Getting Started
A private consultation to understand your goals, fertility history, and program options.
Building a family through surrogacy involves several carefully coordinated steps—from fertility preparation and surrogate matching to pregnancy care and birth planning.
Sovereign Surrogacy guides intended parents through each stage with thoughtful coordination and trusted expertise.
For many intended parents, the surrogacy journey begins with questions.
At Sovereign Surrogacy, we help families navigate this journey step by step. Our program coordinates the medical, legal, and logistical elements of surrogacy so that intended parents always understand what comes next.
While every journey is unique, most surrogacy journeys in the United States follow a similar path—from early consultation and fertility preparation to surrogate matching, pregnancy coordination, and welcoming your baby.

This step allows intended parents to understand the process ahead and begin planning the next stage of their journey.
Before a surrogate pregnancy can begin, embryos must be prepared through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Intended parents may already have embryos stored at a fertility clinic, or they may begin IVF treatment as part of their surrogacy journey.
Embryos may be created through IVF before the surrogate pregnancy process can move forward.
Some intended parents may use donor programs as part of the embryo creation process.
Screening technologies may help fertility specialists evaluate embryo health before transfer.
Once embryos are ready, clinics prepare for the next stage of the surrogacy journey.
Medical, psychological, and background evaluations completed before approval.
Intended parents review detailed surrogate profiles and background information.
Opportunity to meet and ensure both sides feel aligned and comfortable.
Matching intended parents with a surrogate is one of the most meaningful steps of the journey.
Every surrogate in the Sovereign Surrogacy program undergoes medical screening, psychological evaluation, and background verification before being presented to intended parents.
During the matching process, intended parents review surrogate profiles and have the opportunity to meet the surrogate before moving forward.
