​The 10 Steps of Becoming a Successful Surrogate Mother With ​A Family Tree Surrogacy

Step 1: Education / Application / Screening

A Family Tree Surrogacy is here to help and support you as you learn about becoming a surrogate mother/ gestational carrier.  After you have completed your application we perform our comprehensive background screening. 

Step 2: Connecting with Intended Parents

After you have completed your screening you have the opportunity to speak with intended parents you are looking to have a family of their own. At A Family Tree Surrogacy we care deeply about having the right match. This is a family connection that could last a lifetime. 

​Step 3: Medical/ Psychological Screening

After you have completed your application and received approval you can begin medical and psychological screening required by fertility clinics and A Family Tree Surrogacy. 

​Step 4: Surrogacy Agreement

Now that your screening has been completed you will work with an attorney in drafting and negotiating a surrogacy / gestational carrier agreement which will serve as the legal foundation for the entire surrogacy journey. A Family Tree Surrogacy has unique and exclusive connections with surrogacy attorneys because our CEO is a surrogacy and reproductive attorney. 

Step 5: Medications

In preparation for embryo transfer you will be given medications to help improve the chances for a successful pregnancy. These medications will all be monitored by the fertility clinic.

Step 7: Monitoring by Fertility Clinic

After the embryo transfer you will be closely monitored by the fertility clinic to ensure milestones are met. Monitoring will include confirmation of pregnancy as well as confirmation of heart beat. The fertility clinic may monitor the pregnancy up to week 12 or until it is time to change care over to the OBGYN. 

Step 9: Parentage Proceedings

In the second trimester parentage proceedings will begin. Parentage proceedings are legal proceedings to insure that the Intended Parents are on the birth certificate of the child to be born. 

Step 6: Embryo Transfer

The day of transfer is a joyous and special day for both you and the intended parent(s). Under the specialized medical guidance of the embryologist and reproductive physician a single or multiple embryos will be transferred with to increase the probability for a successful pregnancy. 

Step 8: Regular visits with OBGYN

Often you can use the OBGYN you used in a previous successful pregnancy. Like in your previous pregnancy you will have regular check-ups with the OBYGN.
