成为 Surrogate 流程的第一步是完成 我们的 Surrogate 申请。初始Surrogate申请让我们能够收集有关您的一些信息，同时也帮助您判断自己是否是理想的Surrogate候选人。 您将回答有关以下方面的问题：
After completing the surrogate application, you'll be given access to our Surrogate Portal . After your application is received and reviewed, if approved, a Surrogate Advisor will reach out to you to meet you and answer your questions. Your medical records will be requested and reviewed. You'll work closely with your Surrogate Advisor until you are matched with intended parents.
申请流程的这些初始步骤将帮助您了解成为Surrogate需要具备哪些条件、Surrogate流程如何运作，以及您是否符合成为Surrogate的资格。
- 与持证心理健康专业人士的视频通话
- 与主要支持人通话
- 心理 screening
During the surrogacy consultation process, you'll have a video interview with a licensed mental health professional on our surrogate support team. This detailed call can last approximately 2-2 ½ hours, however you can break it up into 2 shorter meetings if that works better for your schedule. During your surrogacy consultation, we will conduct an in-depth interview with you, asking questions such as:
每位 Surrogate 都必须有一位 主要支持人（PSP） 陪伴她们共同经历这段旅程。PSP的职责多种多样，可能包括接送她往返各类预约、陪同她进行医学screening或embryo transfer、照看她的孩子，或者仅仅是在她需要情感支持时陪伴在她身边。
As you complete your surrogacy consultation and appear to be a strong surrogate candidate, you will complete psychological testing through the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) which is interpreted by a licensed psychologist.
所有 Surrogates 都将完成一项 三步 screening 流程 以确保他们适合 surrogacy 流程。
- 审阅 intended parent 匹配档案
- 与潜在匹配对象的视频通话
- 正式匹配成功！
Your Surrogate Advisor will support you in finding the right intended parent match. Surrogate matching criteria includes your preferences on the types of intended parents you’d like to work with, the number of embryos to transfer and your views on selective reduction and termination. Promise follows a thorough proprietary surrogate/parent MatchMade™ 匹配流程。
如果您在阅读intended parents的资料后有兴趣与其见面（并且他们在阅读您的资料后也有兴趣），Promise团队会安排一次视频通话，让双方正式见面，看看是否合适。在这次通话中，surrogates和intended parents会进一步相互了解，聊聊各自的家人和朋友，以及对surrogacy旅程的期望。这次视频通话没有固定脚本，Promise团队也不会参与其中。通话结束后，如果双方都感受到了联结，并希望继续推进，您可以告知Promise团队您愿意确认这次匹配。
- 在 IVF 诊所进行医学 screening（过夜行程）
- 与律师进行合同谈判并最终确定
您的医疗screening将在您intended parents的IVF诊所、由其医生进行。这通常需要在外过夜一晚，相关费用由您的intended parents承担。
以下是您在医学 screening 中可以期待的内容：
You’ll also be working closely with your legal counsel finalizing your Carrier Agreement (contract) . This will be completed with your intended parents’ lawyer. Your contract will outline all aspects of the surrogacy journey, including number of transfers, compensation, parental rights and more.
- 开始用药
- 参加当地监测预约
- Embryo transfer（3–7 天行程）
在此阶段，您将开始您的 Surrogate 用药 并开始参加本地的监测预约。这些预约将安排在您居住地附近的诊所进行（而非intended parents（IPs）的IVF诊所）。监测预约包括血液检查和超声检查，以确保您的身体对生育药物反应良好。
When the doctor has determined that your body is ready, you will travel for the embryo transfer. This is usually a 3-7 day trip with a travel companion to your intended parents’ IVF clinic . The embryo transfer itself is relatively quick, and the doctor will give you protocols following the transfer. Many intended parents will attend the embryo transfer if they can, and spend time in person with their surrogate.
- 在当地诊所进行 Beta 检测
- 常规医生预约
- 加深关系并与 IP 共同分享妊娠过程
After you return home from the embryo transfer, you’ll continue with appointments at your local monitoring clinic for beta tests (blood tests). These visits are to ensure that the pregnancy is progressing as it should. The first test is usually 10 days after the embryo transfer. Provided you have positive beta tests, you'll have an ultrasound at the monitoring clinic around 6 weeks for a confirmation of heartbeat(s). This is when Promise considers you officially pregnant!
大约在孕期第10周，您的护理将转由您的OB/GYN负责，直至分娩。在这段时间里，您可以进一步加深与intended parents的关系；我们建议您与他们保持至少每周一次的联系，向他们通报最新情况、分享照片，并进一步相互了解。您将按时进行常规产检，转眼间分娩日就会到来，您将亲眼见证intended parents第一次见到自己宝宝的珍贵时刻！
- 与您的 intended parents 及其宝宝道别
- 让您的身体得以康复
- 适应“正常”生活
- 与家人共度时光
- 回味您所成就的这件事有多么了不起
第四孕期（产后阶段）可能充满各种情绪——兴奋、伤感、自豪和空虚，这只是其中几种。在您适应surrogacy之后的生活时，这些情绪都是正常的。如果您愿意，我们鼓励您在intended parents及宝宝仍在您附近时，与他们相处一段时间。告别可能并不容易，但请记住，这不必是永远的告别。我们的许多Surrogate和intended parents在孩子出生后仍会继续保持友谊；您会找到最适合自己的关系模式。
