What to Expect as a Surrogate in Massachusetts
At NW Surrogacy Center, we walk you step-by-step through how to become a surrogate in Massachusetts. Here is what you can expect:
1. Initial application
Simply complete our brief, online surrogate interest form. It’s the only step you’ll take alone!
2. Screening
We will call you and set up a Zoom appointment to answer all of your questions and explain the process. Our surrogate screening includes a background check, pregnancy record review, and psychological evaluation. We want to make sure you are ready for the journey ahead!
3. Matching
Our surrogates are matched only with intended parents who hold similar values. Ultimately, it is your choice which family you assist.
4. Legal counsel
Our experienced attorneys draw up contracts that protect your rights while navigating Massachusetts surrogacy laws.
5. Undergo additional screening and sign contract
We will connect you with the fertility clinic team to complete your medical screening including lab work for you and your partner and an ultrasound at the fertility clinic for you. Your case manager will make all the travel arrangements. Around this time we will provide you with a draft surrogacy contract. You and the intended parents will review the document with separate attorneys, reach an agreement, and sign the contract. At this time you will begin receiving a $300 monthly allowance, and you will be invited to join our private NWSC Surrogate Facebook group. We also host meetups for our surrogates! It’s a great place to swap stories, share experiences, ask questions and meet other surrogates. Details here.
6. Begin the medication cycle
Once the contract is signed and the intended parents have safely placed money for your compensation and expenses in an account with us, we will send a letter to the fertility clinic giving them clearance to begin the IVF cycle. You will start your full IVF cycle, which involves taking medications starting about six weeks before the embryo transfer and continuing about eight weeks into the pregnancy. The clinic will give you lots of instructions and tips!
7. Medical prep and embryo transfer
You’ll take IVF medications to prepare for the embryo transfer at an IVF clinic in the U.S. You will travel to the clinic twice and NWSC will make all the arrangements
8. Pregnancy
You’ll receive personalized support emotionally, psychologically, legally, and logistically, along with significant monetary compensation. Our private surrogate community and agency staff, as well as the intended parents, will be in close communication with you.
9. Delivery
The doula of your choice can assist you throughout the delivery. When the baby goes home with their new parents, we remain focused on you as you rest and heal.
