Frequently Asked Questions
Surrogacy is more than a medical process—it’s an act of love and human connection. It’s a journey where a woman, known as a Surrogate, carries and gives birth to a child for someone who dreams of becoming a parent but cannot carry a pregnancy themselves often using IVF technology.
At its heart, surrogacy is about trust, courage, and the unbreakable bond formed when two paths come together for one shared purpose: bringing a new life into the world.
For many Intended Parents, surrogacy is a chance to hold the baby they’ve longed for after facing infertility, medical complications, or loss. For LGBTQIA+ Intended Parents, it offers a beautiful and affirming way to grow a biological family—one built on love, intention, and equality.
Costs vary depending on the chosen services and candidates. We pride ourselves on offering customized solutions with transparent fee structures.
With our “No Match, No Fee” policy, you are only charged once a match with a surrogate or egg/sperm donor is confirmed. Additionally, your funds are securely managed through a reputable escrow or attorney-managed account to ensure financial protection. You can read more on our Surrogacy Cost page
Specializing in supporting international Intended Parents, our agency boasts an expansive third party experts network that offers seamless guidance on medicals, legal prerequisites, and logistics. This includes navigating options like gender selection or genetic screening in accordance with U.S. regulations. ACRC Global has successfully helped thousands of families outside the U.S. achieve their dreams!
If all proceeds as planned, your visits to the United States typically involve two trips. The initial visit focuses on IVF treatment, emphasizing egg retrieval and the creation of healthy embryos. The second visit is for welcoming your newborn child(ren). If Intended Parents are unable to return to the U.S. after the initial IVF treatment, ACRC is able to help facilitate the matching process and notarize legal documents remotely, ensuring convenience. For single gentlemen or gay couples, we offer added convenience by assisting with international sperm transportation and local blood sample collection, minimizing the necessity for multiple visits. Your second trip will be to the United States to joyfully welcome your new family member(s).
For egg retrieval, the entire cycle takes about 2 weeks. Afterward, international Intended Parents usually stay in the U.S. for 3 weeks. For males, it's a one-day appointment for sperm collection and bloodwork. You don't have to stay the entire journey, but attending key medical appointments with your surrogate is encouraged. Our team will coordinate the communications between Intended Parents and hospital to ensure s safe and smooth delivery. We suggest International Intended Parents arrive two weeks prior to the due date. The baby is usually discharged within 24 hours. Legal documentation takes approximately one to two months to complete before you can take your baby home.
We offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process, including medical guidance, psychological counseling, legal assistance, and financial advice. Our dedicated team and case manager is here to answer your questions and help ensure a smooth, stress-free experience at every step of your journey.
