Everyone knows that a child born in the US immediately gets US citizenship and a passport,no matter the citizenship status of their intended parents
Due to regulatory restrictions, we can only mail sperm and blood to male clients from Hong Kong at this time. However, we can make arrangements for you to go to Hong Kong to donate sperm and blood whether you reside in mainland China, nations adjacent to Hong Kong, or HK Island. However, for you to be able to return to collect the baby after birth, we must verify that you possess a valid US visa.
At the absolute least, you will need to make two trips to the US: once to the IVF clinic to help create the embryos and again to bring the baby home. Feel free to come more often if you and your surrogate so choose. We provide a comprehensive concierge service to collect all required legal papers, including birth certificates, social security numbers, passports, and more, and then deliver your kid to your home if you cannot receive them.

However, this time frame is shortened or extended based on the specific legal requirements and the duration of the in vitro fertilization treatment.

Among the many forms of surrogacy, two stand out: gestational and conventional.
Traditional Surrogacy
When a surrogate uses sperm from a man or a donor in an artificial insemination (IVF) procedure because she carries the eggs, the surrogate is technically a blood relative of the child. Due to the genetic connection between the surrogate and the baby, there is a certain amount of risk associated with this older kind of surrogacy.
Gestational Surrogacy
This kind of surrogacy involves the intended parents or a third party's egg and sperm, as well as a donor's egg and sperm or even donated embryos, carried and delivered by the surrogate. Crucial to gestational surrogacy is the fact that the surrogate does not have any familial ties to the child and alone carries the pregnancy to term.
An arrangement where one couple (the intended parents) hires another (the surrogate) to carry and deliver their child is known as surrogacy.
Infertility, medical issues that prevent conception, and same-sex couples desiring a biological child are some of the reasons why people may choose surrogacy.
In most cases, the intended parents and surrogate will enter into a legally binding agreement while engaging in surrogacy. The surrogate uses the intended parents' genetic material or donated sperm and eggs and goes through medical treatments to get pregnant. Legally, the baby is passed to the intending parents once the surrogate gives birth bringing the pregnancy to term.
The two most common forms of surrogacy are gestational and traditional. In the conventional method of surrogacy, the intended father's or a donor's sperm fertilizes the surrogate's egg. In gestational surrogacy, we use the surrogate's uterus to implant the parents’ genetically engineered embryo or donors' DNA.
Even within the same nation, surrogacy regulations range from one state or area to another. Before proceeding, ensure you are familiar with the surrogacy laws in your area.
Surrogacy organizations or attorneys usually mediate the matching process between intended parents and surrogates. Various criteria, including personal preferences, medical history, and legal issues, are considered throughout the process to ensure compatibility.
Experiencing surrogacy is fraught with financial, legal, and emotional complications. You should know that there are hazards involved, including as the chance of a failed pregnancy, legal issues, and the financial burden.
Location, agency fees, and medical and legal fees are some variables that can significantly affect the total cost of surrogacy. The details are on our "cost" page.
Surrogacy could take anything from a few weeks to many months. Finding a surrogate, negotiating the necessary legal documents, and undergoing any necessary medical procedures can take many months. The total time required is anywhere from a year to two years.
Because we always have surrogates available to match, intended parents are never left waiting for a profile evaluation at OneWorld Generations.
At OneWorld Generations, we do not have intended parents wait for a profile to review since we always have available surrogates to match.
The surrogacy organizations that provide support, advice, and resources to both the intended parents and the surrogate provide the help that surrogates and intended parents need.
OneWorld Generations stands apart from the competition because to its innovative "No match, no fee" philosophy. So, we will only take payment from the surrogate once the prospective parents' IVF doctor has looked over her medical documents earlier. This strategy gives prospective parents a sense of security since they will not have to stress about paying money without seeing any profiles or finding a good match. At OneWorld Generations, we provide peace of mind to intended parents about their finances throughout the surrogacy process by maintaining a fair and open system.
