How Parham works with your family
Every journey with Parham Zar and the EDSI team begins with understanding your story. The process starts with a personalized consultation where your goals, medical history, legal needs, and emotional preferences are discussed in depth. Parham believes that each family deserves a plan designed around trust, clarity, and care.
Once your goals are defined, EDSI builds a clear roadmap using the Matching Compass™, a proprietary system that aligns intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors based on shared values, medical readiness, and legal compatibility. This stage also includes guidance on fertility clinic selection, psychological evaluations, and the creation of your family-building profile.
After a match is confirmed, Parham coordinates with your fertility clinic, attorneys, and support staff to ensure that medical screening, contracts, and transfer preparation move forward smoothly. Legal and medical milestones are carefully tracked with regular updates so you always know what to expect next.
When pregnancy begins, Parham continues to oversee communication between the surrogate, the parents, and the clinical team. He provides emotional and logistical support throughout the pregnancy and remains involved through delivery and post-birth arrangements.
Even after the baby arrives, Parham and the EDSI team stay connected to help with the transition home, birth certificate processing, and follow-up support. Families describe this continuity as one of the most meaningful parts of the experience—knowing that their guide is present from the very first meeting to the moment they hold their child.
Families often ask Parham how to begin their surrogacy or egg donation journey. He guides them step by step, from the first consultation through medical screening, legal agreements, and delivery.
