April“I truly love being pregnant and wanted to help other couples, who were faced with obstacles, start a family. When you see how much love parents have for their newborn it makes the experi-ence so satisfying. I am grateful to be part of that miracle.”

Jade“I appreciate alternative ways to have children and create families. After I gave birth, I began thinking about couples facing infertility is-sues and wanted to help. Just the thought of delivering that kind of happiness to a couple in need brought a smile to my face. I knew becoming a surrogate was for me!”

Michelle“My favorite surrogacy moment thus far was receiving an email from my intended parents after informing them that the trans-fer was a success. Their words of gratitude filled my heart with joy and confirmed why I chose to go on this journey with them.”

Jenn“Surrogacy has changed my life in so many ways and has afforded me so many opportu-nities and so many new friends. I am forever grateful to surro-gacy, way beyond the children I have carried and families I have helped create.”

Carmela“Being a surrogate has opened up my world in so many ways. I’ve helped expand families and have made many great friends. As a surrogate it has been very benefi-cial to have that supportive com-munity by my side. Having a group of women that understand your journey is priceless.”

Meredith “I have met many wonderful people who have been an amaz-ing surrogacy support system. These women are caring, giving, strong and just really awesome people.”

Welcome to How Men Have Babies.

Congratulations on taking your first steps to joining our team as an Intended Parent. Let’s start with the good news. The vast majority of Intended Parents that want to conceive a child through Surrogacy succeed and the Surrogates that help them are empowered by the experience.

Having a successful journey is not a mistake! A successful Surrogacy journey begins with a strong professional team as their foundation. Teams work best when they are working together in pursuit of a clear and compelling vision. Synergy is the next working component of the team. This occurs when two or more groups participate with others, and the result is greater than the sum of the individual capabilities.

Finally, with a strong foundation, a clear and com-pelling vision, and synergy, the final component of trust becomes the residue of your teams Success. When you have these five components combined together, your Surrogacy Team will all be on the same page producing trust.

Your Success is not by chance. It’s Planned!

THIRD PARTY REPRODUCTION For women and men who are unable to use their own eggs

or sperm, those who want to parent without a partner and same sex couples, pregnancy may be achieved using donor eggs, donor sperm and/or a gestational carrier (GC) who will carry the baby to term for the intended parent(s). Certain ge-netic conditions may also necessitate using a third party.

Every patients circumstances are unique and require a varying level of oversight and sensitivity- which is why we have assembled a team of professionals specializing in third

party reproduction. Our staff understands the complex nature of these assisted reproductive therapies and is prepared to patiently walk you, your partner and your donor/GC through this process.

The Fertility Center of Las Vegos works with agencies that provide careful screening and uphold strict criteria for egg and sperm donation and gestational carriers.This is to ensure the highest medical safety and also protects future parents from potential legal complications.

LGBT Parenting We understand that single, gay, lesbian and transgender patients often

endure social challenges in association with their pursuit of having a child. The Fertility Center of Las Vegas is dedicated to facilitating greater ease and comfort on your journey to parenthood. Available services include Donor Sperm Insemination, Donor Sperm IVF, Donor Egg and Gestational Carriers as welt as other individualized options.

Donor Sperm Insemination/DMFor single female patients, lesbian couples or heterosexual couples with

male-factor infertility, a sperm donor can be selected through a sperm bank or known donor. We will assist you with the process of obtaining donor sperm and can help arrange for shipment and storage of the specimen prior to

treatment. Patients also have the option to use a known sperm donor. Once the donor sperm is obtained it will then be used in an insemination (IUI) cycle or with an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle.

IVF with Egg Donor & Gestational Carrier (GC)A Gestational Carrier is a woman who agrees to carry a baby through a

pregnancy for an individual or couple. She only provides a host uterus for the baby but does not contribute genetic material. The embryo is created using an egg from a female intended parent or an egg donor which is fertilized by sperm provided by a male partner or a sperm donor. IVF with Donor Egg & Gestational Carrier can be performed for a variety of individuals including: Single Female, Lesbian, Gay and Heterosexual Couple patients.

SCIENCE. SAFETY. SUCCESS.

Third Party Reproduction refers to the use of eggs, sperm, embryos, or a uterus that have been donated or provided by a third person(s) to enable an individual (intended parent) or couple to become parents.

I am a mother of three beautiful children; Lay-lah (10), Amayah (9) and Asyaiah (7). My husband, Lorenzo, and I have been married for 11 years. He has served in the Military for a decade. Although being a military family comes with challenges, it has also made us stronger. For us, becoming par-ents was our dream come true and we completed our family at a young age. I truly love being preg-nant and wanted to help other couples, who were faced with obstacles, start a family.

My first journey began five years ago. I met the intended parents; we instantly connected and were excited to get started. Soon after, I found out I was pregnant with a baby girl. In December of 2008 their beautiful healthy baby was born. When you see how much love parents have for their newborn it makes the experience so satisfying. I am grateful to be part of that miracle.

My second surrogacy journey was an experi-

ence full of love but also loss. For this journey I decided to help a gay couple start a family. After meeting the dad’s we were all excited to move forward. We implanted one embryo and five days later got the positive results. I was pregnant! Both dads flew to my hometown for the big gender re-veal. I knew the gender, because of a previous ul-trasound so I made them a cake and inside it was the color blue for a baby boy. We cut the cake and the dad’s found the exciting “color” announcing their son! The due date approached fast and that summer their healthy baby was born.

I went into my second surrogacy thinking we may do a sibling project, meaning I would help them have another baby. But a year ago we heard some devastating news. The biological fa-ther found out he had brain cancer. He was strong and fought hard, but lost his battle in March of 2013. The last year was really hard for us all.

Even though I had only known him for a little more than two years it was like losing a family member. It breaks my heart to say that cancer took his life but it did not take away all of the love we have for him. Before he got sick one of his goals was to start a surrogacy agency and help others find the joy that he and his partner found through the process. He knew I had always wanted to work for an agency as well. I wanted to not only be a sur-rogate but I be able to connect others and help them on their path of becoming parents. I recently was hired to to work for Expect Miracles. This is another dream come true because I am not only doing this for me but for the amazing man we lost. I hope he is proud of me for achieving this goal. I love getting the chance to show that surrogacy is a very positive experience. It is my passion. I am here to help others and be the best mom, wife, friend and surrogate I can be.

THE GREATEST GIFTBeginning a new chapter or taking a journey down a different path can open you up to new adventures. That experience may also introduce you to special people who become a significant part of your future. April Chavez, 31, opened a new door of opportunity when she decided to become a surrogate. After two successful journeys her heart is still open with more to give.

Our main purpose is to offer support and resources to Intended Parents who are overcoming their infertility by creating their family through Surrogacy.

Our goal is to work with professionals who will offer reasonable fees to Intended Parent and match them with a caring Surrogate to bring their dreams to life. We are Intended Parents ourselves and understand better than anyone the support you will need and the quality of care you deserve.

Our Surrogate matching process is very detailed and custom fit to the needs of our Intended Parents. There is not a one size fits all Surrogacy ar-raignment, regardless of your needs and desires we are committed to find the perfect match for you.

We work with professionals in almost every state for contracts and med-ical procedures needed as well as IVF services in Mexico. Anyone can become a parent through Surrogacy in California. Our clients come from all walks of life and every corner of the world. They all have one thing in common - a burning desire to become a parent or parents.

The most important thing to have a successful relationship between IP’s and Surrogate’s is honesty. No matter your needs or background we can find a Surrogate that is a good match for you. One of the rules for success through Surrogacy is this, it doesn’t matter where you’re coming from; all that mat-ters is where you’re going. And where you’re going is solely determined by yourself and your own thoughts. Clear goals increase your confidence, give you clarity and boost your level of motivation.

COMPANY OVERVIEW Expect Miracles Surrogacy was founded in Northern California in late

2006. We originally contracted with IVF Michigan that has 5 clinics in Michi-gan and Ohio. The first two years we limited our clients to patients of IVF MI. In 2008 with the economy struggling and the laws in many of the Mid-West-ern States becoming less and less favorable toward Surrogacy we moved the office to Southern California and started working with several San Diego and Los Angeles area IVF clinics in addition to our clients from IVF MI. For the last four years our growth and doubled each year.

Based on the % of growth we continue to see we expect our Agency to double again this year, 2014. We have added 4 staff members since Jan. 1st and continue to locate more qualified case workers in order to assure the women that act as surrogates have the resources they need to do a good job for the parents that they carry for. 80% of our clients are international. We have procedures to help with every step to ensure that even with the distance their surrogate is healthy and their child is getting the best possible care.

This year we are excited to add the only Guarantee Program by a suc-cessful Agency in the U.S. that offers a full refund to couples who are not successful in two years. We have had about 10% of our Intended Parents not achieve the goal of having a child due to the high costs to continue IVF treatments if the first cycle does not work. This option solves that issue and we look forward to assuring the EVERYONE goes home with a baby in the end!

CHRISTY ANDERSONCEO FOUNDER OF EMS Christy founded the Agency in 2006 when she started researching Surrogate Agencies for her own needs of becoming a mother and became very disappointed by the options and services offered by the Agencies that were available with California Surrogates. They were typically operated by Lawyers who just provided profiles of sur-rogates but failed to see how the surrogates needed to be screened and the concern of Intended Parents. The other option was Agencies operated by former Surrogates. The Surrogate run Agencies only saw surrogacy as a way to get the most for other Surrogates and also did not supply high quality Surrogates that Christy would be willing to trust in carrying her child. She saw what was missing was an Agency operated in the effort to advocate for the Intended Par-ents in finding them the best Surrogates, providing the highest level of background screening and psychological evaluations. The unique thing Christy continues to bring to the Agency is her interview with each approved Surrogate Candidate.

JON ANDERSONCO-CEO DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONSJon joined the company when operations were moved to Southern California in 2008. Jon is a father through Surrogacy to a daughter born in 2010. He is active in the day to day operations of Expect Miracles Surrogacy. He coordinates outside contracts with doctors, negotiates with insurance and web design contracts. Daily he does the initial new Intended Parent intake and assists them in applying to the Agency. He coordinates appointments for Intended Parents and oversees the staff that monitors the Surrogates. Jon is dedicat-ed to making Surrogacy a positive experience for everyone involved with the final goal a healthy infant to complete a family.

TEAMBIOGRAPHY

OUR SURROGATES

JON,CHRISTY& AUSTIN

They are mature, stable, self-aware women that have made a deci-sion that surrogacy is an experience they would like to participate in. They are selfsufficient, team players that are confident, active and optimistic. They believe that being a surrogate will give them a sense of accomplishment by making a difference in the world and that by participating in surrogacy they can make a unique personal contribution to another family.

THEIR PREREQUISITES:They need to currently have a stable home life and a positive health history in both previous pregnancies and in general. Additionally, they need to be emotionally equipped to care for the pregnancy and child as they would in any long term childcare situation without forming a parental bond.

THEIR SCREENING:The screening and selection procedures are strict as surrogacy is commercial and subject to professional regulation. Screening in-cludes in depth interviews, background checks, medical approval by her maternal doctor, medical records and physical exam performed by the qualified IVF physicians.

THEIR BACKGROUND:Our Surrogates come from stable homes with supportive families and friends. They have found pregnancy to be pleasurable. They feel skilled and confident about participating in a surrogacy arrangement.

THEIR CONFIDENCE:Our surrogates are highly confident from the start about the medicalprocess, their ability to look after the well being of the baby and the birth. They make their decisions with informed consent, an understanding of what the surrogacy arrangement requires and a confidence that they can carry through with their initial decision to participate in Surrogacy.

THEIR REASONS:They come to these arrangements on their own terms with a sense of empowerment wanting to do something special and unique with their life.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH INTENDED PARENTS:The quality of the Surrogate’s relationship with the Intended Parentsduring and after the pregnancy determine the surrogates satisfac-tion with the experience. Our surrogates want to be treated with re-spect, honor and trust. Good communication combined with a high level of honesty and trust between surrogates and Intended Parents are necessary for the relationship to work.

THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENT:In the end Surrogates are filled with pride and accomplishment of completing another family and assisting those less fortunate to re-alize their parenting dream.

If we had been able to get married in our state sooner, we would have done so long ago. We met back in 2005 while studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. Now, nine years later we will be among the first gay couples married in Illinois after the same-sex marriage law takes effect in June of 2014. This opens the door for the next step, starting a family, because it allows legal parental protection. We don’t want to have a child to fulfill our own needs, but rather to sacrifice part of our life to give to a baby. We are at the point in our lives where we are ready for that opportunity.

After many hours of research we found Expect Miracles Surrogacy and noticed that they had a financial assistance program, we applied and started the journey together. We are so grateful for the medical advances and to organizations like this one that have opened the possibility for people like us

to start a family. We want to make parenthood as equal as possible so we’ve decided both of us will be donors. It will make it that much more special to have two babies with each other’s DNA. This will be as close as we can get to having children together and completing our family.

With a very strong support system and our families behind us 100%, we feel equipped to face the difficulties and challenges of raising children as a same gender couple. Our families will be by our side every step of the way and are especially excited for grandchildren! We’ve waited a long time to make this official and in the process show others you don’t have to fit into a “traditional mold” to start a family. Everyone should have the opportunity to an enriching life full of acceptance and that’s the type of life our children will be brought into.

Meeting the love of your life, getting married and starting a family is a dream shared by many; however the right to get legally married is still denied in certain states to same sex couples. Last fall the state of Illinois passed a law to recognize gay marriage. For Tom Neal and Mario Cruz-Lopez, who have been together for almost a decade, this news couldn’t have come sooner. But an even bigger opportunity is right around the corner, the newlyweds will be starting a family through surrogacy.
