Gestational Surrogacy
 Gestational surrogacy is generally defined as a process where pregnancy is achieved with in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer procedures. With this process, it is considered acceptable to use fresh sperm and eggs from low-risk patients who have been screened thoroughly. Eggs are first obtained from the patient or from an egg donor, and then placed into the womb of the synchronized gestational carrier.
We are experienced in helping patients to find suitable gestational carrier so there is no need to incur the additional expense of an "Agency." Very importantly, our center prides itself in high success with low complications. This has been possible, in part, through the use of prolonged embryo culture and blastocyst transfers. Please refer to the general IVF and blastocyst transfer information for more details.
Whats are the laws governing Gestational Surrogacy in Florida?
Florida has very favorable Surrogacy/ Gestational carrier statuates that reconize contracts between traditional surrogates, egg donors, sperm donors, and gestational carriers. Florida is one of only 2 states that has codified the birth certificate process, enabling couples to establish their parental status of the child without having a paternity or adoption process. This permits the couple within 3 business days of the birth of the child to petition for a birth certificate with their names as biological parents.
Please Note: The laws and ethical guidelines ruling gestational surrogacy vary from state to state and from country to country. Our advice is that you seek experienced legal counsel in this regard. Our experience in Florida has been excellent and if you are interested in becoming a surrogate, please contact us for more information.
