The happiest Indian family ever...

Dearest Dr. Shivani,

We don’t have words to express …..what you have done for us.We saw a dream of this reality 14 years ago and we had lost all our hopes after two failed IVFs.But it was you who encouraged us to do one more time.The confidence and positive vibrations we got from you…made our dream come true.

We really appreciate the way you work. We are forever grateful to you making our dream come true.

You are always in our thoughts & prayers.We named him…NEIL.We are sorry because we copied your son’s name because we wish to keep you in our prayers & thoughts forever.

We can now look at us as a Complete Happy Family……….something we never would have been imagined.

Journey was long…but everything was happening so fast, we couldn’t believe.

We honestly are still surprised…we are finally happiest parents of cutest SON.We had aperfect experience with the IVF process..continous support from Nursing team.Specially sister Geeta..The way they treat each & every patient…is just PERFECT.

You ARE THE BEST DOCTOR………

       We CAN’T Express OUR Gratitude ENOUGH For WHAT you have done for us.

From Australia : Two girls and dreams come true...

The best part of our role, making people's dreams come true...

You already know you are a saint, but we cannot let this opportunity pass without sharing our deepest gratitude for what you have done for us over the past 10 months. First, if it wasn’t your efficiency professionalism and consideration. We would still be trying to use my ineffective eggs or worse still had fallen pregnant ,ended up with a child with a disability. For that alone we will never be able to thank you enough …as the system in Australia failed us and you amazed and saved us.

 

Second, the business that you have created and all of the people who help make it operate, is inspiring. You go well beyond any expectation of any job you have obviously made it your mission in life to bring life to those who cannot create it in any other way. Finally we feel privileged to have been so fortunate that fate led us to you and feel our girls will always be blessed simply by being touched by you.

So thank you sincerely for making a seemingly impossible dream a reality and for giving us faith when no one else did the first time we met you, you said, you will have babies.

Thanks,

 

Dave & Natalie

 

 

We wish Dave, Natalie and the girls the choicest of blessings. If you would like to find out more about surrogacy, please email us at : drshivanisachdev@gmail.com

From Canada : Dayenu (It would have been enough)

Another amazing story, full of adventure and hope with a brilliant ending...

 

 

Dayenu (It would have been enough)

One of my favourite songs as a kid, was called "Dayenu (catchy tune)." Dayenu means "It would be sufficient." The song marks the Jewish people's rise and escape from slavery to salvation. The song goes something like this: If God only punished our tormenters in Egypt (who forced us to be slaves), that would have been enough. If he only led us out of slavery/Egypt, that would have been enough. If he only gave us a homeland, that would be enough. The song goes on to mention many things God gave the Jews, even though one would have been enough, he gave them all of them!

Dr. Shivani's clinic here in New Dehli and what it has given me, reminds me exactly of this song, for:

1) If they only gave me one child, any child, healthy or otherwise, that would have been enough.

2) if they only gave me one child, that would have been enough.

3) If they would have give me twins and one was unhealthy, that would have been enough.

4) if they gave me twins and they were the same gender, that would have been enough.

5) If I left with a child and didn't feel a forever bond with the other parents and a belonging to a very special group, that would have been enough.

6) If I came home with a child, but didn't have the most amazing story and adventure of all parents in the world and how we finally met 16,000 kilometres away and our incredible stay in a foreign land, with hundreds of friends and family waiting at the airport for your eventual arrival, that would have been enough.

7) If I came home with a child, but never felt I go back to have another child, that would be enough.

8) If as a single male bringing home twins, I would never have an effect on future males wanting to have children or have an effect on people's views of parenting roles around the world forever more, that would be enough.

But you see, this clinic gave me all these things. My name is Steven Mintz and I from Canada. 

After so many failures and heartbrakes with other clinics, I came here and on the first try was the lucky father of twins. Their names are Ryan and Emily-Rose, a boy and a girl, and are two very healthy children. I feel as part of group and bond with other parents here as we all share the same hopes and dreams when we arrive here. That's not something I have felt at home before. The adventure here in India has just begun and it is part of the story I am collecting of their births to give to them on their 16th birthday (traditional big birthday in Canada). I know I could come back if needed too, and recommend to all my friends having difficulty conceiving a child which are many. But mostly, the last one, I will have a positive impact on stereotypical gender roles regarding children worldwide and for generations to come. And that would have been enough!

Dayenu

 

 

As always, we wish this family the choicest of blessings.

From the USA: A Big Thank You

Another family returns home, babies well loved by their parents, grandparents, family, and friends

 

Dear Dr Shivani and SCI team

We are very grateful for your help in making our family a reality.

 

We appreciate the excellent SCI staff (Meg, Margarida, Neha, Yogita, Jyoti, Lalit, Rachna, and Nabanita) who were there for us when we needed their assistance. Thank you as well for arranging the meeting with our dear surrogate (SS) last week. We were quite happy to see her in person to thank her for what she did for us.

 

The twins are doing well and gaining weight as expected. They are enjoying their time interacting with their grandparents, family, and friends. We will come back to India someday so that the twins experience part of their heritage, and hopefully meet the special people that helped bring them into this world.

 

With Love

M, S, T & S

From Australia : a pigeon pair and a father's delight!

A family completed, a fathers delight...

Dear Dr Shivani,

I can not thank you and your team enough for everything you have done.

Charlie and April are now 3 months old and deliver so much joy to myself and everyone in my family.

I always dreamed of having a family, and while considering surrogacy in India since 2006; there was a huge mix of emotions, being overwhelmed, scared and afraid to go any further then just looking at websites. I sat back and waited for the perfect timing to start the ball rolling, but after 6 years, I realized that waiting for the perfect moment may result in missing the perfect opportunity..... so I contacted SCI and started those first couple of steps.

I was so lucky that both surrogates fell pregnant on the first attempt and the pregnacies ran very smoothly, You did an amazing job caring for the surrogates and always keeping me informed every step of the way. Every member of SCI was always so helpful, caring and considerate. Specifillically a huge thank you to Meg (who helped to keep me from turning into a crazed parentzilla), Rachna and Neha.

A million thanks yous!!!

Adrian, Charlie and April Tilby

From the UK: a baby boy and parenting order completed!

Another happy couple from the UK, with their gorgeous baby boy, parenting order completed and some great feedback:

Dear Dr Shivani and the whole team at SCI,

We are so thankful that we chose you and SCI to help us become a family. We had 10 long years struggling to become a family, first through IVF and then via an ever extending waiting list for an international adoption placement which never happened. I am so thankful that we found you and are now proud parents to our beautiful baby boy. He means everything to us and our family.

From that initial google search to find you, the references you were able to provide, the continual encouragement and support you gave throughout those initial stages. Then the excellent medical care and support for our lovely surrogate. The care you gave for our baby boy born early but healthy. You have been with us throughout our journey.

As a UK couple we had the added struggle of a long wait in India before we were able to leave and then the parental order process at the High Court in London. You continued to help us throughout this process and went above and beyond the call of duty to meet our deadlines and provide absolutely everything that we needed. Our legal council commented that SCI is clearly a reputable company. I am so grateful to you and our lovely surrogate. You will all be in our hearts forever.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

A very happy UK couple and our beautiful baby boy.

We wish this family the choicest of blessings and wish them many years of light, laughter and happiness.

From Australia :a baby boy & feedback from a happy family

Another family completed after years of unsuccessful IVF treatment ...

We could not be more happy than we are right now with the birth of our beautiful baby boy.

After many many years of IVF treatments (we think we hold the world record) we decided to come to the conclusion that we would never become parents and that was a really hard decision for us both to make.

Until we heard about SCI and started investigating the possibility of becoming parents. Every step of the way, the information and feedback was amazing. Meg & Margarida with there resource of information was reassuring and so helpful, we will always be enternally gratefull for helping us make the decison to pursue our dream finally.

To Dr Schivani, thank you. The first time we meet you we knew that we had made the right decision. The wonderful team  at SCI for always being there for us

The most important person in the birth of our child was our dear surrogate who will always hold a special place in our hearts.

 

Thanking You.

The Happiest Australian Couple.

We wish this family the choicest of blessings and years of joy and happiness.

From Australia : the road to our babies...

Sometimes the photo is enough...

My husband and I were married in 2004 and thought like every other couple that a baby would come into our lives as a lovely surprise not long after. We waited and hoped and after a year realised something wasn't right. Fast forward 8 years - and following 13 failed and tortuous rounds of IVF and an adoption application that seemed like a road to nowhere - we arrived at SCI, with very little hope left that we would ever become parents.

To our amazement, we had success in our first attempt with a surrogate and are now the happy - but tired! - parents of twin boys Leo and Noah. We are so grateful for the professional support of Dr Shivani and the SCI team - including their warmth and responsiveness to all of our questions along the way.

And of-course, we will always be indebted to our wonderful surrogate who carried our boys who came into the world so healthy and beautiful.

Sending warm regards from
 Karim, Arielle, Leo and Noah -
 NAMASTE and THANK-YOU!

From Brazil : Uma linda menina em forma de bebê

Another story of a family completed, this time from Brazil:

Dra. Shivani e Equipe

Estamos vivendo os dias mais felizes e incríveis de nossa vida. A chegada do nosso anjo de luz modificou para sempre o significado e o valor da existência. É impressionante como o tempo se desdobrou célere desde os primeiros contatos que tivemos com a Margarida e a Meg. A longa jornada em busca da paternidade em breve se transformou em doce expectativa com o início do procedimento, a confirmação da gestação, os primeiros ultrassons, o desenvolvimento gradativo do nosso bebê amado... Não temos palavras para traduzir a felicidade que estamos sentindo e o carinho que lhes dedicamos. Podemos dizer apenas que vocês todos foram formidáveis, pacientes, acolhedores, profissionais! Por isso, queremos expressar, com a linguagem inarticulada dos sentimentos mais puros, com a voz terna dos corações nobres, o nosso mais sincero e profundo “muito obrigado!”.

Que o Senhor lhes dê a paz!

Clóvis e Ronald

 

 

 

"Dear Dr. Shivani & Team

We want to thank you for all the dedication and patience, all the support and clarification. Our biggest dream is now complete: our baby is an angel of light who you kindly helped bring to the world. There are situations in our lives for which words cannot translate the greatness of the feelings that vibrate within our soul. This is definitely one of them! Therefore, we write to you from heart to heart, from spirit to spirit - the only way able to understand deeply the language of noble feelings. Receive our eternal gratitude and appreciation.

May God bless you always!

With love,

Clóvis and Ronald"

From the U.S.A : a baby girl

From the U.S , another happy family...

Dear Dr. Shivani,

Thanks to you, we heard our daughter cry for the first time at her birth - a memory we will never, ever forget.

A year ago, we could only hope to have a child. And then we found SCI, and the experience has exceeded our expectations. Because of you and your team, we are now a family, and we will forever be grateful.

The entire SCI staff was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. In particularly, I must thank Meg - she's the reason we choose SCI in the first place, and she was there supporting us in ways no one else could right up until the end.

Best wishes to you, your team, and your clients!

John, Morgan, & Saffron

 

 

 

 

We wish this family the choicest of blessing and many years filled with light, laugher and joy.

SCI ANNOUNCEMENT : future work with non - married clients & those travelling on a Tourist visa

We are all very aware of the uncertainty that recent changes to visa requirement has caused our surrogacy community.

After the most recent communication with FRRO, SCI  believes it has no recourse other than to postpone treatment for non - married clients, rather than expose clients to legal action for violation of visa conditions.

We have included a copy of the letter we have sent all concerned SCI clients ( irrespective of your marital status, we cannot start a new treatment cycle : ie receive samples,sperm collection, IVF, egg collection with any client who travels on a tourist visa regardless of treatment being planned in 2012) :

Hello,

I know that you are aware of the many issues surrounding the new visa requirement. This has been a confusing and challenging time for us all.

I would like to inform you about what has happening from our end:

1.     After Christmas we were made aware of the new visa requirement and as such we accepted no new non- married and single IPs.

2.     After approaching both the MHA & FRRO, a meeting was held on the 5^th of Feb at the FRRO, the FRRO recognized that there are IPs who are already in the process, all of whom may not be able to satisfy the new visa requirements. In the meeting a demand was made to forward a list of all clients who are pregnant and or/in treatment. 

3.     SCI approached clients for names to be placed on the list.

4.     On the 1^st of March, the FRRO demanded the list be forwarded

5.     On the 8^th of March, we received a letter from the FRRO dated the 6^th of March 

The relevant part of this letter which impacts on you reads as follows.

The appropriate visa category for commissioning surrogacy is a medical visa.

Tourist visa is not the appropriate visa category for surrogacy and legal action

will be taken for violation of visa conditions.

 

o   We were informed that as per the Ministry of Home Affairs directions surrogacy is not allowed in case of single parent. However, in cases where surrogacy has already been commissioned it will be examined on case-by-case basis.

 

o   We were informed by the representatives that there are some “grey zones” in the present surrogacy requirements, which should he looked into by the government.

 

 We are currently seeking clarification about your situation as we believe you to be clients who have already commissioned surrogacy. Until we have such clarification, we are requesting that you postpone your trip/procedure until a clear reply is obtained by us from the concerned government authority. 

For those of you coming to India on tourist visa, you will only be able to sign a surrogacy contract, but no treatment can commence until we have further clarification, or you have obtained a medical visa.

We are very sorry for these circumstances; the said postponement is beyond our control and is directed by government. We have no wish to place you in a circumstance in which the consequences are unknown.

SCI will not give up on your dream, we remain hopeful to being able get back to you soon to start the process.

 Please email us with any queries or concerns that you may have, but we would ask that you be mindful that we are seeking further clarification of the definition of " surrogacy has already been commissioned " in writing : drshivanisachdev@gmail.com

From the U.S : Recommended by friends and now a gorgeous baby boy

 

It is always wonderful when friends recommend us to friends - there is no higher recommendation than having friends who have had healthy happy babies and a wonderful experience with SCI.  This is just one joyous example from the U.S.

 

 

 

After two couples we know had wonderful healthy babies with SCI, we had the confidence and trust to try ourselves. Nine months after first visiting SCI we welcomed our perfect little boy into the world. We couldn't have done it without the efforts and support from so many.

We had a perfect experience with the surrogacy process and that is a testament to the solid work and care of SCI. We are eternally grateful to our caring surrogate, our egg donor and to Dr. Shivani and her team for making this such a positive process.

 

We can't express our gratitude enough for the trusting care and professional treatment we recieved. Our son will be raised with love and compassion for the amazing Indian women that gave him life, and for all women everywhere.

Thank you SCI a thousand times for taking such special care of everyone involved in this effort. You brought our little guy into the world, and we promise that the world will be better for this special
gift.

From Scotland : A wee bonnie lass

Another SCI family completed after a long journey of infertility and trying everything else

Dear SCI,

It is difficult to put into words the feelings of thanks we have to Dr Shivani and all her team for making our dream come true with the birth of our beautiful daughter Emilia. She has settled well into her life in Scotland but she is also the source of many fond memories from our time in Delhi. The culture, the warmth of the people and the many experiences also made it unforgettable and we would love to return.

We would also like to say how amazing the clinic were in dealing with us from day one and for patiently taking an interest in every stage of our journey. Their referral to Poonam and recommendation to use the excellent nurses (special mention to Ruth and Anila) was invaluable.

With best wishes from Scotland,

Neil, Cat and Emilia xxx
