Thanks for stopping by. Surrogacy Questions Answered is a new and developing website with a simple intention, to help intended parents that are considering egg donor surrogacy in the USA get answers to their many questions so they can make informed choices that are right for them and their families about their own egg donor surrogacy journeys.
My partner and I have two beautiful sons - born in March 2014 and September 2015 - through egg donor surrogacy in the USA. Our nearly three year journey - once we decided to get started - has encompassed two surrogacy pregnancies and wide spectrum of the typical options and processes that intended parents are faced with choosing among. In our two journeys we've: worked on both the East and West Coast of the USA; had a first time and an experienced surrogate; had fresh and frozen embryo transfers; had dual embryo and single embryo transfers; had transfers with and without CCS (comprehensive chromosomal screening); experienced normal and caesarian deliveries; negotiated two surrogacy agreements and an egg donor agreement; worked with surrogates that had and did not have medical insurance; used both of the main specialist surrogate maternity insurance providers in the USA; and navigated the US and UK legal and immigration processes.
At the outset we found the myriad of options and decisions we needed to make slightly overwhelming and more than a little confusing. It took us time to understand things comprehensively in a way that made sense to us and allowed us to feel confident in the choices we needed to make. Importantly we felt it took real effort to understand all the elements that make up the total costs of an egg donor surrogacy journey in the USA, and how to budget and manage those costs and financial risk.
Many people helped us along the way by sharing their experiences and answering our questions. We did a lot of research and learned a lot on our own as well. Surrogacy Questions Answered is our way to share with other intended parents, who are in the same place we found ourselves at the outset of our surrogacy journey, the knowledge we've amassed.
This website is new and a work in progress. Please register to receive updates and access additional resources as they become available, check back periodically and feel free to ask me questions as you navigate your own egg donor surrogacy journeys.
