We believe Surrogacy is a wonderful way to build your family and are honored to be part of it. While Parenthood Options is committed to supporting our surrogates, it does not mean that we leave the parents in the dark. We are here to help guide you in the process and to ensure a smooth journey for all involved. We understand that the road you have been down has not been easy and we will do everything in our power to make this a wonderful experience.</div> <bR> <div> We specialize in making the right matches and encourage each party to get to know each other before agreeing to work together. If you want to spend a month or two getting to know your surrogate before moving forward, that's great. We also understand you may be anxious to get started, we can help there too. We have a range of surrogates available, some who want to take their time and get to know prospective parents and other who want to get started right away. What makes us different is we are here to custom tailor your match and to ensure each party is matched according to their wants and needs. </div> <bR> <div> We welcome traditional couples, same sex couples and singles. We work with people who are local, national or international.  We have opted to work with surrogates who reside only in the sate of California due to the favorable laws we have here and the ability to obtain pre-birth orders for couples and singles, including same sex couples.</div> <bR> <div> Parenthood Options keeps the number of surrogates and parents under 10 matches at all times to ensure each persons is offered unlimited support and the attention they deserve during this exciting time. With that being said, we are very selective as to who we take into the program for both surrogates and parents. We offer a very personal approach and would like to share that with surrogates and parents who welcome that. This is a very unique and exciting family building alternative that we are proud to be apart of and we look forward to working with people who believe the same.</div> <bR> <div> What we do:</div> <bR> <div> Act as a liaison between surrogate and parents</div> <div> Attend embryo transfers, births etc when invited and possible</div> <div> Attend initial face to face meeting between surrogate and parents</div> <div> Offer 24/7 availability for emergency support</div> <div> Locate and pre-screen surrogates, including a home visit or thorough reference check and background check</div> <div> Facilitation between all parties and doctors offices</div> <div> Referrals to surrogate friendly OB/Gyn's</div> <div> Locate, oversee and refer to appropriate legal staff</div> <div> Fund management and timely disbursement with monthly statements </div> <div> Online private support group for parents</div> <div> Travel and accommodation arrangements</div> <bR> <div> Intended Parents are required to undergo a background check and may have a psychological evaluation.</div> <bR> <div> If you are interested in the services of our agency or would like more information, please fill out the intended parent questionnaire.
