FAQs
-
How do we start the surrogacy process with ANU?
It begins with a free consultation where we learn about your goals, answer your questions, and guide you through the steps ahead. From there, we create a personalized plan to start your journey with confidence.
-
How are surrogates matched with intended parents?
We carefully match based on shared values, communication preferences, and expectations for the journey. A match is only confirmed when both you and the surrogate feel a genuine connection.
-
What are the costs involved?
Surrogacy in Canada is altruistic, meaning surrogates receive reimbursement for expenses but no payment beyond that. Costs vary depending on your journey, but typically include surrogate reimbursements, fertility treatments, legal fees, and agency support. We provide a clear breakdown early on so you can plan with confidence.
-
How long does it take to find a match?
Timelines vary based on your criteria and surrogate availability. Some matches happen quickly, while others take a few months. We focus on finding the right match, not just the fastest one.
-
What legal steps are involved?
Each province has specific laws for surrogacy, but in all cases, surrogates have no legal parental rights. We connect you with experienced fertility lawyers who will handle contracts and ensure your parentage is legally recognized.
-
Can international intended parents work with ANU?
Yes! We work with intended parents from around the world, guiding you through the Canadian surrogacy process and connecting you with legal experts to navigate international requirements.
