For many people who want to start a family, the dream of having a child is not easily realized. The latest data on infertility available to CDC are from the 2011–2015 National Survey of Family Growth. Almost 7% of married women aged 15–44 years were unable to get pregnant after at least 12 consecutive months of trying to conceive.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been used in the United States since 1981 to help patients become pregnant, most commonly through the transfer of fertilized human eggs into a woman’s uterus.
Who can become intended parents
Heterosexual couples, single parents, and the LGBT community can become intended parents through surrogacy and egg donation legally.
Can I become an intended parent if I do not struggle with infertility
Our answer is yes. A lot of public or business people conceive babies via surrogacy due to their crazy schedules.
Independent journey or Agency
An independent journey sounds like you could save money on agency fees. However, you need to find a surrogate, psychologist, or attorney by yourself, assuming something happens during the journey. For instance, the surrogate does not pass medical screening or change her mind. You may get a big loss and nobody could help you.
Working with an agency, you do not need to worry about those headaches. A professional agency means a professional team to support your entire journey. ACRC's experienced team evaluates our egg donors and surrogate-based on ASRM guidelines and highly involved journeys. We passionately guide your parenthood journey step by step and protect your surrogate and baby.
International Intended Parent
The international intended parent may have more concerns because of the long distance. Especially for the first-time intended parents may more feel nervous and have a lot of questions. No worries, the distance would not be a problem. ACRC has deep experience working with international intended parents, we are 24/7 by your side to close your relationship with your surrogate and keep you in the loop of your journey.
Covid and Surrogacy
Covid as a pandemic affected our daily life a lot. It hesitated a lot of intended parents to start their journey. We recommend our surrogates receive Covid vaccines to lower the risks of infection. Some international intended parents may consider travel restrictions. ACRC prepares legal documents or medical invitations for intended parents to make sure they could enter the United States to pick up the babies or receive IVF treatments. Furthermore, we also have the experience of flying the babies to China to help the Chinese intended parents.
