FAQs
Getting You the Answers You Need.
Surrogacy is a big commitment, and it’s normal to have questions. Here are honest answers to the things potential surrogates ask us most.
What is the difference between Gestational Surrogacy and Traditional Surrogacy?
The main difference lies in genetics.
In Gestational Surrogacy (the only type Bornvia facilitates), the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby; she carries an embryo created via IVF using the Intended Parents' or donors' genetic material.
Traditional Surrogacy involves the surrogate using her own egg, meaning she is biologically related to the child. For legal and emotional clarity, our program focuses exclusively on gestational carriers.
How do I start the application process?
Getting started is simple. You can complete our initial online application in about 10 minutes. Once submitted, our team will review your details and reach out within 24 hours to discuss the next steps.
Why should I work with an agency instead of doing it independently?
An agency acts as your safety net and project manager. Independent surrogacy requires you to manage your own legal contracts, payment schedules, and medical coordination, which can be overwhelming.
At Bornvia, we connect you to vetted agencies to handle every logistical detail—from screening and matching to legal representation and counseling—so you can focus entirely on a healthy pregnancy while we handle any challenges that arise.
I submitted my application. What happens next?
After we receive your application, we will contact you within 1 business day. If you meet the initial criteria, you will get access to our secure Surrogate Portal. Here, you will complete the necessary intake forms, including your medical history, insurance details, and matching preferences. Once our team has reviewed your records, we will schedule a comprehensive screening call for you and your support person.
