52 Can I talk to parents who have been through the process with Tammuz? Absolutely. We would be happy to put you in contact with parents who have been through the surrogacy journey with us. This will let you get familiar with the process and ask all the questions you’d like. Do I have to speak fluent English to go through the surrogacy process? The clinics we have longstanding relationships with are used to receiving future parents from all over the world, and they will be able to converse with you in English. In addition, keep in mind that most of the contracts and documents are in English (and there are translation services that can be hired). While the Colombia, Mexico, and Georgia plans are mediated by Tammuz and require minimum communication with the surrogate and various service providers, for the US surrogacy process, at least one of the future parents should speak English. How long does it take to complete the surrogacy process? This variable changes from plan to plan and from parent to parent, based on the changing circumstances and needs. In general, we can say that the average duration of the surrogacy process is about a year and a half to two years. Can we try for a twin birth? First and foremost, it’s important to know that a multiple-embryo pregnancy is high-risk and is not recommended. There are countries that have the option of transferring two embryos (US and Georgia), and there are countries where, due to the higher risk of premature births, transferring more than one embryo is not permitted (Colombia/Argentina and Mexico). Are there financing options for the process? Today, all banks offer loans with special conditions for the surrogacy process. Check with each bank. In addition, you can try fundraising on crowdfunding platforms.
