Surrogacy Process
Shared Conception’s surrogacy process is carefully designed to be efficient and productive. We start with a private, 60-minute consultation where the entire program is discussed and details about the IVF process is also shared. We are always friendly, discreet and efficient. Our goal is that you completely understand the entire surrogacy process before you even start it.
Surrogacy Process for Intended Parents
It takes approximately 14-20 months, from start to finish, to complete a surrogacy program.
Shared Conception expertly guides you through all phases of the surrogacy process, giving you the peace of mind that your unique needs are being met efficiently and compassionately.
Our hands-on approach covers the gamut-from screening surrogate candidates to preparing you, the surrogate parents, for birth. We will hold your hand and guide you throughout the experience so you can savor your pregnancy.
You will start Shared Conception’s Surrogacy Program with a private 60-minute consultation in our offices or via Skype if you are not local to our offices. The entire program will be concisely explained to you, and details about the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process will be fully covered. If we are privileged to have you as our client, Shared Conception’s discreet and efficient staff will take you through our streamlined process for retaining our surrogacy services and will provide you with information about our admissions procedures. You are eligible to be matched with a surrogate once the admissions process is successfully completed. You will then be sent the potential surrogate’s profile when the appropriate candidate is determined. Upon your approval, Shared Conception will set up and facilitate a match meeting. Again, our surrogate services aim to please you!
Once a surrogate (and egg donor if applicable) is chosen, we address all the legalities and start medical procedures. Once you are matched, it takes approximately 12-18 months, from start to finish, to complete a surrogacy program.
Shared Conception is a full-service company that provides an exhaustive and selective admissions process, thorough case management and expert advice. The surrogacy process can be complex, but our goal is to simplify the process and support you through it all until you finally hold your precious baby!
Finding a Surrogate Mother
Shared Conception is extraordinarily selective in choosing a surrogate mother for you. Our candidates are required to pass an extensive, in-depth screening process – no exceptions. Even if we instinctively feel as if an individual fits the profile perfectly, we will not know nor make that determination until she has undergone our screening process.
When you find the right surrogate mother, an unbreakable bond is formed that culminates in the amazing start of a new family. A huge and vital part of our surrogacy agency is to walk with you every step of the way.
