birth control pills and hormones like progesterone and estrogen. Doing this helps to ensure that hormone levels are at optimal levels for a successful pregnancy. Keep in mind that multiple embryo transfers may have to perform before a surrogate gets pregnant.

• Confirmation of Pregnancy

A few weeks after the embryo transfer, the surrogate returns to the fertility clinic to check whether or not they embryo implantation was successful and that she is pregnant. Pregnancy is determined by measuring the HCG level of the surrogate. An HCG level of 50 or higher usually indicates that the surrogate is pregnant. For multiple pregnancies, HCG is 200 or higher. The surrogate is tested again a couple of days later to make sure that the HCG levels are rising.

Throughout your pregnancy, surrogates can expect to have the full support of the Made in the USA team. A surrogacy coordinator – assigned to you after you are accepted to our agency – will guide and support you as you navigate the demands of the process.
