Intended Parents
Your Journey
Once you choose to pursue gestational surrogacy, Journey Surrogacy can help you understand the journey that you are about to embark on. We are there for you every step of the way. We support you and your family as you take the first steps towards your dreams of parenthood.
The difference: Agency vs. Independent
An independent match requires the intended parents and the surrogate to manage the entire journey on their own. This means that they need to find a surrogate that meets the qualifications to be a gestational surrogate, find an experienced legal team, and much more.
Working with an agency connects you with the people and professionals needed to support and guide your journey throughout the entire process. An agency also ensures that your gestational carrier meets specific guidelines required for surrogacy.
The Process
Consultation: Start your journey to parenthood with a complementary consultation. We will learn more about you, your expectations, and your I need for your journey. You will also learn more about our agency, our surrogacy program, and our surrogates
Matching: Unlike other agencies we do not charge a fee until you have committed to a match. You will be matched with a pre-screened gestational carrier. Our surrogates undergo extensive pre-screening and medical records review by your clinic prior to matching. This helps to offer not only piece of mind for a match but helps to ensure a successful journey.
Medical Screening: We will help prepare you and your surrogate for pregnancy. We work with you and your fertility clinic to coordinate any additional testing.
Legal clearance: Once you and your surrogate are ready and medically cleared for pregnancy, we will help coordinate the legal process. Ensuring that all parties are represented by experienced attorneys that understand the complexities of assisted reproductive technology.
Transfer and journey management: We will work alongside your clinic, your surrogate, and you to coordinate transfer and management of the pregnancy. We will help prepare your surrogate and the hospital for the delivery in the second trimester. Once your surrogate has entered the third trimester we will work with you and your surrogate in preparing for the arrival of your baby.
