FAQ’s

Laws vary widely by state, so start with a specialised reproductive‑law attorney, check your state’s health or family services website, and consult verified blog posts from our surrogacy education section.

While every case differs, most surrogacy journeys span 12‑24 months, factoring in matching, IVF, pregnancy and legal steps.

Both intended parents and surrogates may face challenges such as waiting and uncertainty, managing attachments or boundaries, maintaining communication, and navigating expectations. Education, counselling and open dialogue can help mitigate these stresses. 

Surrogacy laws vary widely by state and country. The best way to understand your options is to review a trusted surrogacy law guide that explains parentage orders, contracts, birth certificate rules, and what makes a jurisdiction “surrogacy-friendly.”
You can explore detailed legal overviews on our USA, Canada, and Ghana program pages or request a personalized legal briefing during your consultation.

A complete surrogacy journey typically takes 12–20 months, depending on surrogate availability, medical screening timelines, IVF cycles, legal processing, and pregnancy duration.
Intended parents who already have embryos or who match quickly may finish sooner, while international programs may take slightly longer due to travel and documentation requirements.

Altruistic surrogacy refers to arrangements where the surrogate is not paid a base compensation for carrying the pregnancy. She may still receive reimbursements for medical care, travel, maternity clothing, and pregnancy-related expenses, but no financial incentive is provided.
This model is common in Canada, the U.K., India (for relatives only), and several other regions with laws restricting compensated surrogacy.

The egg donor process involves careful medical and psychological screening, legal contracts, ovarian stimulation, and egg retrieval.
Donors undergo a short treatment cycle (about 10–14 days of medication) before eggs are retrieved and fertilized to create embryos for the intended parents.
You can browse active donor profiles—including IndianEggDonors, EggDonors4All, and other partner databases—to view qualifications, photos, and availability before selecting your match.
