Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
We had our first daughter 15 months ago through a GC. We are very familiar with all aspects of surrogacy - medical/legal/financial etc. We went through the entire process independently with no drama or glitches. Our surrogate has just had her own 5th child and is unable to work with us again, (otherwise she would love to and will act as a reference). Your compensation will be competitive. You must be in the Northeast tristate area. Our Doctors are in Connecticut (Trumbull/Yale New Haven). Please be motivated and ready to get started immediately. We have 8 healthy PGD tested embryos already frozen and just waiting for the right person. We expect to implant single embryos, unless we end up at the end of the embryo supply. • Have you had children in the past? If so, how many? Healthy births? Vaginal or C-section(s)? • How old are you? • Do you smoke? • Do you have any health issues? Do you take any medications? • Are you within a normal height/weight? • What would your fee expectations be? • Do you have health insurance? If yes, does it have a surrogacy exclusion?
