Finding a surrogate in Nevada marks a significant milestone in your journey toward parenthood. When embarking on this endeavor, several crucial factors must be considered, requiring careful deliberation.
During the surrogate matching process, intended parents review profiles of potential surrogates, considering factors such as personality, values, and preferences. Then, they meet with prospective surrogates to discuss expectations, boundaries, and goals for the surrogacy journey. Assessing compatibility between intended parents and surrogates ensures mutual understanding and agreement on important aspects of the surrogacy process. Once a match is made, legal professionals draft comprehensive surrogacy contracts outlining rights, responsibilities, and expectations for all parties involved.
In Nevada, opting for an egg donor in surrogacy introduces an additional layer to the process. However, state laws explicitly state that donors are not legally recognized as parents of children born from their donated gametes used in assisted reproduction. GSHC serves as both a surrogacy and egg donor agency, facilitating connections between intended parents and egg donors across Nevada, encompassing areas like Las Vegas, Reno, and many other local communities. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive support and guidance for individuals or couples embarking on the journey of assisted reproduction.

Step 3. Making a MatchThe two paths of intended parents and surrogates become fully converged at the matching step. This is the pivotal moment when the intended parents select a surrogate, and the surrogate agrees to carry a child for them. After this point, both parties are equally invested in the surrogacy journey, working together towards the shared goal of bringing a child into the world. They collaborate on legal contracts, undergo medical procedures, support each other throughout the pregnancy, and celebrate the birth of the child together. This marks the beginning of their unified journey towards parenthood. | |
Step 4. Legal ContractsThe intended parents and surrogate work with separate attorneys to draft and sign legal contracts outlining the rights, responsibilities, and expectations. | |
Step. 5 Medical ProceduresThe intended parents undergo fertility treatments to create embryos, which are then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. In some cases, donor eggs and/or sperm may be used to create the embryos. Meanwhile, the surrogate undergoes medical evaluations and hormone treatment to prepare their bodies for embryo transfer. | |
Step 6. Prenatal CareThroughout the pregnancy, surrogates undergo regular prenatal appointments and medical check-ups to monitor both their health and the health of the developing baby. These appointments typically involve various screenings, ultrasounds, and tests to ensure that the pregnancy is progressing as expected. Surrogates receive comprehensive medical care from obstetricians or maternal-fetal medicine specialists who specialize in high-risk pregnancies, ensuring that any potential complications are identified and addressed promptly. Additionally, surrogates may be required to follow specific dietary and lifestyle guidelines to optimize their health and support the growth and development of the baby.Throughout this process, intended parents play a crucial role in providing emotional support and encouragement to the surrogate, attending appointments when possible, and staying informed about the progress of the pregnancy. Open communication between intended parents and the surrogate is essential during prenatal care, fostering trust and collaboration as they work together towards the shared goal of bringing a healthy baby into the world. | |
Step 7. BirthAs the pregnancy approaches full term, the surrogate prepares for childbirth, supported by both medical professionals and the intended parents. When labor begins, the surrogate is admitted to the hospital or birthing center, where she receives specialized care from obstetricians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. Intended parents are often present during labor and delivery, providing emotional support to the surrogate and sharing in the anticipation of the baby’s arrival.Depending on the agreed-upon birth plan, the surrogate may undergo a vaginal delivery or a planned cesarean section. Throughout the birthing process, the surrogate’s well-being and comfort are prioritized, with medical interventions implemented as necessary to ensure a safe and positive birth experience for both the surrogate and the baby. | |
Step 8. Parental Rights & Post-Delivery SupportThe intended parents obtain legal parental rights through court proceedings, ensuring the child’s legal status within the family. They continue to provide support to the surrogate as she recovers from childbirth. | |
Step 9. An Exciting New ChapterWith the birth of their child, intended parents embark on an exciting new chapter filled with love, joy, and endless possibilities. While the surrogacy journey may officially conclude with the arrival of the baby, the relationships forged between the intended parents and the surrogates may endure for years to come. From the outset of the surrogacy agreement, details regarding post-birth relationships are carefully discussed and agreed upon, ensuring that all parties are aligned in their expectations and preferences.As they navigate the joys and responsibilities of parenthood, intended parents and surrogates continue to celebrate the profound impact of surrogacy on their lives, forever connected by the miracle of birth and the enduring bonds of family. | |
For the contract to be completed under Nevada law, any one of the following conditions must be met:
