Embarking on the surrogacy journey is one of the most meaningful and life-changing decisions a family can make. At Fairfax Surrogacy, our goal is to offer clarity, reassurance, and expert guidance throughout the entire surrogacy process for intended parents. Our experienced team of surrogacy professionals provides education, personalized support, and a streamlined process designed to help you feel fully prepared every step of the way.
In this guide, we walk you through what intended parents can expect from the moment they connect with us to the moment they welcome their baby home.
Getting Started: Your First Steps in the Surrogacy Process for Intended Parents
Your journey begins with our informational request form. This helps our team understand your current stage, your fertility clinic, your preferences for a gestational carrier, and your expectations.
After submitting the form, intended parents are invited to a complimentary video consultation, where we answer initial questions, discuss your goals, and provide resources that help prepare you for the surrogacy process ahead.
Your Consultation: Understanding the Surrogacy Program
During the consultation, we offer a detailed overview of the surrogacy process for intended parents at Fairfax Surrogacy. This conversation typically includes:
-
A review of how we screen and support our gestational carriers
-
An explanation of timeline expectations
-
Resources for fertility clinics and egg donors
-
Emotional and logistical considerations
-
An overview of our transparent fixed-fee model
Our fixed-fee structure covers major prenatal and delivery expenses, ensuring intended parents have clear expectations without unexpected costs later in the journey.
Vetting and Matching: A Key Part of the Surrogacy Process for Intended Parents
A core element of our program is the rigorous vetting of gestational carriers. This includes:
-
Medical records review
-
Background checks
-
Lab work and screenings
-
Pre-clearance to avoid delays later
Once a gestational carrier completes vetting, we begin the matching process, which carefully aligns:
-
Intended parents’ preferences
-
Gestational carrier preferences
-
Fertility clinic requirements
This thoughtful matching approach supports a positive, respectful, and collaborative surrogacy experience.
Legal and Administrative Guidance
Legal requirements are an important part of the surrogacy process for intended parents. Our team supports you with:
-
Coordination of Gestational Carrier Agreements
-
Parentage order preparation
-
Review of legal timelines and state requirements
-
Communication with your attorney and the carrier’s attorney
We ensure all required documents are completed, reviewed, and finalized well before birth, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
Transfer and Pregnancy Support
After matching, the gestational carrier begins her medical preparation for the embryo transfer. Fairfax Surrogacy assists with:
-
Travel arrangements (if needed)
-
Local monitoring coordination
-
Appointment support and communication with your clinic
When pregnancy is confirmed and the gestational carrier transitions to her primary OB, our team continues to monitor progress, provide updates, and ensure a smooth experience.
Throughout this stage, our fixed-fee model covers appropriate medical expenses and supports transparency for all parties involved.
Preparing for Birth and Post-Delivery Care
As the due date approaches, we help create a detailed birth plan that outlines expectations, communication, and hospital procedures. We ensure intended parents, the gestational carrier, and medical staff are all aligned and prepared for various delivery scenarios.
Post-delivery, we continue our support with:
-
Coordination of hospital documentation and birth certificates
-
Allocation of medical bills
-
Emotional support and post-birth check-ins
-
Ongoing communication as intended parents transition into life with their newborn
Our commitment extends beyond birth – we remain connected to celebrate milestones and provide continued support whenever needed.
The surrogacy process for intended parents is a journey filled with hope, anticipation, and profound joy. At Fairfax Surrogacy, we are honored to guide families through each chapter – matching them with the right gestational carrier, ensuring legal and medical steps are completed with care, and providing ongoing support through delivery and beyond.
