Welcome to the “What Sets Us Apart” series by Delivering Dreams, an international surrogacy agency devoted to ensuring the well-being and success of everyone involved in the surrogacy journey. This installment focuses on the compassionate and reliable care we provide for our surrogates. At Delivering Dreams, we believe that a content and secure surrogate is the cornerstone of a smooth, healthy pregnancy, ultimately leading to a joyful new family. Our commitment to surrogate care goes beyond standard practices and includes fair compensation, regular communication, emotional support, and tailored safety measures, even in challenging circumstances.
Below, we detail the advantages of partnering with Delivering Dreams, highlighting how we ensure our surrogates are treated with the respect, transparency, and assistance they deserve.
1. Surrogate Care as a Fundamental Principle
Delivering Dreams places surrogate well-being at the core of our surrogacy program. While many agencies focus primarily on Intended Parents, our philosophy is that a supportive environment for surrogates leads to healthier pregnancies and better outcomes for everyone involved.
Why This Matters:
• Holistic Wellbeing: When surrogates feel secure, their stress is reduced, which supports both emotional and physical health.
• Ethical Surrogacy: By emphasizing care and respect, we adhere to international guidelines and maintain an ethical surrogacy framework.
2. Fair and Timely Compensation
Surrogacy is a significant commitment - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Delivering Dreams ensures that all financial aspects are transparent, fair, and prompt. We provide clearly defined compensation packages so surrogates know precisely when and how they will be paid.
Why This Matters:
• Recognition of Effort: Proper compensation acknowledges the personal investment each surrogate makes.
• Financial Stability: Timely payments help remove uncertainty and allow surrogates to focus on a healthy lifestyle.
• Trust and Transparency: We discuss compensation and schedules upfront, creating a reliable framework for everyone.
3. Surrogates Are Not Exploited; They Are Well-Compensated and Cared For
We strongly oppose any form of surrogate exploitation. Our program is designed to protect surrogates from undue pressure and to foster a supportive setting. From initial screening through final contracts, every surrogate participates willingly, with a full understanding of her rights and responsibilities.
Why This Matters:
• Clear Ethical Standards: Delivering Dreams follows internationally recognized protocols to ensure surrogates are never coerced or misled.
• Genuine Care: Surrogates’ needs are carefully assessed, and we work with them only if their participation is entirely voluntary.
• Positive Community Reputation: Surrogates who feel respected are more likely to share positive experiences and refer others.
4. Comfortable Living Conditions with Emotional Support
A peaceful, nurturing environment can significantly boost a surrogate’s overall experience. Delivering Dreams verifies that each surrogate’s living conditions are comfortable and fosters a climate of emotional support throughout the process.
What This Entails
• Stable Housing: We confirm that surrogates have housing suitable for rest and relaxation, which is crucial for a safe pregnancy.
• Emotional Check-ins: We offer consistent communication, ensuring surrogates never feel isolated or overwhelmed.
5. Ensuring Surrogates Live in Safe Areas with Adequate Utilities
All of our surrogates reside in Ukraine. Even during wartime, Delivering Dreams carefully chooses smaller cities and regions far from conflict zones to ensure maximum safety. We also verify the reliability of utilities such as heat, water, and electricity, so that surrogates can maintain a steady daily routine.
Why This Matters:
• Security in Challenging Times: Safety is our top priority, and we minimize risk by placing surrogates in the most secure areas possible.
• Consistent Utilities: Having reliable power, water, and heating helps reduce stress and supports the surrogate’s health.
• Proactive Support: Our team stays in close contact with surrogates to monitor any changes in regional safety.
6. Daily Contact with Surrogates
Transparency and quick issue resolution are crucial for a smooth surrogacy journey. We set up dedicated Viber groups where Intended Parents, surrogates, and Delivering Dreams representatives can interact in real-time.
Why This Matters:
• Open Dialogue: Surrogates and Intended Parents can share ultrasound photos, ask questions, and receive answers.
• Emotional Connection: Intended Parents can directly encourage and support their surrogate.
• Fast Problem-Solving: Any concern - medical or otherwise - can be flagged and addressed without delay.
7. Transportation to and from Appointments Provided
To ensure surrogates never miss essential prenatal checkups, Delivering Dreams helps arrange and cover transportation costs. Whether they live in urban or more remote settings, surrogates always have a reliable way to reach their medical appointments on time.
What This Entails
• Scheduled Rides: We coordinate with surrogates in advance to confirm dates and times for each visit.
• Financial Support: Transportation expenses are covered by Delivering Dreams, easing potential burdens on surrogates.
• Continuous Care: Regular attendance at medical checks supports ongoing prenatal health.
8. Surrogates Receive Listening Devices to Play Recordings for the Baby
We provide surrogates with listening devices so they can play recordings - such as lullabies or messages from the Intended Parents - for the unborn baby. This early connection can help promote a sense of bonding between parents and children, even before birth.
Why This Matters:
• Personalized Experience: Parents can record special messages, music, or even stories for their future child.
• Calming Atmosphere: Gentle sounds can soothe both baby and surrogate, fostering relaxation.
• Emotional Bridge: Hearing familiar voices can help the baby recognize parents’ tones after birth.
9. Dopplers Provided to Surrogates for Recording and Sharing the Baby’s Heartbeat
In addition to listening devices, we give surrogates fetal Dopplers to check the baby’s heartbeat periodically. Surrogates can then send recordings to the Intended Parents, adding an extra layer of reassurance and emotional closeness.
What This Entails
• Heartbeat Updates: Surrogates can quickly monitor the baby’s heartbeat at home.
• Emotional Support: Parents feel more involved when they can hear their baby’s progress.
• Lasting Memories: These recordings can be treasured for years to come.
10. Assistance Relocating Surrogates if Safety or Medical Reasons Require It
Should a security threat or particular medical requirement arise, Delivering Dreams is ready to relocate surrogates to safer or more specialized regions. We remain vigilant regarding conditions on the ground to act swiftly when necessary.
Why This Matters:
• Emergency Preparedness: We consistently track regional safety and make decisions to protect surrogates in a timely manner.
• Access to Specialists: If specific care is needed, we arrange relocation to ensure the highest possible medical standards.
• Confidence and Protection: Surrogates know we stand by them, prepared to act rapidly to safeguard their wellbeing and that of the baby.
11. Contracts Designed to Limit Dangerous Behaviors for Surrogates
Delivering Dreams includes explicit guidelines within our surrogacy contracts to ensure surrogates avoid any behaviors or substances that could put the pregnancy at risk. We maintain ongoing communication to confirm compliance.
Why This Matters:
• Priority on Health: Avoiding harmful substances like alcohol or tobacco helps safeguard the baby’s well-being.
• Transparent Agreements: Both surrogates and Intended Parents understand and agree to these terms from the outset.
• Shared Responsibility: This contractual clarity underscores our collective commitment to a safe pregnancy.
12. Comprehensive Testing of Surrogates Before and During the Process
Before and throughout the pregnancy, Delivering Dreams provides thorough medical screenings for surrogates. By identifying potential issues early, we maximize the chances of a healthy outcome for both the surrogate and the baby.
Key Components:
1. Initial Screening: Physical exams, psychological evaluations, and background checks confirm each candidate’s readiness.
2. Regular Assessments: We monitor vital health indicators, such as blood pressure and hormone levels, ensuring optimal prenatal care.
3. Specialist Referrals: In more complex cases, we connect surrogates with experts (e.g., high-risk obstetricians) for targeted treatment.
Why This Matters:
• Early Detection: Prompt intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming more serious.
• Enhanced Success Rates: Consistent monitoring allows us to adapt quickly if unexpected challenges arise.
• Personalized Care: Each surrogate receives customized support based on her unique medical profile.
