EDSI
Complete U.S. Family Building Program
Egg donation, embryo creation, and surrogacy coordination for intended parents worldwide.
Building your family through egg donation and surrogacy is a major decision. For intended parents living outside the United States, gay couples, single fathers, and families beginning without embryos, the process can feel overwhelming because there are many separate parts to manage.
You may need to choose an egg donor, work with a fertility doctor, create embryos, match with a gestational surrogate, coordinate legal agreements, review insurance, fund escrow, plan travel, and prepare for birth in the United States.
EDSI brings these steps into one carefully coordinated pathway.
WHAT ALL INCLUSIVE MEANS
One program. One financial roadmap. One experienced coordination team.
The Complete U.S. Family Building Program is designed to bring the standard services and expenses required for egg donation, embryo creation, and surrogacy into one coordinated program.
Instead of managing separate agencies, clinics, attorneys, mental health professionals, insurance specialists, escrow providers, and travel arrangements on your own, you have one EDSI team guiding the journey from initial planning through delivery.
Exact coverage limits, case dependent expenses, transfer support, rematching provisions, and exclusions are stated in the signed program agreement.
Egg donor and embryo creation
Donor selection, professional screening, fertility clinic coordination, IVF planning, embryo creation, and transfer preparation.
Surrogate and pregnancy pathway
Surrogate recruitment, preliminary review, matching, professional clearance coordination, pregnancy support, and delivery planning.
Independent professional services
Coordination with fertility physicians, licensed mental health professionals, reproductive attorneys, insurance specialists, escrow providers, and genetic counselors.
Journey support and program protection
Ongoing case management, communication support, approved travel coordination, transfer support, and rematching support according to the signed program terms.

The EDSI Pathway
Eight steps, one coordinated team
Each step is guided by an experienced coordinator who knows your case, your timing, and your goals.
- 1
Private consultation and planning
We begin with a confidential conversation to understand your family, your goals, and where you are in the process. From there we outline a realistic pathway and answer your first questions.
- 2
Egg donor coordination
When egg donation is part of your program, we guide you through donor selection and coordinate screening with the fertility clinic. You review profiles in a calm, unhurried way.
- 3
Fertility clinic coordination
We help match your case to a trusted U.S. fertility clinic and coordinate communication, records, and scheduling. All medical decisions are directed by the physician you work with.
- 4
Embryo creation support
We coordinate timing, logistics, and communication around the IVF cycle so the clinical team can focus on your treatment. You receive clear updates at each milestone.
- 5
Surrogate matching and professional screening
We introduce you to gestational surrogates who have completed EDSI’s preliminary eligibility and medical record review. Independent licensed professionals then complete medical screening, psychological evaluations, background checks, and any required match consultation before the journey moves forward.
- 6
Legal, insurance, and escrow coordination
We coordinate independent reproductive attorneys, insurance specialists, and an independent escrow provider. You receive guidance on documents, funding schedules, coverage review, deadlines, and the steps required before embryo transfer.
- 7
Embryo transfer and pregnancy support
We support scheduling, travel logistics, and ongoing communication with the clinic and surrogate. You receive regular updates as the pregnancy progresses.
- 8
Delivery planning and parentage coordination
We help you plan for birth in the United States, including hospital coordination, travel, and documentation. Your independent attorney leads the parentage order process.
