How to Get Started Finding a Screened, Highly Qualified Surrogate
The first step in the surrogacy process for couples or singles involves contacting our
office and speaking with one of our nurse coordinators. This no obligation phone
call is very important, as the information gathered by us will usually allow us
to determine your eligibility and suitability for our program. We will answer
any questions you may have, ask you a few questions, and provide you with
information about the availability of surrogates that may be of interest to you.
It should be noted that we provide totally non-discriminatory services to all patients
with no consideration of race, gender, national origin or sexual orientation.
• Call Toll Free in the United States: (800) 222-2802
• International Calls: (818) 728-4600
From our experience, persons considering the
use of a surrogate fall into two general categories: Those that know, based on
their understanding of their situation, that the use of a surrogate offers them
the greatest opportunity to achieve their pregnancy goals, and those that may
not be quite certain if surrogacy offers them the solutions that they seek.
Regardless of which group you may find yourself in, we invite you to browse all
parts of this site. We recommend begining with the Surrogacy FAQs.
The Initial Consultation
If you decide to schedule a consultation (the "next" step), we will also provide
you instructions for having your past fertility and health treatment records, if
any, forwarded to us for our review prior to your office visit. If traveling
from out of State or abroad, we can often arrange for you to meet and see all of
those that will be involved in your plans (physicians, embryologists, attorney)
all over the course of a long weekend (Friday-Sunday). For those that would also
like to meet with potential surrogates at the same time, a non-refundable
deposit will be required in advance of your visit so that the surrogates may be
present. The request to have surrogates available for the first visit is only
available for couples arriving from out of town.
