INTENDED PARENTS: SURROGACY AND EGG DONATION OVERVIEW

At Extraordinary Conceptions, we approach all aspects of fertility with
sensitivity, respect and dignity. We are committed to the success of our
intended parents and are here to support you through this exciting journey.

Intended Parent Registration »


INTENDED PARENTS: OVERVIEW

We’ve been in your shoes.

Building a family through the help of a surrogate or egg donor is a beautiful
and exciting time. We also know how emotional or delicate this experience can be
for intended parents. These powerful feelings are complex, and that’s why we can
offer a discreet, sensitive and hands-on agency experience.

Our founders, Mario and Stephanie Caballero, are proud parents of now-adult
twins, all thanks to the wonders of surrogacy. Their long struggle with
infertility and eventual surrogacy journey inspired them to open the doors of
Extraordinary Conceptions. With our firsthand experience with fertility
treatments, we will approach every aspect of your fertility and parenting
journey with care.




INTENDED PARENTS MEANING: WHAT IS AN INTENDED PARENT(S)?

When a baby is born with the help of a surrogate or donor, the folks who raise
the child are referred to as intended parents (or intended family). This term is
used throughout the entire surrogacy or egg donation cycle. Once the baby is
born, intended parents simply become “parents!”


WHO CAN BECOME AN INTENDED PARENT WITH EXTRAORDINARY CONCEPTIONS?

At Extraordinary Conceptions, we work with intended parents from all walks of
life and all over the world. Our head office is in the United States, but we
also have team members in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, the UK, and Europe.

Each family has different stories that brought them to us, but they are united
by their need for a helping hand to bring a child into the world. This can be
for many reasons; some parents have medical reasons for infertility, such as
illness or having undergone surgery that prevents them from naturally
conceiving. Many queer families also choose to build their family through
surrogacy, egg donation or a combination of both.




WHY TAKE THE INTENDED PARENTS SURROGACY JOURNEY WITH US?

With Extraordinary Conceptions, we always provide our intended parents with
unwavering support.

Here, we speak your language—literally. We have taken care to employ an
internationally multilingual staff from all over the world to help serve more
families. Many of our staff members also have personal experience with fertility
treatments, both as parents as well as donors or surrogates. We have many
resources for intended families to use, from mental health professionals (LMFT),
former IVF nurses, insurance specialists, travel coordinators and onsite
notaries, and we can connect you to fantastic third-party legal services.

Many intended parents choose to work with Extraordinary Conceptions because of
our S.A.F.E and Stress-Free programs. The former stands for Single Agency Fee
Experience, which means that if medically advised, you can match with a new
donor or surrogate in the case of an unsuccessful fertility cycle—at no
additional cost. We are the only agency in the country that offers this!
Furthermore, our Stress-Free program ensures that intended parents do not pay
their full fees upfront when matching with their surrogate or donor.

*Special Terms Apply

Most important? We treat everybody involved with respect and dignity—including
the amazing surrogate and/or donor who will be helping bring your baby into the
world. Everyone involved in this process deserves it. Our surrogates even
receive a two-year $750,000 life insurance policy, which is three times as much
as other agencies offer. For additional information about our services and
programs with premier surrogates, please email ceo@extraconceptions.com.


INTENDED PARENTS: HELP WITH CHOOSING AN EGG DONOR

With Extraordinary Conceptions, choosing an egg donor is straightforward and
exciting. Once you have completed your Intended Parents application, you will
have access to our entire egg donor database. We are proud to say that it is the
largest egg donor database in the nation! You can browse the database from your
own computer, so you can comfortably consider your options in your own time and
space. For more information, get in touch with our team—we are here to assist
you!




INTENDED PARENTS: HELP WITH CHOOSING A SURROGATE

Choosing a surrogate is easy with Extraordinary Conceptions!

If you’re ready to get started, your first step will be to submit an intended
parents application. Once you have registered with us, you will be able to
create your profile. Next, you can start searching for a surrogate who fits your
needs. When you have found someone who seems right, a meeting will be arranged,
and the excitement can really begin. If you have any questions about the
process, please reach out to our team. We are happy to help.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW LONG DOES THE SURROGATE PROCESS TAKE?

That depends. While some intended parents find a surrogate match right away,
others spend longer choosing the right one. Certain aspects of the process, like
medical screening and drafting a contract, will also depend on the individual
circumstances of both the surrogate and her intended parents. Location also
plays a major role in your surrogacy timeline. While our US, Mexico, Argentina
and Hybrid programs allow for families to jump right into the surrogate process,
that’s not the case everywhere.

Canadian surrogacy is altruistic, meaning surrogates do not receive compensation
from intended parents. This will likely mean lower fees for families but longer
waits.
For intended parents on a surrogate journey in Canada, a year-long waitlist
period is to be expected.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH A SURROGATE?

From matching to screening to drafting a legal document, the process of
surrogacy has many steps, each of them equally essential. Albeit complex, these
steps of the process have all been developed to protect everybody involved,
especially baby.

The surrogacy process will involve working with several professionals, including
attorneys, therapists and doctors. We know how critical it is to have a trusting
relationship with all of these professionals. That’s why we’ve spent years
developing close ties with many attorneys, family therapists and IVF doctors so
that our families can work with reputable professionals we trust completely. We
are always happy to make recommendations and put you in touch with the best.

WHAT’S THE SURROGATE PROCESS STEP BY STEP FOR INTENDED PARENTS?

To help you understand the surrogate process better, we’ve broken it down into
bullet points.

 * Registration. The first thing you should do is register with us as intended
   parent(s). This is also an excellent time to get in touch with our team and
   ask any specific questions you might have—we want to make sure you feel
   comfortable and well-informed.
 * Searching and matching with your surrogate. Once you’ve applied/registered,
   the matching process begins. When you’re ready, start browsing our database.
   Once you see a potential surrogate, our team facilitates a meeting for
   everyone to get to know each other. If everything goes well, it’s time to
   proceed!
 * The screening process.This portion of the process is for surrogates, not
   intended parents, but it’s good for intended parents to understand what goes
   on behind the scenes. The screening involves two main types of testing: a
   psychological evaluation by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and
   comprehensive medical screening. During this time, intended parents can
   prepare for the legal contracts portion of their process.
 * Legal contracts and birth plans.Following medical and psychological
   clearance, all parties work together with their respective lawyers to draft a
   legal contract. During this time, you will also develop a birth plan that
   suits all parties.
 * Timeline and medication schedule. Once the contract has been signed, it’s
   time for your surrogate to begin medication and monitoring. This preparatory
   time generally lasts around three weeks.
 * The embryo transfer.  Your IVF doctor will transfer the embryo. We will
   arrange and manage all travel itineraries for your surrogate and her
   companion if necessary. You may choose to be at the transfer—many intended
   parents do!
 * Pregnancy confirmation.  Two weeks after the embryo transfer, a beta blood
   test will determine whether your surrogate is pregnant. The first ultrasound
   appointment will be around four to five weeks after pregnancy is confirmed.
 * The big arrival.  Delivery day will depend on the birth plan drafted by
   everybody during the legal portion of the process and the health of the
   surrogate mother. Most often, the intended parents are right there supporting
   their surrogate and welcoming their baby to the world.

WHAT IS A SURROGATE MATCH?

At Extraordinary Conceptions, we wanted a comprehensive and straightforward way
for our Intended Parents to choose the best surrogate for their needs. It’s
crucial that intended parents are comfortable with their chosen surrogate and
vice versa!

When intended parents register with Extraordinary Conceptions, they are granted
24/7 access to our entire surrogate database. This database can be accessed from
anywhere (with a password) so families can search for a surrogate on their own
time, from the comfort of their own homes. This database is filled with detailed
profiles of keen surrogates all across the country who have all been interviewed
and selected by our team.

Once you’ve matched up with a surrogate, your next step will be screening. This
portion of the process mostly involves your surrogate—she will undergo medical
and psychological screening to triple-check that this journey is right for her.
During this time, you can sit back and relax. You’ll receive word soon that it’s
time to begin the legal drafting portion of your surrogacy. You’ll be one step
closer to the start of your parenting journey!

SHOULD INTENDED PARENTS LOOKING FOR A SURROGATE SEEK PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE?

Yes! Intended parents face a long and involved process when they embark on their
ART journey. There are major decisions to make, financial investments to
consider and legal requirements to fulfill. Furthermore, surrogacy is a fairly
complex experience, and many steps will vary depending on where you live and
your local legislature. Even in the most surrogate-friendly countries and
states/provinces, there are several crucial steps involved in the surrogate
process. While all of these regulations make complete sense and protect both you
and your coming child, they can be overwhelming to navigate on your own.

That’s where we come in.

Extraordinary Conceptions will streamline the entire process for you, from
matching with a surrogate and/or egg donor to ensuring a smooth experience until
the baby finally arrives.

Best of all? We’re fertility experts, and many of our team members have had
firsthand experience with surrogacy. We understand how emotional this process
can be, and that’s why we’re here to support you.

If you are ready to begin your family-building experience with us, please reach
out to our team so that we can walk you through the process from start to
finish. Thank you for trusting us to be part of this incredible journey with
you.
