How Surrogacy Works in Maine
What to Expect During the Surrogacy Process
Becoming a surrogate is a big decision, but with the right support, it’s an incredibly rewarding one. Here’s how the surrogacy process works in Maine:
Apply Online – Complete our confidential surrogacy application. We’ll review it to see if you meet the basic requirements.
Screening & Matching – After we receive your surrogacy application and it seems like you are a good candidate, we will discuss your background, health history, and ask you to provide your prenatal and delivery records for review and approval. Once approved, we will offer a suitable intended parent match which meets your specifications and the medical screening phase begins.
Contracts – All parties sign agreements to protect rights and clarify responsibilities.
Medical Cycle – Fertility medications and embryo transfer appointments take place at a major, established fertility clinic in the United States.
Pregnancy & Support – Your prenatal care and delivery will take place near home in Maine with your own doctor. All medical costs are covered.
Delivery & Joy – You give the priceless gift of life. It’s an unforgettable, life-affirming experience.
Our team is highly responsive and always available to guide you through each step in the surrogacy journey. Northeast Assisted Fertility Group (NAFG) is not a medical provider and does not perform clinical procedures. Medical screenings and embryo transfers will usually occur at the intended parents’ IVF clinic, while prenatal care and delivery happen in your home state with your own medical providers.
