Application & Agreement

Weeks 2–4

Once you decide to move forward, you complete our intake form and we prepare your client agreement. Our attorney co-founder reviews every line with you in plain language before you sign. Every fee is itemized. Every expectation is written down.

Pregnancy & Updates

Months 2–9

Your surrogate lives in our surrogate home in Accra with resident medical staff. You receive same-day updates after every scan, monthly video calls, and access to your client portal. We know how hard the distance is — we've lived it.

Pre-Birth Legal Order

Month 5–7

Our attorney co-founder files your pre-birth parental order under Ghana's Act 1027 (2020), typically in the third trimester. This establishes you as the legal parents on your child's birth certificate before birth — one of our core differentiators.

Birth & First Days

Birth week

When labor begins, we notify you immediately. Most parents fly to Accra for the birth — we coordinate your travel. Our team is with your surrogate throughout. After birth we handle the Ghanaian birth certificate and registration.

Embassy Process & Homecoming

3–8 weeks post-birth

The embassy process: DNA testing, passport application, and homecoming. Timelines vary by country — US parents typically 3–5 weeks, UK and European parents 6–10 weeks. We support you until you board the plane with your baby.

Payment Structure: All packages use milestone-based payment plans tied to the milestones above — no large lump sum upfront. Every cost is itemized and reviewed by our attorney co-founder before you sign.
