HOW IT WORKS
From your first conversation to bringing your baby home.
Every family's journey is different, but most follow the same six stages. Here is what happens at each one, what we take care of, and what we will ask of you.
Typical IVF journey: 2 - 4 months
Typical surrogacy journey: 13 months to birth
Language: Mandarin and English throughout

Choosing your team

Your final decisions. Each provider signs its own agreement with you.

Medical preparation and matching
About 3–5 months

Medical tests, IVF to create embryos, and matching with an egg donor, sperm donor or surrogate if your plan includes one.

Completing medical tests, and one or more trips to the U.S. if your clinic requires them.

Your attorney negotiates the surrogacy or donor agreement. Funds are deposited with an independent escrow company.

Staying in touch and making decisions when the medical team asks.

Birth and going home
