The Path

Your journey, step by step.

Budget, legal fit, and match readiness come before any timeline promise.

Matching speed, legal review, clinic scheduling & transfer timing all change by case.

First

Your budget, family type & state-law constraints come before profile browsing.

Next

Use the cost, financing & state-law pages to narrow the decision before matching.

Four stages, in order.

01
Clarify budget & family-building goals

Decide your realistic funds and what you need from the journey — budget, family type, timing expectations.

02
Confirm legal & state fit

State, clinic, and parentage plans change how fast the process moves and which steps matter first.

03
Match, screen & prepare

Matching depends on compatibility, medical readiness, and agreement on communication and logistics.

04
Legal, medical & pregnancy milestones

Contracts, clinic readiness, transfer, pregnancy, postpartum wrap-up — each milestone depends on your case, not a public clock.

Route your timing & legal-readiness questions

The profile-access quiz gives the team your case context before a coordinator call.

What to remember

A sequence of decisions — not a guaranteed schedule.

A realistic budget, a clear state-law check, and a clear view of what must happen before match, transfer, and delivery beat any generic "about a year" promise.
