There is no right answer but discovering what is best for each individual circumstance takes much consideration. We are here to help you discover the best arrangement which may mean in some instances, the intended parents and surrogate may agree to part ways permanently. In others, everyone may collectively decide to remain in contact either through our assistance or on their own.
