| Intended Parents
A solution to infertility or other related issues is through surrogacy
or egg donation. It is important to find a professional to help you with
your needs to build your family. Personal service is very important. You
will need a professional who will help you with every detail.
A professional can actively search for
surrogates or egg donors or intended parents and can find and
qualify a surrogate or egg donor to suit your needs.
Part of the challenge for intended
parents is to find someone suitable for surrogacy or egg donation.
Choosing a surrogate includes reviewing and approving complete medical
records, checking family history, social history and education level.
A psychological evaluation will be done for the
surrogate or egg donor. Surrogate or egg donors will need to be
personally interviewed several times. Back ground checks for criminal or
child abuse offences are also essential.
Intended parents need to decide on the
physical and mental characteristics for a surrogate or an egg donor.
A determination will ultimately need to be made for the best surrogate or egg
donor match. The decision will be based upon information gathered from
surrogates and egg donors. Any individual issues or circumstances unique
to the intended parents or surrogate or egg donor should be part of the
consideration.
Thought also needs to be given to the intended parent's level of
personal involvement with a surrogate or egg donor.
Professionals provide intended parents
a profile of several surrogates or egg donors to be considered. In
trying to find the best match for
intended parents, a profile would contain photos of the surrogate or egg
donor and their children, if any. Upon selection of surrogates
or egg donors by intended parents, an agency will contact the surrogate or egg donor
to advise of potential match and provides general information about
intended parents. The surrogate or egg donor will review the profile of
the intended parents for her consideration. If a "match" is made the
parties will proceed with the legal aspect of the situation.
An attorney will prepare a written
legal contract detailing the monetary and non-monetary aspects of the
"match". Travel, accommodations, and all other costs would be included
in the contract. The intended parents would be obligated to pay for the
cost of a separate attorney for surrogate or egg donor.
Attorneys are available to prepare a
written contract for intended parents who have already chosen an
surrogate or egg donor.
