ACRC Weekly Case Update | Welcoming the New Year with Hope and New Life

As we welcome a new year, ACRC Surrogacy continues to move forward with warmth, gratitude, and a deep commitment to every family building journey we support. The turning of the calendar marks both a gentle farewell to the past year and a hopeful beginning for the future. It is a time to reflect, to celebrate, and to look ahead with confidence and compassion.

ACRC Surrogacy is a legally registered surrogacy agency in California and holds a New York Department of Health Medical License. All of our services follow U.S. federal and state regulations, as well as FDA and ASRM guidelines. Ethical surrogacy, transparency, and safety remain at the core of everything we do.

Ethical Surrogacy in the United States: What It Truly Means

Ethical surrogacy in the United States is grounded in clear legal protections, informed and voluntary consent, and respect for everyone involved in the surrogacy journey. For Surrogates, this means entering the process with full transparency, independent legal representation, and comprehensive medical and emotional support.

In the U.S., ethical surrogacy is defined by key principles that protect Surrogates and ensure responsible family building, including:

• Receiving fair and clearly explained compensation where permitted by law

• Having independent legal counsel separate from the Intended Parents

• Undergoing thorough medical and psychological screening

• Maintaining full bodily autonomy and personal dignity throughout pregnancy

• Being supported by licensed professionals, accredited fertility clinics, and qualified third parties

At ACRC Surrogacy, we believe ethical surrogacy is not only about legal compliance, but also about dignity, trust, and long-term well-being. Every Surrogate participates voluntarily and is respected as a valued partner in the process, never as a service provider. Open communication, informed decision-making, and ongoing professional support are essential elements of every journey we facilitate.

A Beautiful New Beginning: A Surrogate Welcomes Healthy Twins

This holiday season brought heartwarming news from one of our incredible Surrogates. A Surrogate successfully delivered healthy twin babies, creating a moment of double joy for a single Intended Mother who had long dreamed of building her own family.

For this Intended Mother, the decision to pursue surrogacy was deeply personal. Wanting to build a family and no longer face life alone, she bravely began her surrogacy journey. After careful medical planning, two embryos were transferred, and both implanted successfully. The pregnancy progressed smoothly, leading to a healthy delivery.

The twins were born strong and healthy, required no NICU stay, and were discharged from the hospital just two days later. This successful outcome reflects not only medical excellence but also the dedication, responsibility, and compassion shown by the Surrogate throughout her journey.

To honor her incredible commitment, ACRC Surrogacy prepared a personalized milestone certificate and a heartfelt gift as a token of appreciation. Her generosity and strength helped turn a dream of motherhood into reality.

Surrogacy Milestone: Reaching 34 Weeks with Confidence

We are also excited to share progress from another Surrogate, who has successfully reached 34 weeks of pregnancy. Each week brings her closer to meeting the baby she is carrying, and her journey has been marked by care, consistency, and dedication.

She carefully documents her pregnancy through prenatal photos, creating a meaningful record of the baby’s growth from the earliest ultrasound images to clear facial features.

Throughout her surrogacy journey, she has maintained a healthy routine, followed all medical guidance, and attended every prenatal appointment to ensure the best possible outcome.

We wish her continued health and a smooth remainder of her pregnancy as she approaches delivery.

A Powerful Moment: Hearing a Baby’s Heartbeat

Another touching moment comes from a Surrogate who recently shared a video of the baby’s heartbeat. The steady and strong rhythm offered reassurance and joy, serving as a beautiful reminder of the miracle of life growing within.

For many Surrogates, moments like hearing a heartbeat strengthen the emotional connection to the journey and reinforce the purpose behind becoming a gestational carrier. These milestones are often shared with Intended Parents, creating bonds built on trust, communication, and shared hope.

Moving Forward Together into the New Year

As we step into the new year, ACRC Surrogacy wishes happiness, health, and fulfillment to all Intended Parents, Surrogates, and families within our community.

For those beginning their journey, may the year ahead bring clarity and confidence. For those waiting patiently, may your perseverance be rewarded. No matter where you are in your surrogacy journey, ACRC Surrogacy is here to support you every step of the way.

We look forward to continuing our mission of ethical surrogacy in the United States, compassionate care, and professional guidance as we help more families grow in the year ahead.
