From Complete Surrogacy Solutions! Another Australian Citizen is delivered!

Another Aussie Citizen welcomed.  We are happy to have played a part in the positive outcome for the Intended Parent and his gorgeous son, George!

We take a personalized approach for each Intended Parent, each program is geared towards the individual needs that our clients express to us during in depth first meetings and Skype calls.  Our involvement allows the Intended Parent to feel part of the process.  It is an honor to be part of this special  journey with you.

We return to India and Nepal next week for our continued growth and development and to arrange Skype calls and visits for each IP and their surrogate mother.  We also have a large group of clients starting their surrogacy processes.  It is rare to have an agent who personally travels with clients to begin cycles and to meet their surrogates.  We also are finalizing our convenience packages for clients to access during the exit process in Nepal.   Convenience is going to be key for an easier time managing the weeks spent in Kathmandu with your new baby or babies!

Assistants have been hired, drivers engaged, attorneys consulted, hotels and apartments negotiated.  It is an exciting time once again.   We welcome the opportunity to continue to develop and make the best programs available.  Each trip brings us new experiences and education and allows us to tailor the program to benefit the differing needs of as many Intended Parents as possible.

We work very hard, and are very proud to have assisted many parents throughout the past years.  It truly takes a village, and we are here to bring all moving parts together.

Complete Surrogacy Solutions - Another long awaited dream come true

We would like to welcome Miss Katia Sophia to our CSS Family.  Born on February 23, 2105 she is in our final group of arrivals in Bangkok.

Katia Sophia's parents started their surrogacy journey in Delhi, India.   It has been a very long journey to this point, but with a lot of patience, trust and faith, a dream has finally come true.    While surrogacy may be a very quick and smooth process, it sometimes takes a very long time and a lot of emotional and financial investment on the part of the Intended Parents.  These IPs are over the moon with joy and relief!

Congratulations to our newest parents, and to their beautiful daughter Katia Sophia.  We are celebrating with you!!!

Complete Surrogacy Solutions - Success Stories From Afar.

Over the past 3 years CSS has assisted in the arrivals of many many babies in multiple countries. CSS facilitates each step of the pregnancy with each Intended Parent, based on individual needs.   Intended Parents place tons of emotion, time, money, and research into this process, and we take our role as facilitators quite seriously.  We are a small boutique company and accept only a small amount of clients per year.  We do not provide medical services, however we provide logistics and support and assist with communication with your surrogate mother and your treating doctor.  As we do explain to each IP,  surrogacy abroad is a giant step, and is not without risks.  

Client's have written:

I know that a lot is moving and changing with surrogacy but I want to send my sincere wishes of success to those who are looking and trying.  Kim helped us set up surrogacy and because of her work we have a wonderful family. She was always up front about what we would face and always had advice for us when needed, far and beyond what the terms of our contract required. Thank you again Kim!http://clarelukeproject.blogspot.com

When I first considered surrogacy, my plan was to do it in India, but, unbeknownst to me, the week before I decided that I was ready, the situation changed.  India would no longer be an option for gay or single intended parents (I am both of those).  For a time, there was hope that the situation would reverse itself, but it did not.  While I was waiting to see how things would work out, I selected an egg donor.   Since I had a donor, but no clinic, I was referred to Kim. 

After talking with Kim, I decided that surrogacy in Bangkok was the best option.  Kim had much experience with the system in India, but she did not have any in Thailand.  She had visited Bangkok and had set up a plan, and I was to be her first client!  Maybe, I should have been anxious, but I knew from talking to her that I could trust her.  From the beginning of the process to the births to now, Kim has been there with me…worrying with me, calming me, and celebrating with me. 

The entire process in Bangkok went perfectly.  That is not to say that everything went exactly as anticipated, but Kim always had a plan B (and a plan C and a plan D).  In fact, the exit process went so smoothly that even the employees at the U.S. consulate were impressed.  More importantly, the pregnancy went perfectly, and I am now blessed to be father of two beautiful, healthy sons. 

To sum it up, Kim helped me create a family, and, in the process, I feel like she became a part it.

I am 30 years old and a single gay male.  I have always wanted a child but did not think it was possible given the costs of surrogacy in the United States.  Later, I heard of Indian Surrogacy on talk show and began researching.   From the beginning, it was obvious that Kim's heart was in this and she genuinely cared about what I was doing.  I feel like she is just as emotionally invested in my journey as I am.  In addition, Kim is personable, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive.  I have sent multiple emails to Kim and she has always responded quickly with thorough answers to my many questions.  She has the unique ability to lay any concerns to rest and to make what may seem to be a daunting process much more manageable and I do not know how I would survive this process without her.  Thanks Kim!!

My partner and I were in New Delhi, India in May to pick up our surrogate child.  Whilst there we dealt with on of our clinic's then customer service people, Kim Waters-Hendrix.  She was able to provide the much needed support and friendship during what is a very stressful time.  The baby pick up phase that we were there for was made that more difficult given the then recent changes to Indian laws in relation to gay and single parents and the visas that were required.  Without Kim being there the process would have been that much harder and more emotionally draining.  We regard her highly as a professional in this field and also now as a friend.  Her ability to understand our feelings and act appropriately was what not only made the process easier but allowed us to return home in only 13 days.

We can highly recommend Kim as a first class customer service representative, advocate and support base in the surrogacy  field.  Her service to us was above and beyond what we expected and superior to what we had previously experienced with other representatives.

We just returned home after the birth of our son in Thailand in December, we are thrilled with the outcome of a long year's process.  With the turmoil in Bangkok regarding surrogacy at the mid point of our pregnancy, we were very anxious and concerned.  We were relieved when Kim flew over at the last minute to assist her clients who were on the ground there and to make sure that all was well with our surrogate when the clinic we were working with had to temporarily shut its doors.   Kim Hendrix gave us the fastest replies, and as much information as she could throughout the entire process.  From start to finish, she was our partner, and became our friend.   We are beyond joy with our healthy son, and look forward to working with Kim and Complete Surrogacy Solutions on a sibling project in the next year in Nepal.

Successes continue with All IVF and Complete Surrogacy Solutions! Babies, pregnancies, and lots of love!

It's been a while since the last update on happenings at Complete Surrogacy Solutions and we have much news to share.   First, I attended and spoke at the Surrogacy Australia Conference in Melbourne in May and got to see many of my clients, past and present, and visit with my Aunt and Uncle and some wonderful friends who were with me for baby pick up of my twin nephews in India LAST April.   Australians are awesome and I feel lucky to have so many great friends and clients there.

The most amazing news is that we had our first twin birth on May 30th for an American client from Texas.  Miss P, our beautiful surrogate was amazing!  Scott and the twin boys are doing well, and they got to go home in under one month from birth!   The hospital and staff was incredible!  The exit process was smooth, and given that I understand the importance of organization and the necessary items that the US Embassy requires, both the ACS appointment and the DNA testing went off without a hitch!   We use an awesome DNA lab who has very fast turn around.

Next, June group - CSS had 10 people cycling for the Group cycle and for those using young Thai donors, all became pregnant on fresh transfer - more twins coming, and we had many pregnant using donors from Carrie at Eggspecting.com.  For fresh transfers with all IVF, a young Thai donor, and Dr. Pisit, we still stand at 100 percent on fresh cycle, and we're 90% successful on fresh cycle with Carrie's donors.   I still can't believe the great numbers we're seeing - Dr. P must be adding something special to his embryology lab.   I tend to think it's both a combo of skill and the positive energy that surrounds the clinic.

On to July, we have many babies coming this month!   We've had 2 sets of twins so far for daddies from Australia, and we've got more coming tomorrow (see blog Clare and Luke http://clarelukeproject.blogspot.com)  and then more at the end of the month!  Babies everywhere!  All are healthy and strong and were carried to 36 weeks, even Miss Phairin who scared me with active pre-term labor about 2 hours after I arrived in Bangkok in May! (The preterm labor was intense, but we were extremely lucky that the hospital was able to stop the labor, and then after a few days released the surrogate to bedrest under my care.   She stayed in the hotel room next to me for two weeks, then went to stay at surrogate housing for the remainder of her pregnancy).

In the middle of all of this, my family moved back to Miami, Florida.   Complete Surrogacy Solutions will be opening a new office here in the fall.  It's great to be back in the place where we can thrive and are so very happy.

Our clients in India with Dr. Bakshi are doing super well.  We have many babies coming from India as well. The "all inclusive" package that Dr. Bakshi allowed me to create is providing both success and peace of mind.

Our September group is almost full, we have 2 slots left, and we're starting on the November group with 3 clients already signed for that group.   It's a very exciting time for me, for my clients, and for the LGBT community to be able to have this opportunity for success with International Surrogacy.   I am proud to be part of this, it continues to amaze me every single day.

By the way, here's a snap of my darling nephews born through Surrogacy in India - I can't believe how big and how amazingly adorable they are!   The past year has been such a whirlwind!

Families Through Surrogacy Event - March 15th in San Francisco

Kim will be speaking at the Families Through Surrogacy event to be held on March 15th.  This is an opportunity for those interested in surrogacy, both domestically and internationally, to learn from experts and from Intended Parents both in the surrogacy process currently, and those who are parents through surrogacy.   We will be discussing all aspects of the process, with the goal of promoting the Educated Intended Parent.  http://www.familiesthrusurrogacy.com/global-conferences/us-conference#conf-schedule-us

In addition, Complete Surrogacy Solutions and Eggspecting, Inc. will be holding an information session on Sunday hosted by the group, www.gayfuturedads.org. Location and time to be announced shortly!

Surrogacy in Thailand - the boom is now!

The last few weeks have been quite a blur of activity in Thailand for those pursuing surrogacy.  The Israeli government's delay of entry for babies born created quite a stir in the International community.   As of right now, for the US Australia and the UK, it's business as usual.   The rules have always been the rules.  Everyone needs to understand that there might be some delays along the way, and to be sure to have the proper documents prepared and ready for the exit process.  Over document whenever you can.

All of my clients are prepared, and the last few weeks have been crazy with inquiries coming in to CSS from all over the world.  Unfortunately, some countries we just can't work with because of the laws in the home country which outright ban commercial surrogacy arrangements.

We are filling up quickly for our April cycle, and the June cycle is starting strong as well.  We also have lots of individual cycles starting in both India and Bangkok.

I'm asked "where next?" should surrogacy be banned in Thailand as in India for singles.   I wish I could have a good answer, because the other alternatives I'm seeing just do not make safe sense.   We have to remember that we are dealing with human lives, not material objects.  We have to keep rational thought about where it is medically safe for both the surrogate and the baby she carries.   Consider things like high level NICUs in case of prematurity, or complex medical situations for the surrogate herself -  some countries and areas are prohibitive to what constitutes a safe medical environment.  Don't take the cheapest easiest route in this, it usually leads to more money out of pocket.  Research and imagine yourself seeking medical treatment in the area in which you are considering surrogacy.  If you wouldn't feel safe having basic procedures done in a certain area, how can it be okay for a woman to give birth to your child there?
Just my thoughts as we forge ahead and look around for safe options for surrogacy.   I know that I have my own limits on where I'll lead people.  Some others just don't.  This is a big big picture journey.  Not a trip to Ikea.
