I have a friend that is possibly going to need a GC. Does anyone have any good resources that I can show her? I know it's an overwhelming process, so just want to help her out as much as possible. Where would you find state laws etc regarding it?

07/10/11-03/20/12- 5 Injectable (Follistim) IUI cycles; 4 BFN, 1 C/P. (stims ranged from 11 days to 25 days)
05/28/12-Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. 75 mcg Synthroid.

    What state is she in?  I know a few off the top of my head.

    I would recommend she check out:
    surromomsonline.com
    allaboutsurrogacy.com

    It is a very overwhelming subject but there is SOOO much information out there if you know where to look.

    We are using a gestational carrier and I know it can be super overwhelming!

    In addition to the sites that Mama-Bear suggested, I also really like Resolves site https://www.resolve.org/family-building-options/surrogacy.html

    I also made a Power Point for our first meeting with our gestational carrier. I am happy to give it to you if you want to PM me.

    We would love to have her on the board and she is lucky to have such a concerned and supportive friend!

    My first question is did she tell you this or are you trying to be proactive on her behalf?

    We're using a GC in India at this clinic and they will happily give her a ton of information and a ton of references from all over the USA.

    Best of luck to her.
    It's not 100% sure yet, but she possibly can't carry due to a uterus issue. She is actively looking into GC as an option.
