Rest assured, if you’re an Intended Parent looking for a Surrogate in Maryland, Golden is the best surrogacy agency to help make that happen!

• Getting Started
  The first step in the process of finding a Surrogate in Maryland is to have an initial consultation with our team, during which you will discuss your preferences for a surrogate. A member of our Client Care Team will ask you questions about your background, family-building history/goals, and what surrogate preferences you expect in a match. This will help the agency narrow down potential surrogates that may be a good fit for you.

• Surrogate Recruiting
  Surrogate recruiting cycle begins! A custom matching timeline goal is assigned to your journey dependent upon the program you’ve selected, and any additional criteria for consideration. Surrogate candidates are recruited, interviewed, and screened to be your potential match.

• Matching
  After Golden has identified and fully pre-screened a potential Maryland Surrogate, your dedicated Care Team will help facilitate a Matching Conference call. Both parties must agree to move forward together and finalize a mutual match. Once official, Golden will notify your fertility clinic and an appointment will be set for the surrogate to meet your Reproductive Endocrinologist.

These are just some of the initial steps outlining what Intended Parents can expect when finding a Surrogate in Maryland. Please visit our comprehensive Surrogacy Timeline for a complete overview.

Golden Surrogacy finds the healthiest surrogates in Maryland. We have developed the industry-leading Enhanced Surrogate Criteria (ESC). Whereas all other programs throughout the United States recruit Maryland surrogates using a less selective set of health guidelines. These general guidelines originate from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). While the ASRM guidelines are a good starting point, they are not, in our view, the gold standard.

Intended Parents in Maryland deserve to match with the Healthiest Surrogates Available. Our proprietary Enhanced Surrogate Criteria lead to higher success rates, complication-free pregnancies, and healthier delivery outcomes.

Matching with a surrogate in Maryland can be a daunting process, but we’re ready to guide you every step of the way. First, it’s important for you to know that Maryland is considered a surrogacy-friendly state and it is legal for you to match with a surrogate in Maryland. Second, here you will find helpful advice for navigating the surrogate matching process with ease. It is our goal to ensure that Intended Parents and Surrogates have a successful family-building partnership as they embark upon a journey together.

Tip 1: Communication is Key
Having effective communication is essential for a successful surrogate match. It is important to convey your thoughts with a potential surrogate through open and honest dialogue. Make sure to be upfront about your expectations and requirements, while also carefully listening to the surrogate’s concerns and needs. Establish clear boundaries and set realistic goals for how often you will communicate throughout the surrogacy process.

Tip 2: Relationship Building
While effective communication is key to building a successful surrogacy journey, building a relationship with your surrogate is equally important. Doing so will make the entire experience pleasant and more fulfilling. Take the time to get to know your surrogate as a person and treat them with respect and gratitude. Show appreciation in a warm and genuine way for the sacrifices they will make to help you build your family.

Tip 3: Legal Considerations
It is important to discuss and agree on expectations surrounding termination and selective reduction. At Golden Surrogacy, we understand that everyone has different beliefs and values surrounding this topic. We want to help create a match where both parties share similar views on this important matter.

These are just a few of the many very important matching tips we provide. During the matching stage of your surrogacy journey, a member of your Care Team will guide you through an in-depth matching preparatory process. Here at Golden, we ensure all our Intended Parents feel well-informed and confident as they prepare to match with a surrogate.

If you’re an Intended Parent looking to find an egg donor in Maryland, Golden Surrogacy is here to help. Everyone’s path is unique to their own family-building experience and may look different. The good news is, there is no right or wrong way to approach egg donation.

Here are 3 tips for finding an egg donor in Maryland:

Tip 1: Consider the Source
Golden has a strong referral network of egg donation resources that specialize in finding egg donors in Maryland and throughout the United States. These providers typically have a database of pre-screened donors and can help guide you through that process. While Golden does not have its own in-house egg donation program, all the providers in our trusted referral network are industry best with stellar reputations.

Tip 2: Arrangement Type
There are three basic types of egg donation arrangements Intended Parents can choose when selecting an Egg Donor. These include Known, Semi-Known, and Anonymous. It is important to fully understand the pros and cons of each and then proceed accordingly.

Tip 3: Selection Criteria
Our advice is to break down your selection criteria for a Maryland Egg Donor into three categories. These include:

• Family Health History
• Physical Attributes
• Education

As you can see, there are several factors for Intended Parents to consider when selecting an Egg Donor in Maryland. Due to the complexity of this very important decision, we recommend scheduling a consultation with a member of our client care team today.
