Frequently Asked Questions

What are the laws regarding surrogacy in the United States and worldwide?2024-07-01T09:17:20-05:00

Family Source Consultants accepts surrogates who reside in the United States into our program. Currently, no nationwide law governs surrogacy in the United States; each state has its specific surrogacy laws. Even if Intended Parents reside in a state or country where surrogacy or “paid surrogacy” is considered illegal or the laws are undefined, they can still pursue surrogacy to build their family. Intended Parents will be matched with a Surrogate who resides and will deliver in a “surrogacy-friendly” state.

Surrogacy laws in the United States and around the world are continually evolving. To ensure compliance and legal security, Family Source Consultants is pleased to recommend Intended Parents to a reputable collaborative reproduction attorney who can provide professional legal counsel. While Family Source Consultants can assist in determining the surrogacy laws applicable in your particular state, we are not qualified to offer legal advice. Therefore, when working with our agency, you will be referred to a reputable collaborative reproduction attorney who can provide you with the necessary professional legal counsel. This ensures that all parties are fully informed and protected throughout surrogacy.

Does FSC’s fixed-cost surrogacy program include legal expenses for both the surrogate and Intended Parents?2024-07-23T11:06:07-05:00

Yes. Our Fixed Package covers the legal expenses for both surrogate and intended parent.

What is Gestational Surrogacy?2021-11-12T07:47:56-06:00

A Gestational Surrogate has no genetic link to the child/ren she is carrying. A Gestational Surrogate becomes pregnant through the IVF procedure, in which the eggs of the Intended Mother (or Egg Donor) and the sperm of the Intended Father (or a Sperm Donor) are combined to create embryos, which are then implanted into the womb of the Surrogate.

Does FSC’s fixed-cost surrogacy program include the surrogate’s health care insurance coverage?2024-07-01T09:01:15-05:00

Our Fixed Package covers reviewing the surrogate’s current insurance policy and searching for a new surrogacy-friendly policy if needed. However, the costs for medical and maternity insurance premiums, co-pays, and deductibles are not included in the Fixed-Cost Surrogacy Program Fee.

Does Family Source accept Intended Parents who are unmarried?2013-12-03T19:47:23-06:00

Absolutely. We do not discriminate against any person based on marital status.

How much contact will I have with my Intended Parents or Surrogate throughout the process and beyond?2024-07-01T09:20:04-05:00

The level of contact between Intended Parents and their Surrogate is a personal decision. Some Intended Parents prefer frequent updates via email or phone and wish to attend many doctor appointments, seeking to be highly involved in the pregnancy. Surrogates may also appreciate a close relationship; many develop lifelong friendships with their Intended Parents.

Conversely, some Intended Parents and Surrogates prefer minimal contact, treating the arrangement more as a business relationship. This might involve occasional updates and phone calls, with limited in-person interactions until the delivery.

Family Source believes the most important aspect is to establish and agree on the desired level of communication and involvement during the matching process and ensure both parties strive to meet these expectations throughout the journey

What services does FSC provide to Intended Parents?2017-11-20T14:52:35-06:00

Family Source Consultants provide a non-biased liaison service for Intended Parents and Surrogates/Egg Donors.

Our goal is to encourage communication throughout the process and ensure a positive and healthy relationship between all parties involved. In order to make certain the journey is gratifying for all parties involved, we will oversee each step of the process in a supportive and proficient manner.

How many embryos are usually transferred? *2024-06-27T17:41:26-05:00

Family Source Consultants generally recommends transferring a single embryo. However, if Intended Parents choose to transfer two embryos and their reproductive endocrinologist approves, we ensure that the surrogates presented for matching are comfortable with this decision.

What if I’m not affiliated with a specialist (reproductive endocrinologist)?2024-07-01T09:21:17-05:00

Family Source is pleased to recommend reputable fertility centers for your consideration.

Does FSC’s fixed-cost surrogacy program include the IVF costs?2024-07-23T10:56:17-05:00

No. Fertility center expenses (e.g., screening, embryo creation, embryo transfers, medications, etc.) are not included in our Fixed Surrogacy Program Fee. Please check with your fertility center for their costs.
