Sacramento Surrogacy Attorneys
Every intended parent and gestational carrier pursuing surrogacy in Sacramento, CA, will need to work with an individual attorney. These legal professionals ensure that your individual rights and interests are protected throughout the process.
Your Sacramento surrogacy attorney will evaluate your surrogacy path to ensure it is a safe and legal one, and he or she will draft a contract that outlines your entire upcoming journey. These attorneys also ensure that intended parents’ rights are properly established according to California surrogacy laws.
When you work with American Surrogacy, our specialists can always provide references to local Sacramento surrogacy attorneys. The final decision will always be up to you.
Here are a few attorneys in the area that you might work with.
Keep in mind: If you are a California intended parent who matches with an out-of-state surrogate, you will need to use a local attorney in her state to continue with your surrogacy.
Sacramento Surrogacy Clinics
Another professional you’ll need in your Sacramento surrogacy journey is a surrogacy clinic (also known as a fertility clinic). This clinic will be responsible for the non-traditional “conception” method that gestational surrogacy requires. Be prepared for a few medical steps to safely create a gestational pregnancy.
First, both intended parents and a gestational carrier must be psychologically and medically screened by a clinic. Then, the prospective surrogate will receive a personalized schedule of fertility medication to prepare her body for the eventual embryo transfer. When a reproductive endocrinologist approves, she will undergo the quick and relatively painless procedure.
Many intended parents who come to the surrogacy process already have an existing relationship with a fertility clinic. You can certainly use that clinic in your Sacramento surrogacy journey, but you will have to cover your surrogate’s travel costs if the clinic is not located near her.
If you don’t have a clinic in mind when starting the surrogacy journey, that’s okay. There are a few local clinics you can work with:
- California IVF Fertility Center
- Northern California Fertility Medical Center
- Kaiser Permanente Center for Reproductive Health
- Pacific Fertility Center
- USCF Center for Reproductive Health
Prenatal Care and Delivery Professionals for Your Sacramento Surrogacy
If you are a gestational carrier, your travel costs will be covered when you undergo the embryo transfer process at the intended parents’ chosen fertility clinic. Once you are pregnant, though, you will be able to receive prenatal care for your Sacramento surrogacy from a local obstetrician of your choice. Remember: Your medical costs will always be covered as part of your surrogate compensation package.
You will also choose a local hospital at which to deliver. Your intended parents and you will create a delivery plan for this final step in the process; they will likely even be present for their baby’s birth! Your surrogacy specialist will help you all create your delivery plan and will support you through every step of the process.
Have a local Sacramento OBGYN in mind? You can certainly work with them, if you desire. If you don’t have a local obstetrician, you can always choose from some of these area professionals:
