Medical Screening!

Now is when it gets very exciting! If travel is needed, you will travel to the IVF clinic with your support person. There, you will complete your labs. Some labs may be able to be completed locally. Once the IVF doctor approves you, you will receive your medical clearance.

Legal Procedures

Once you receive your medical clearance, you will receive referrals for legal counsel. Your counsel should always be different than your IPs and anyone else's. All parties including the surrogate, their partner and the IPs will sign the legal contract.
