The Process (Intended Parents)
Imagine the tender touch of small fingers grasping yours for the first time, and the gentle coos that bring a profound sense of joy. However, the journey to parenthood may not always be straightforward. At Carrying Dreams, we understand the complexities and emotions involved in building a family, especially through surrogacy or egg donation. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through each step of the process to become an intended parent, addressing all your concerns.
About Becoming an Intended Parent
“Intended parent” might sound a bit clinical, but really, it just means you are an amazing individual or couple about to start an incredible adventure: building your family through surrogacy or egg donation.
You are the heart and soul of this story, brimming with love and ready to welcome a precious little one. It is a journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and maybe some uncertainty. Carrying Dreams is here to be your cheerleader every step of the way.
How It Works
At Carrying Dreams, we have streamlined the process into clear steps to make things as smooth as possible for you. Here is a breakdown:
- Consultation: Begin with a detailed consultation from our experts, ensuring you understand the entire surrogacy and egg donation process before making an informed decision to proceed.
- Screening: Intended Parents, like Surrogates and Egg Donors, undergo a background check and psychological evaluation to prepare for the matching process and program entry.
- Intake & Onboarding: This step allows for us to go through all the details of matching criteria and preferences that not only meet the requirements of your clinic but also yours as Intended Parents as well.
- Matching: Finding the perfect match is key. Intended Parents collaborate with a case manager to discuss matching criteria, review profiles online, and meet potential matches via video conference.
- Clinic & Legal: Do not worry about paperwork. Your fertility clinic conducts medical screenings for Surrogates and Egg Donors, followed by your legal team completing the Gestational Surrogacy Agreement (GSA) once cleared.
- Transfer & Pregnancy: A daily medication calendar and instructions are provided by the fertility clinic to the Intended Parents and Surrogate, leading up to the embryo transfer and pregnancy care.
- Post-Natal: Welcome to parenthood! Our postnatal support ensures you have the necessary resources and information to smoothly transition into parenthood, cherishing every moment with your new addition.
