Timelines for Initial Stage (1 to 2 Months)

The initial stage of the surrogacy process involves application and consultation. In this process, the focus is on considering the factors of whether the surrogacy process is perfect for the couple’s requirements or not. The surrogacy experts discuss every aspect of the procedure with the intended parents and understand their requirements and financial condition.

Timelines for Finding Surrogate (2 to 3 Months)

This stage is actually time-consuming and complex. A surrogate is someone who gives birth to the child on the behalf of the intended mother. This process can take several months until the right match is found. To reduce the time in this stage, couples usually take help from the surrogate agency. Surrogacy agencies already have a lot of profiles of potential surrogates. The aim of the agency is to find a perfect match for the intended parents.

Timelines for Legal Procedure (1 to 2 Months)

Since the surrogacy process involves two parties, to preserve the rights of both parties it is compulsory to draft a legal contract.
