Their purpose is to guide you on your journey to meeting long awaited and much loved baby/babies as an informed and knowledgeable team, together.

We recommend starting your sessions after the 20 week scan, but you should book them anytime from 12 weeks of the pregnancy so that they are set in your diaries. As soon as you book your session dates you will gain access to the online Surrogacy Hub for the whole team to benefit from ongoing support.
