Surrogacy

Welcome to Pacific Reproductive Center: Your Trusted Destination for Surrogacy Services

At Pacific Reproductive Center, we advocate for exploring all avenues of family building, including surrogacy. Our goal is to equip potential parents with the resources and information needed to welcome healthy babies into their lives. Despite any reproductive challenges you may face, we’re confident in our ability to help you achieve your dream of parenthood.

If you’re navigating fertility obstacles, California surrogacy services might be among the options you’re considering. Surrogacy involves a third party carrying a pregnancy to term, offering hope to individuals or couples unable to conceive on their own, including same-sex couples and single parents.

There are two main types of surrogacy: traditional and IVF surrogacy. Here, we focus on IVF surrogacy, providing insight into the entire process.

Understanding Surrogacy

Surrogacy is a beautiful path to parenthood for those unable to conceive naturally. Here, we outline the different types of surrogacy agreements available at reputable clinics.

Gestational Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy involves a surrogate carrying a child not biologically related to her. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryos created using the intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material are implanted into the surrogate’s uterus.

Compensated Surrogacy

In compensated surrogacy, the surrogate receives financial compensation for pregnancy-related expenses, including medical costs and compensation for her time and effort.

Compassionate Surrogacy

Compassionate surrogacy, also known as altruistic surrogacy, involves the surrogate not receiving financial compensation beyond reimbursement for medical expenses.

Surrogacy vs. IVF

Surrogacy and IVF are distinct fertility treatment options. Surrogacy involves a third party carrying the pregnancy, while IVF involves fertilizing eggs outside the body and transferring resulting embryos into the uterus.

The IVF Surrogacy Process

IVF surrogacy entails retrieving eggs from the intended mother or donor, fertilizing them with sperm, and transferring resulting embryos to the surrogate’s uterus. This process involves several steps:

Egg Retrieval
Sperm Collection and Preparation
Creation of Embryo in the Lab
Embryo Transfer to the Surrogate
Implanting the Embryo
Fertility Drugs and Medications

Surrogacy Agencies and Professionals

Surrogacy agencies play a vital role in matching intended parents with surrogates, managing legal aspects, and coordinating medical procedures. These agencies ensure a smooth and transparent surrogacy journey for all parties involved.

Emotional and Psychological Impact

Surrogacy impacts each participant differently, requiring emotional support and counseling services to navigate the journey successfully.

Becoming a Surrogate Mother

Becoming a surrogate involves undergoing extensive screening and meeting specific qualifications to ensure a successful surrogacy process.

Legal Considerations and Regulations

Navigating surrogacy involves understanding legal aspects, including surrogacy contracts, pre-birth orders, and state regulations governing surrogacy agreements.

Financial Aspects and Costs

Surrogacy involves various expenses, including agency fees, legal fees, medical procedures, and surrogate compensation. Understanding these costs is essential for planning your surrogacy journey effectively.
