Once the agreements are signed the intended parents are required to complete and return parent profiles, retainer agreements, and medical and criminal release forms. When the information is received the intended parents will again be interviewed by the program director to ascertain what specific characteristics the intended parents desire in a potential surrogate/egg donor. 

Based on the information obtained, the center and its staff will begin the matching process and prospective surrogate and egg donor profiles will be presented to the intended parents for review.

When a match is achieved both intended parent (s) and surrogate have the opportunity to speak and meet. It is at this point that the intended parent (s) will begin their medical screening.

Signing of the contracts

Upon agreement of the parties to work together, they will then be directed to our legal staff who will begin to draft the contract. If all parties agree to the terms set forth in the contract they will be signed and copies sent to North American. Once the contract has been executed the surrogate will begin medical and psychological evaluations. 

Fertility Process

Following the successful screening of the surrogate, she will then begin the fertility procedures in accordance with the surrogacy agreement. In cases of artificial insemination we recommend the surrogate undergo a minimum of six attempts and in cases of IVF we suggest three.
