surrogacy
How can gay couples or eligible bachelors have children?
The United States has the most progressive fertility policies in the world, where IVF procedures are not influenced by gender or marital status. Same-sex male couples and single men can become parents through egg donation and surrogacy, and they can legally obtain parental rights. The U.S. offers the most advanced legal frameworks and IVF technologies to help fulfill these dreams.
For men who wish to become parents, the necessary steps include:
1. Sperm analysis
2. Consultation with a physician to establish a medical plan
3. Sperm freezing in Taiwan or direct sperm retrieval in the U.S.
4. Legal egg donation in the U.S.
5. Seeking third-party reproductive assistance (surrogacy) to facilitate pregnancy and childbirth.
If the sperm is transported internationally to a U.S. clinic, there is no need to travel to the U.S. before the child's birth. There are agencies that can help bring the child back to the home country if the intended parents are unable to travel after birth.
Below, we will provide a detailed explanation of several important steps:
STEP 1: Sperm and Infectious Disease Screening
Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days. You will be asked to collect your sperm sample via masturbation at the clinic. If collecting at home, the sample must be delivered to the clinic within the specified time frame. The screening typically includes semen analysis and tests for infectious diseases.
STEP 2: Sperm Collection in the U.S.
Travel to the U.S. for sperm collection, requiring a 5-day stay to ensure the highest success rate. If traveling to the U.S. is not feasible, arrangements can be made for sperm collection and transport from a third location in Asia, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Malaysia.
STEP 3: Legal Egg Donation in the U.S.
Many Asian countries have restrictions on egg donation, limiting recipients to heterosexual couples and prohibiting the transport of embryos formed from donated eggs to other countries. Therefore, same-sex male couples and single men need to go to the U.S. where egg donation is legal. While donor identities remain confidential, U.S. law allows access to the donor's childhood and adult photos, detailed background information, educational and career history, and family health records. At RSMC, donors are carefully selected, managed by physicians, and undergo rigorous genetic, fertility, and psychological screening. Some donors even provide IQ test scores, offering peace of mind to prospective parents seeking high-quality donors.
STEP 4: Hiring a Surrogate
U.S. regulations require surrogates to be U.S. citizens who have previously given birth and are in good physical and mental health. RSMC has its own surrogate database, with only 4% of applicants passing the thorough background and health checks. Surrogates are aged 21-37, while egg donors are 18-29, ensuring high fertility rates and a greater chance of successful pregnancy. Each surrogate can have up to three embryo transfers, increasing the likelihood of success. We also offer a 100% success-guaranteed VIP plan. Additionally, RSMC provides exclusive insurance for surrogates and ensures regular video check-ins and updates throughout the pregnancy, allowing you to confidently and joyfully anticipate the arrival of your new baby with your surrogate.
