— The Single Embryo Program is designed for intended parents with one remaining embryo and no plans for future transfers. If the transfer doesn’t result in a pregnancy, a partial refund is provided.
Payment Timeline
We’ve simplified the payment process into three clear milestones, making it straightforward and budget-friendly. Our professional fee is divided across these payments and covers key services for legal support, escrow management, and mental health services. While we’ve partnered with preferred providers to streamline the process and simplify budgeting, intended parents are welcome to work with their own professionals, provided they are well-versed in third-party reproduction. Escrow setup and funding are handled directly through the escrow company, ensuring secure and transparent management of surrogate-related financial transactions.
