Parent Journey Guide
Choosing the path of surrogacy or egg donation to build your family is a deeply meaningful decision. At American Beginnings Consortium, we are here to guide you every step of the way, making the process clear, compassionate, and tailored to your needs.
Step 1: Complete the Assessment Form
Your journey begins with our Assessment. This helps us understand your family-building goals, preferences, and unique circumstances.
Tip: Take your time when completing the assessment. The more detail you share, the better we can match you with the right surrogate or donor and provide the support you truly need.
Step 2: Welcome Email & Initial Review
Once your assessment is submitted, you’ll receive a welcome email with next steps. Our team will review your information and connect with you to begin shaping your personalized journey.
Step 3: Consultation & Planning
You’ll meet with a case coordinator to discuss your goals, timeline, and preferences. Together, we’ll design a plan that considers both surrogacy and egg donation options, if needed.
Tip: Be open about your hopes and any concerns. This is your opportunity to ask questions and gain clarity about the journey ahead.
Step 4: Matching with Surrogates or Donors
We carefully match you with surrogates and/or donors based on compatibility, medical requirements, and personal preferences. You’ll have the chance to connect before moving forward.
Step 5: Legal Agreements
Specialized reproductive attorneys will draft agreements to protect your rights, define responsibilities, and provide peace of mind. You’ll have your own attorney to guide you through the process.
Step 6: Medical Process
Depending on your path, this stage may include IVF, embryo transfer, or donor coordination. Our trusted fertility partners will manage all medical aspects, while our coordinators provide ongoing guidance.
Tip: Medical processes can sometimes feel overwhelming—lean on your coordinator and our support team for reassurance and clarity.
Step 7: Pregnancy & Ongoing Support
Once pregnancy is achieved, you’ll receive regular updates, emotional support, and coordination with your surrogate. Our team ensures that the journey remains smooth and positive for everyone involved.
Step 8: Birth & Parentage
When your child is born, legal steps secure your parentage. Our team will be there to guide you through this moment and ensure everything is handled with care.
Step 9: Post-Birth & Continued Support
Your journey doesn’t end at birth. We continue to provide resources, guidance, and community support as you transition into parenthood and beyond.
Final Note
Building your family through surrogacy or egg donation is a journey of hope and resilience. We are here to make sure you feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.
