A question about surrogate mothers quietly stresses every OCI couple before they even say it- who is she going to be. The person carrying your baby, who you have never met, living thousands of miles away from your current home right now. This is not an easy trust to build – and it shouldn’t come down to just a checkbox in a spreadsheet.
At Ekmi Fertility, we know that matching with a surrogate is not a box you check so you can move on to the “real” part of the journey. It is the real part. Get this right, and all that comes after it seems confident.
What Matching Actually Involves
A rushed match brings stress in the future. A thoughtful one builds trust from day one. That said, here is what we actually look at before an intended parent even sees a surrogate mother:
- Full medical history & current health screening
- Psychological evaluation and counseling readiness
- Previous pregnancy history, where relevant
- You are going to be trained on surrogacy before you, too
- The ability to work with the particular medical protocol your fertility specialist recommends
We don’t consider this as just paperwork. Each surrogate mother we work with is a woman making an important decision about her own body and family. At Ekmi Fertility, respecting this is not an option. It determines how we match in the first place.
Why This Matters More for OCI Couples
Coming from abroad already involves managing the distance, time zones, and emotional weight of not being there during each step. Ideally, a surrogate who you know very well can act as your steady point of contact (with the assistance of an experienced surrogacy doctor) when you are unable to be in the room. Your communication is always clear and constant, not wondering how things are on the other side of the world.
Where Cost Fits into Matching
We know cost of surrogacy in India is often the first question and matching plays a real role here too. We build surrogacy packages that include matching and accounting for the medical screening and care coordination all along the way rather than as separate surprises later.
Hence, we offer you unlimited embryo transfer attempts within our guaranteed surrogacy program. This means matching is done for long term stability, not just a one-time transaction. Affordable surrogacy should be a transparent experience with advance planning, not a financial burden on top of an emotionally draining experience.
A Process Built on Patience, Not Pressure
We have sat with couples who were scared that asking questions about matching would sound challenging or demanding. It isn’t. Ask everything. Ask again if you need to. A good match is determined by the questions you’re willing to ask (and risk being the “difficult” person for asking them), not merely those you silently swallow. That is the level of care that we target to offer with each match.
