Administrative Staff: Our administrative staff coordinates between Surrogate, Intended Parents, doctors, psychologists, laboratories, hospitals and attorneys. (Doctors, psychologists, and attorneys are independent professionals.) Our skilled staff ensures that all necessary steps are taken and full documentation is in place prior to medical procedures. The Center obtains all necessary legal documents, monitors all aspects of the program, including disbursement of all expenses on behalf of the Intended Parents, and furnishes a full accounting to all parties. The Center encourages all of clients to stay in close contact with our offices during this process.
INFERTILITY SPECIALISTS: The Center works in conjunction with recognized infertility specialists who utilize advanced reproductive technologies. These specialists are independent of the Center. The Infertility Specialist examines and verifies that the Surrogate is healthy, fertile and capable of having a normal, healthy child. This medical examination is thorough, comprehensive and includes testing for venereal diseases, HIV, and other conditions which may affect the health of the child or the Surrogate Mother.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TEAM: The chief psychologist, Dr. Hilary Hanafin, is specifically trained and internationally recognized for her work in the field of Surrogacy and Adoption. Other members of the Psychological team include: Carol Wolfe, M.F.C.C., Donna Robertson, L.C.S.W., and Elaine Gordon, Ph.D.
Screening and counseling are provided to both Surrogate Mothers and Intended Parents. Candidates are comprehensively evaluated and tested. In addition, every Surrogate entering the program attends mandatory counseling sessions from initial screening through post-delivery. These sessions include both monthly group support meetings with other Surrogate Mothers and individual attention by the counselor. Group support sessions include new candidates, pregnant Surrogate Mother and post-delivery Surrogate Mothers.
LEGAL COUNSEL: The attorney represents the Intended Parents, negotiates and drafts the contract, and finalizes parental rights. The contract defines all parties' rights and responsibilities: contractual, financial and moral.
The staff at the Center is available to address your questions or concerns and welcomes all prospective parents calls.
