Family Forward Surrogacy
Family Forward Surrogacy (FFS) was founded by a former Intended Parent (IP), now the mother of twins. We understand how difficult it can be to entrust the most important event in your life to someone you have only just met. We understand that some couples have already been through a difficult journey of IVF treatments and disappointments. FFS will always treat you with the utmost respect and compassion. At FFS we are committed to making your journey through surrogacy to parenthood as stressfree as possible. Gestational Surrogate Screening: Our team performs extensive background checks including FBI Fingerprint Background Checks and Child Protective Services screenings. We conduct in-home studies of the surrogate and her spouse or partner. We also require psychological evaluations of the Gestational Surrogate (and partner, if applicable), conducted by a mental health professional specializing in surrogacy and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). All reports are provided to the Intended Parents. Legal Security: The laws governing surrogacy differ greatly from state to state. FFS works hand-in-hand with a network of experienced ART attorneys to determine which states are appropriate for a particular client from a legal perspective. For example, some states are _surrogacy-friendly
