How are surrogacies arranged?
A number of professionals work with the intended parents and carrier to create a successful outcome. Social workers, psychologists, physicians, and lawyers evaluate the carrier for suitability and make appropriate matches with intended parents. Counseling is provided throughout the process. Medical specialists are required for obtaining the eggs and sperm, implanting the embryo(s) in the carrier, monitoring the health of the pregnancy and delivering the baby. Lawyers are required to negotiate egg donation and surrogacy agreements and prepare other legal documents beginning from before conception and extending until after the birth (if post-birth procedures are necessary).
