Handpick Your Team: Select your legal and medical professionals independently.
- To select a clinic, you may want to review SART.org for clinic cycle statistic reports and FertilityIQ.com for clinic and physician reviews.
- Often, your clinic will guide you in selecting a mental health provider. Additional options can be found with this link.
- For attorney selection, we recommend perusing the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys.
Disadvantages of Independent Surrogacy:
- Coordinating Services: You are responsible for coordinating all services, which can be overwhelming.
- Hiring Professionals: While cost-effective, hiring professionals separately can add up.
