By leveraging advanced techniques like embryo transfer into the uterus, ART facilitates the realization of parenthood dreams.

Who can become Intended Parents?
The possibilities for becoming intended parents are vast and inclusive. Our answer is simple: almost anyone can embark on the journey to parenthood through surrogacy. Intended parents encompass a diverse spectrum of individuals and couples, including those facing infertility, same-sex couples, single individuals, and individuals confronting medical challenges.
Regardless of your circumstances, if you dream of starting or expanding your family, surrogacy may offer a viable path forward. Intended parents have the opportunity to pursue parenthood through various assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), surrogacy, or egg donation.
Can I become an Intended Parent if I do not struggle with infertility?
Yes, you can become an Intended Parent even if you do not struggle with infertility. Intended parents encompass a diverse group of individuals and couples. People who are single, in same-sex relationships, or face other circumstances may also become Intended Parents. Whether for personal choice, medical reasons, or other considerations, the path to parenthood is not limited solely to those experiencing infertility.
Differences between a Surrogate Agency vs the Independent Path.
To optimize surrogacy costs, some Intended Parents choose an independent path. In this approach, they assume full responsibility for managing every aspect, from selecting a surrogate to overseeing medical and legal procedures, including documentation for parental rights, with legal counsel.
Our experienced team, aligning with ASRM standards and rigorous protocols, identifies suitable surrogates and egg donors. We facilitate coordination among medical professionals, surrogates, egg donors, surrogacy attorneys, financial managers, and insurance agents. ACRC coordinates the entire gestation period, ensuring readiness for the baby's arrival while maintaining financial oversight of surrogate and medical accounts. Throughout the journey, we prioritize transparency, providing comprehensive updates to Intended Parents.
While independent routes may appear cost-efficient initially, unforeseen challenges like unsuccessful transfers or complications could result in unexpected expenses. ACRC's proficiency shields Intended Parents from such financial risks, optimizing the surrogacy process without compromising on thoroughness
