JUST SO YOU KNOW:Agency-Assisted Surrogacy: Pros: Professional guidance available 24/7: When debating independent vs. agency surrogacy, ask yourself this: Don’t you want to have a professional protecting your rights and interests the entire time? When you work with a surrogacy agency, you will be assigned your own surrogacy specialist, who will advocate for your surrogacy needs and preferences from start to finish. You’ll have a professional on your side, which is not always ...the case in a private surrogacy arrangement. No extra fees: As a gestational carrier, you will not have to pay any additional fees for the services provided by a surrogacy agency. Your intended parents will cover all of these services counseling, support, contact mediation, communication with other professionals, and more. Larger selection of intended parents: In an agency-assisted surrogacy, your surrogacy professional will have a large network of intended parents to choose from. They will find intended parents who meet your preferences and needs and who are already approved for the surrogacy process. This eliminates the lost time spent searching on your own in a private surrogacy arrangement. Pre-screening for eligibility: You will not be the only one undergoing pre-surrogacy screening when you work with a surrogacy agency; prospective intended parents will, as well. This means that any intended parents you eventually match with are already cleared for and ready to start the surrogacy process unlike in independent surrogacy, where you may match with intended parents who are later disqualified because they don’t meet intended parent requirements. Cons: A smaller sense of responsibility: Debating between independent surrogacy vs. agency surrogacy? If you are someone who wants to take on a degree of personal responsibility in your journey and have your hands in every aspect of your journey, an agency-assisted surrogacy may not be the right path for you. A surrogacy specialist handles all of the nuances in an agency-assisted journey, which may be a disadvantage for certain gestational carriers. No options for traditional surrogacy: If you want to be a traditional surrogate (in which you donate your egg to the intended parents’ embryo), agency-assisted surrogacy is not the right path for you. Because of the legal and emotional complications associated with this kind of surrogacy, surrogacy agencies typically do not complete this kind of surrogacy. Remember debating independent vs. agency surrogacy is a conversation that only you can guide yourself through. Make sure to do thorough research before deciding which path is truly right for you and your family. Don’t hesitate to reach out to surrogacy professionals for more information about each option during your decision-making process. Good luck! See more

JUST SO YOU KNOW:How long does surrogacy process take? about four to six months There are various factors that can affect the length of the surrogacy process, but it generally takes about four to six months to locate a qualified surrogate. Provided your surrogate becomes pregnant after the first embryo transfer, the whole process will generally take about a year and a half.

JUST SO YOU KNOW :Can surrogate mothers keep the baby? This means that when the intended parents fulfill their contractual obligations, the surrogate mother has no legal claim to the baby. For this reason, gestational surrogacy agreements are highly recommended, and in some U.S. states, it's actually illegal to hire a traditional surrogate.

What the difference between GS and a TS? The main difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy is simple: in traditional surrogacy, the surrogate's eggs are used, making her the biological mother of the child she carries; in gestational surrogacy, the surrogate has no biological link to the baby. There are many factors that come to play when choosing which is the right one for you. Gestational and traditional surrogacy often involve different medi...cal procedures. In gestational surrogacy, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is used to create an embryo using the intended mother’s (or donor’s) egg and intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm, which is then transferred to the surrogate. IVF can be used in traditional surrogacy as well, but more commonly, traditional surrogacy involves artificial insemination using intrauterine insemination (IUI). IUI is a simpler medical process that usually does not require the surrogate to undergo as many fertility treatments prior to the procedure. In addition, intended mothers do not need to take fertility medications or undergo the egg retrieval procedure in traditional surrogacy, as their eggs are never used in the traditional surrogacy process. Legal Process: Laws are complicated no matter what kind of surrogacy a family chooses, but many states that allow gestational surrogacy do not allow traditional surrogacy. It is important to work closely with an attorney to understand your state’s surrogacy laws. In addition, the traditional surrogacy process often involves additional legal actions because of the surrogate mother’s biological connection to the child. Legal processes such as termination of parental rights and stepparent adoption proceedings may be necessary. Surrogacy Cost: Traditional surrogacy tends to be less expensive than gestational surrogacy, primarily because of differences in the medical process. IUI is much cheaper than IVF, and intended parents do not need to pay for egg donation or for fertility treatments for the intended mother because the surrogate uses her own eggs. Risk: While it is rare for any surrogate to challenge a surrogacy agreement in an effort to keep the child, traditional surrogacy does pose a greater legal risk than gestational surrogacy. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is the biological mother of the child, which means that if she bonds with the baby, she could potentially change her mind and decide she wants to parent the baby when it is born. The intended parents would then have to try to win custody in court, which could lead to a lengthy legal battle.
