Everything in this guide has been studied many times by other people who are already happy parents today or are happily expecting their baby. You can read their reviews, and we will be happy to get to know you in more detail.

We hope our guide will help you choose a clinic that really wants to help you. You can read about the differences between an agency and a clinic in our article. And we will tell you how to choose the right surrogacy program for your situation.

Legal landscape and guaranties of surrogate motherhood

The first and most important thing you should know is that in a good reproductive clinic, all programs are built on the principle of a guaranteed result and a transparent process for achieving it. In a simplified form, this means that future parents (at least one of them) are required to provide genetic material (eggs and/or sperm) and pay for the necessary package of services, and the clinic undertakes to ensure the birth of a healthy child without additional payments and hidden fees.

The scheme for selecting a suitable program is based on the following assessments:

your reproductive potential (quality of sperm and eggs);
social factors (citizenship, marital status);
individual wishes (choice of sex of the child, budget, desired country of the program, desired citizenship of the newborn).

The legal mechanisms for legalizing a child are always standard, but they strongly depend on the country of implementation, your citizenship and marital status. We always work within the framework of the current legislation of the country where the program is held. Therefore, for each couple, depending on 3 groups of factors, the optimal package of services is selected, which guarantees the birth of a healthy child and the simplest process of its legalization.

You can find out right now in which countries you can conduct the program depending on your marital status:

At this stage, you already have a rough idea of what you need, in which countries the legislation will definitely allow you to become parents with the help of surrogacy. At the next stage, depending on your citizenship, budget, individual wishes and willingness to incur bureaucratic costs (or the desire to become parents as soon as possible), specialists recommend the best program and country for you. Let's consider the following stages of program selection using the example of our clinic

In the case of a remote program without visiting our clinic, only one step is added: the transport of cryofrozen eggs/sperm/embryos from your home country to our clinic. The result is always the same – the birth of a healthy child.

We have programs for all budgets: Afordable and Basic are economical options, we recommend all Guarantee and Deluxe packages as optimal, suitable for most expectant parents.

We offer parents a simple and specific process in the best interest of the unborn child. It doesn't matter how complex your case is, the clinic takes care of all the difficulties. Any program for parents fits into 3 simple actions: choosing and paying for the right package of services - creating a healthy embryo - meeting with your child in the chosen country.

Stage I. No prepayments for the program, all consultations of lawyers, doctors and coordinators are free. We conduct an examination and determine your reproductive potential to see if we can guarantee the result. If doctors cannot give you guarantees, Feskov Human Reproduction Group simply does not start working. We will offer a suitable program only if it is really possible to become parents in your case. At the end of this stage, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the contract and decide whether you are ready to start the journey towards your child.

Stage II. Conducting the medical part of the program in our clinic: creation and selection of healthy embryos using the PGD-NGS method (at this stage, it is possible to determine the sex of the future child), preparation of the surrogate mother for transfer, unlimited number of IVF before pregnancy. There are no additional payments for ineffective transfers – the absence of pregnancy or its termination simply starts a second IVF cycle until the result is achieved.

Stage III. Pregnancy monitoring, arrival of the surrogate mother in the country of your choice for childbirth, birth of your child. Partner childbirth is possible, if necessary, full coverage of neonatal services. Our responsibility in the program begins with the signing of the contract and continues until you leave the maternity hospital with your child in a satisfactory state of health, and the main lucky ones - even with a baby of the chosen sex :)

Stage IV. Registration of the birth certificate at the civil registry office in the country of birth, support until the final legalization of the child in your country.
