EDSI is a U.S. surrogacy agency supporting intended parents outside the United States who want to pursue gestational surrogacy in the U.S. Our coordinators work with surrogates nationwide and help intended parents organize surrogate matching, fertility clinic communication, insurance review, independent attorney coordination, an independent third-party bonded escrow provider, pregnancy updates, birth planning, and post-birth documentation.

International intended parents often need more than a surrogate match. They need one coordinated team helping organize embryo readiness, clinic communication, surrogate screening, insurance review, escrow setup, independent legal coordination, travel planning, birth preparation, and post-birth documentation.
EDSI helps international intended parents understand the major steps before matching begins, including embryo status, clinic requirements, estimated timing, insurance review, escrow setup, legal coordination, and travel planning.
EDSI works with qualified surrogates across the United States and focuses on compatibility, readiness, medical history, communication expectations, and clinic review before a match moves forward.
EDSI coordinates with fertility clinics, independent attorneys, insurance professionals, escrow providers, hospitals, and other qualified advisers so international intended parents are not managing each part of the journey separately.
International intended parents can often manage much of a U.S. surrogacy journey from abroad, but the process requires early planning. The most important questions involve embryo readiness, fertility clinic acceptance, independent legal guidance, insurance, escrow, travel timing, birth planning, and the requirements for returning home with the baby.
Confirm whether embryos are already created, where they are stored, and whether the receiving U.S. fertility clinic can review the records before matching begins.
The receiving fertility clinic may need medical records, testing results, consent forms, storage details, and transport documentation before approving a transfer plan.
International intended parents should work with independent attorneys familiar with the relevant U.S. state and qualified advisers in their home country.
Before moving forward, intended parents should understand insurance review, estimated surrogate-related costs, and how an independent third-party bonded escrow provider is used.
Parents should prepare early for hospital coordination, birth certificate steps, consular requirements, and the process of returning home with the baby.
International surrogacy requires clear coordination between the intended parents, surrogate, fertility clinic, independent attorneys, insurance professionals, escrow provider, hospital, and other qualified advisers. EDSI helps organize these moving parts so international intended parents are not left managing the journey alone from another country.
EDSI does not replace independent attorneys, clinics, escrow providers, or country-specific advisers. Our role is to coordinate the process, keep communication organized, and help intended parents understand what needs to happen next.
EDSI helps keep updates, next steps, documents, and timing organized across different professionals and time zones.
EDSI coordinates with fertility clinics, independent attorneys, insurance professionals, escrow providers, and hospitals throughout the journey.
EDSI helps intended parents prepare for matching, pregnancy updates, travel timing, hospital planning, and post-birth documentation.
Every international surrogacy journey has medical, legal, financial, insurance, travel, and birth-planning steps. EDSI helps intended parents understand the sequence, coordinate with the right professionals, and stay organized from early planning through the baby's birth and return-home process.
EDSI begins by learning about the intended parents' goals, embryo status, clinic relationship, timeline, budget expectations, location, and communication preferences.
Before matching moves forward, the fertility clinic may review embryo records, medical history, testing details, and any transport requirements for embryos created outside the United States.
EDSI helps identify a qualified surrogate based on medical history, readiness, location, communication expectations, clinic requirements, and overall compatibility with the intended parents.
EDSI completes preliminary review before the surrogate is submitted to the fertility clinic. The fertility clinic makes the final medical clearance decision.
EDSI helps coordinate insurance review, independent third-party bonded escrow setup, and introductions to independent attorneys who handle the legal agreement and parentage process.
After legal clearance and clinic approval, the fertility clinic manages the embryo transfer. EDSI helps keep communication organized during transfer, pregnancy updates, appointments, and key milestones.
As delivery approaches, EDSI helps coordinate communication around hospital planning, intended-parent travel timing, birth preferences, and the professionals involved in the parentage and documentation process.
After birth, EDSI helps intended parents stay organized while independent attorneys, hospitals, consular offices, and qualified advisers handle the required documents and return-home steps.

Usually, much of the process can be coordinated from abroad. Intended parents should still plan for travel around key stages, especially birth planning, hospital coordination, and post-birth documentation.
