What do I need to do to match with intended parents?

Summary: Submit your available times in order for us to arrange a Match Meeting with intended parents. Then, go through the Matching Process before a decision is finalized.

Answer:

In order to start matching with intended parents, first you need to complete all the application forms and finish retrieving your Medical Records for all your previous pregnancies.

Then, once an intended parent is interested in matching with you, you need to set up your "Available Times" in order for us to arrange a "Match Meeting" with both you and the intended parent(s).

To set up your available times, please see How do I set my available times in the Patriot Conceptios Portal?

After setting up your availability, Patriot Conceptions and the intended parents together will decide on a time for the "Match Meeting" to take place. During the "Match Meeting", you and the intended parents will discuss in detail about how the surrogacy will be approached. After the meeting, the intended parents will decide if they want to continue the surrogacy journey with you.

When a "Match Meeting" is arranged, you can view and join the meeting by going to the "Meetings" tab in the "Menu Bar".
