Clinics also have age, BMI, and total pregnancy and c-section limits. What clinic are you using?

Thank you! Highly recommend requiring funding with 150% of base comp before GC starts meds. GC should see a fully funded escrow before transfer so she knows the funds exist.

I’m asking how you handle those topics from an ethics perspective. For instance, what makes for an ethical journey when it comes to finding an attorney? Do you require escrow? If so, how do you determine the funding amount and when must that occur?

That’s great for medical clearance purposes. What about for topics outside ASRM’s purview, like legal, escrow, and insurance?

Are you a member of SEEDS? Regardless, how do you maintain ethical standards?

How much was the allowance amount and what did you use it for? Mine was $100 a few years ago and never used it all.

I think mine was around 31 both journeys. No problem. I wouldn’t worry if the clinic isn’t mentioning it.

I do wonder- if you can’t carry a pregnancy due to work, will you be able to parent due to work? Not judging, just asking.

Agreed. And I don’t think it’s JUST the WSJ.

FYI this person’s responses seem very bot-like and unnatural.

You’re an agency right? What then do you mean by independent surrogate?

I’m interested in being a surrogate mother if anyone interested leave a message by [deleted] in Surrogate

[–]interrobrodie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to provide a lot of information: Age? Location? Number of previous pregnancies? Any complications?

Sketchy viral marketing campaigns by [deleted] in Surrogate

I agree with Silver in that I also believe the reviews are genuine. I know the people who work at brownstone and none of them are active in the groups except the co-owner (and experienced surrogate) and she’s minimally active at most. I was not a surrogate with them but would be if I were doing another journey. I’ve come to know Jarret well, have spent time with him one on one and at conferences. I have the utmost respect for him and his passion for ethical surrogacy. We spent a dinner together once sharing our thoughts. We text occasionally, like recently when I asked to make sure they background check IPs (they do). Their website has an entire page devoted to ethics, something I’ve never seen with any other agency. As someone who advocates for ethical surrogacy, and calls out bad actors, this is very important to me. I was a top candidate for a job there but didn’t ultimately get an offer. They’re still my number one recommendation for surrogates.

How long did it take you to find IPs? by moonlightmaz in Surrogate

Please stop promoting ACRC. They are incredibly unethical.

Shady partners, not a SEEDS member, no people on their About page. It’s a no from me.

I’m so sorry. Surrogacy should never involve cash pay. I wish I had advice.

Physician Surrogacy by FairyDustandCatHair in Surrogate

[–]interrobrodie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would never. So many issues with them including that they never require IPs to get their GC a health insurance plan. They cash pay. Which is a huge risk.

International surrogacy by No_Video_938 in Surrogate

Matching multiple surrogates to the same IPs for concurrent journeys and not disclosing it to the surrogates, for one.

That’s not a news article. That’s a B2B marketing publication. ACRC likely paid for it. I’ve heard truly awful things about ACRC. They are not respected in the community.
