Prior To Starting The Surrogacy treatment, the Intended Parents consult The Embassy Of their country To ensure they are able to get citizenship of their country for the baby.

We work with a reputable ICMR registered Third party Reproductive agency who Assist in the surrogate recruitment and the legal formalities.

There is also dedicated team of doctors, lawyers, paramedicals, social workers who would be a part of your journey through the the surrogacy program.

At present all the rules and regulations are followed according to the guidelines for the accreditation, Supervision, and Regulation of ART Clinics in India http://icmr.nic.in/art/art_clinics.htm set by the Indian council of medical education and research.

The surrogacy agreement

The intending parents enter in to a surrogacy contract with a surrogate mother and her husband if applicable.

Surrogacy agreements are prepared by an advocate. The contract is usually signed, in case of station patients when they visit Delhi and in cases when the sperm or the embryos are shipped to Delhi or there is a change of surrogate mother, the contract can be signed in the client’s home country provided they are witnessed by a notary public.

Birth Certificate

In case of single parent only the genetic mother or father can be on the surrogacy agreement and the baby’s birth certificate.

For couples, both parents names appear on the birth certificate provided one parent has a genetic link with the child. The Delhi municipal council issues birth certificates. It’s wise to have the birth certificate of the child be stamped with an apostle seal. The apostle seal is an internationally recognized seal and gives the birth certificate legal validity in countries outside India.

DNA Testing

International clients cannot use both an donor egg and and an donor sperm or a donor embryos with surrogacy, as a genetic link between the baby and at least one parent is required by the Embassies of most countries to grant citizenship and a passport to the baby. A genetic link is established through DNA testing of one parent and baby. This is a mandatory requirement for citizens of most countries.

Bringing the baby home

Babies born through surrogacy agreements are not given Indian citizenship by virtue of the fact they are born in India.

For assistance with the citizenship and passport applications, following are the requirements of the embassies:

• Signed copy of the surrogate contract.
• Baby’s birth certificate.
• Parents birth certificate.
• Pregnancy medical records.
• Signed statement by the surrogate mother and her husband waiving parental rights.
• Treatment summary.

Duration of stay in delhi after the birth of the child

It may take 2 weeks – 12 weeks, depending on the citizenship of the intending parents, and the embassy working schedule.

Whenever the couple/patient needs a surrogacy program to achieve parenthood, they come for an initial consultation which includes a through medical and physical examination.

Then the intending parents meet our registered third Party Reproductive agency and understand their terms and condition and once they have understood the prerequisites, then the surrogates are sent to the the doctor for medical screening. The initial non-medical screening done by the agency, as per the ICMR guidelines, which may take 5 working days minimum and would also depend on any specific the requirement of the intending parent.

The synchronization of the menstrual cycle between the surrogate and intending parents is via a birth control pill and may take 2-3 weeks. We however have a premium recruited surrogate program running where, screened surrogates are available to select from.

The care of the surrogate during the IVF prog, during the pregnancy including the antenatal medications, their stay, their delivery is via the third party agency. We are however aware of the obstetrician taking care of the surrogate during pregnancy.

Similar to as mentioned above expect that the donor screening as well needs to be done with surrogate screening. The screening guidelines here are as per the ICMR.
