Overview
Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of giving birth to a child or children for others (intended parents) to raise. This special woman is called the surrogate.Blessing Surrogacy agency conducts gestational surrogacy arrangements, whereby embryos produced by the intended parents, with eggs from the intended mother or with the assistance of an egg donor, are implanted in the surrogate. The embryo is produced by a process called in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process ensures the baby has no genetic relationship to the surrogate.

The Process
Preliminary free consultation
We encourage you to have a consultation with us, during which you will meet with a process consultant from our agency to review our programs and options, including the detailed process of matching with a surrogate, legal process, insurance details, surrogacy costs, and basic medical information. We can also arrange you to meet with our doctors and clinics as well as to understand more details of the IVF process and legal process if necessary.
Becoming a Blessing Surrogacy Parent
After your free consultation, and if you would like to proceed with Blessing Surrogacy, you will sign a service agreement with us. Then you will be assigned a Case Manager, who will guide you through every phase of the process. Your Case Manager is also responsible for all the logistics involved with scheduling medical screenings, monitoring IVF Cycle and so forth. Your Case Manager will provide professional service to you from signing the service agreement, to and after the baby is born.
The Matching Process
The next step will be to find an appropriate match with a gestational surrogate who has completed our comprehensive screening process. The average time frame for completing a match with a surrogate is between 1 to 3 months and is based on a client’s matching requirements. But we usually have some good candidates in database who can be matched very quickly with you. Once match is confirmed, our Surrogate Coordinator will arrange psychological screening, medical screening and legal process for your surrogate. When legal clearance is finished, you and your surrogate will formally exchange contac
Getting Pregnant
This stage begins upon the official confirmation of heartbeat by ultrasound during the 6th to 7th week of pregnancy and lasts until delivery. Your Case Manager will be in contact with you periodically if any updates from the surrogate. We encourage you and surrogate to communicate with each other as much as possible and we will always be there for translation assistance if needed. The legal team will also begin establishing parental rights at the fourth month of pregnancy. Additionally, your Case Manager will contact the hospital 1 to 2 months prior to delivery to prepare the hospital for a surrogacy birth. At this time, the legal team will coordinate the completion of the legal documentation for your baby or babies.
Bringing baby back home
The legal team will work within the most current laws of the state of birth, as well as international laws, in order to ensure that your journey ends with the required documentation for your home state or country. For international parents, the estimated time that you will need to remain in the state of birth is approximately 3-4 weeks after the child is discharged from the hospital.
FAQS
There are two types of surrogacy—traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy.
Traditional Surrogacy:
In which the surrogate either undergoes artificial insemination or IVF with sperm from the male or from a sperm donor. The surrogate herself provides the eggs and is therefore genetically related to the child. This form of surrogacy is the older method and because of the genetic link between the surrogate and the baby, there is some downside risk to this form of surrogacy.
Gestational Surrogacy:
In which the surrogate carries a pregnancy and delivers a child that is created from the egg and the sperm of the intended parents and/or donor egg and /or donor sperm and/or donated embryos in any combination. The key to this type of surrogacy is that the gestational surrogate is not genetically related to the child and acts only as a gestational carrier for the pregnancy.
