The legal process of surrogacy

Our process starts with the receipt of any kind of Parent Application Form or a Phone call and we precede it further with the help of our associated IVF Clinics and start with the discussions in relation to the various specific needs of our clients.

As per your specific requirements, we will then discuss your case with our partner clinic, surrogates, egg donors, and other major players. We also need to mention that here we treat every case as a special one and there would be instances where a particular service would be limited to your specific needs. You can go through the below guidelines in order to ascertain the whole process and let us know your feedback on the same.

Initial Contact

• Get the first Medical Opinion absolutely free from any of our Partner Clinics. (Your query will be responded to within 48 hours.)
  Once you make a decision to get on board with us, we then start the process of Locating & Screening an Egg Donor and a Surrogate as per your needs.
• Once this would start going through, Bangkok Surrogacy would be getting ready with all the agreements and contractual parts signed by all concerned parties. The process further includes creating Escrow accounts, arranging Insurance for the Surrogate, etc.
• The process would further include getting engaged with the IPs, Surrogates, Egg donors, and the clinic to establish a plan to co-ordinate your visit, Surrogate, and ED cycles.
• Bangkok surrogacy would then assign an English-speaking driver/guide to be with IPs during their entire stay in Bangkok. You will also get a dedicated vehicle at your service and should you wish to roam around for some sightseeing in the city, our travel agent would plan everything for you.
  You will get an airport pickup and we at Bangkok surrogacy would be taking care of you for the rest of the day.
• Once the IVF process is through and even during the pregnancy period, the IVF clinic will house the Surrogate in a purpose-built hostel to make sure that the Surrogate would reside in a clean and, stress-free environment. The Hostel would be having a dedicated Domestic helper and cook at her service throughout the day.
• Once the 2nd trimester arrives for the surrogate, the second installment in regard to her compensation then needs to be released. The same then needs to be followed by the 3rd and final payment before the start of the third and final trimester.
• During the whole process, we offer continuous support and guidance to both the IPs and the Surrogate mother. Other services include Coordination with the clinic, Immigration authorities while arranging for a passport or a VISA for the newborn.
• Even after the IPs leave the country, we always ensure putting up ways where they can return the favor to the Surrogate via different means and not let it be like that she has been used to deliver a baby only.
• We have also partnered with some Non Governmental organizations to provide adequate aid to the surrogate instead of providing her with the whole compensation amount (Please take note that these ‘arrangements’ are over and above the surrogate Compensation that will be made after the confirmation of pregnancy).
