Intended parents who do not have their own legal team, we will help you appoint a legal representative for yourself as well as the egg donor and/or surrogate.

During the entire 40 weeks pregnancy, your case manager will ensure and follow up with the surrogate to ensure that all appointments are met.
We also ensure that our intended parents receive assistance while attending the appointments electronically.
At around 10 to 12 weeks, the surrogate will be released to the OB doctor to be monitored until the birth is given. We assist the intended parents in gaining a birth order which is a legal document from the courts stating that the intended parents are the legal parents of the baby.
11. DELIVERY DAY
After the 30th week we will ensure that all is on track. We will then start making delivery day arrangements. We’ll be there on the day that your baby is born to make sure that all runs smoothly so that you can return home with your newborn.
