Question 1

What is surrogacy, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What are the costs?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What is egg donation, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Egg donation involves using eggs from an Egg Donor to assist Intended Parents in achieving pregnancy. Our agency provides access to a diverse pool of egg donors, ensuring a match that aligns with your preferences.

Question 4

What is IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), and how does it help with infertility?

Accepted Answer

IVF is a fertility treatment where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body to create an embryo, which is then transferred into the uterus. It is a highly effective method for overcoming infertility, and our team collaborates with top fertility clinics to achieve the best outcomes.

Question 6

As an international Intended Parent, how many times will I need to visit the United States?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 7

How long are international Intended Parents in the U.S. for during and after a surrogacy journey?

Accepted Answer

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.
