Surrogate Screening & Support

Case Study

From Match to Baby in 15 Months

A single intended mother with embryos stored at an FDA-registered clinic. After compliance checks, she matched with a surrogate in 6 weeks. Contracts finalized within 30 days. First transfer was successful. A pre-birth order was granted in the second trimester. She left the hospital with her baby 48 hours after delivery—smoothly, thanks to parallel processing of legal, insurance, and medical steps.
