From the U.S : a beautiful baby boy ...

A family shares their thoughts about SCI/ FCI

We are so thankful to your team that help us to add a new color in our life. Words are not enough to show our gratitude towards you team but still try to jot few lines.

Few Words for SCI Team

Words really cannot express our gratitude to Dr. Shivani/SCI and her support team. We were almost ready to give up on our dream of building a family and then you came into our life and helped make our dream a reality.

You cannot believe how many times we thanked our good fortune that we heard about SCI. The journey was long but shorter than we expected, and we felt supported every step. The birth of our baby boy was one of the most important moments of our life. There is nothing that can be compared to it, and without it, our lives would not be complete.

As we write this our adorable baby boy is sleeping next to us and we are so grateful to SCI and the Surrogacy team for their expertise and support in handling our surrogacy.

From the initial call to the day our baby boy was born we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Thank you Dr. Shivani & SCI Team

Few Words for Dr Shivani

We were really quite anxious about the whole process but our first meeting with Dr. Shivani completely put us to rest. We found her not only extremely professional, but sympathetic and understanding as well.

She is the one who lighted the flame of new hope and made us feel secure and comfortable with her professional and detailed explanation about the whole process of surrogacy and commitment to making us happy and feel comfortable

She is sensitive to all the emotions involved and makes everyone feel valued.

Hats off to you Dr Shivani

Few Words for SCI Staff

Each member of SCI team were always incredibly accessible, would return phone calls or emails very promptly. Each one in their team from admin to account are absolutely awesome, truly professional, informative, supportive, and an extremely caring person.

The entire journey with SCI Team was just perfect, and no words could adequately express our gratitude to everyone on the team

Now our first baby boy is in our arms and our dreams have come true! We are looking forward to our next journey with SCI in the very near future!

We are changed forever in a beautiful way!

Few Words for FCI Team

FCI team are absolutely awesome, truly professional, supportive, and an extremely caring team. Beside their professional aspect they are serving many families to make their better future.

Their commitment to the people they work with, the support they give their surrogates and their family, and their attention to the business side of things is something we do not take for granted and appreciate all the same.

For this and many other reasons, I can highly recommend SCI/FCI team to all.

December Births...

We wish our December families the choicest of blessings and best wishes,

From the Philippines: a much longed for baby...

After four years of trying...

"Over 4 years of trying to have a child, we've had 5 heartbreaking miscarriages. We have spent a lot of time and money on all kinds of treatment from the best doctors in the country and for a time out of desperation, even tried alternative medical treatments...nothing. 

We still lost the succeeding pregnancies. 

We had spent almost 2 years researching surrogacy as an option. We had thought briefly of adopting but we were adamant that our child be genetically ours so we zoned on on looking at gestational surrogacy further. There were a couple of countries we looked at and decided on India. Now we researched the best clinic for us and after very extensive research, we felt Dr.Shivani and SCI was the clinic that will help make our dream come true...and did. 

It was a very nerve-wracking 9 months with our surrogate having to be hospitalized for almost 2 months but all throughout, the SCI team were always there. Updates were timely and we were always updated. A very professional organization, caring for their surrogates and you really felt that they were doing their best to help and ensure a successful outcome.

I cannot thank Dr.Shivani and her entire team at SCI enough. You facilitated making our dream come true and we are now a family. Thank you and more success to SCI."

From Brazil: Gorgeous twins for a gorgeous family...

I am so pleased to announce the safe arrival of Carla and Gustavo's twins. I had the privilege of spending time with this lovely family and using my poor Portuguese to translate their message of care and love when they met their surrogate. 

"Dear Dra.Shivani  and all SCI team, 

we would like to thank God, Dra.Shivani, your team and your loved surrogacy, for making possible the realization of our dream. Although it was a very long way, never lose hope since we had full confidence in the SCI. We create a relationship of complicity because we knew the commitment that dra.Shivani had with our case. Thank you for never giving up on us. We always gratitude to everyone involved in this process and a definitive link with this amazing country that is India that brought us Miguel and Isabela. 

Carla and Gustavo.

 PS: We are open to, in whatever form, help other Brazilian couple, who speak English or not (as in our case) to also realize their dream."
"Querida Dra.Shivani e toda equipe SCI, 

 gostariamos de agradecer a Deus, Dra.Shivani, sua equipe e a querida barriga de aluguel, por tornar possivel a realizacao do nosso sonho. Apesar de ter sido um caminho muito longo, nunca perdemos a esperança uma vez que tínhamos total confiança na SCI. Criamos uma relação de cumplicidade pois sabíamos do empenho que a dra.Shivani tinha com o nosso caso. Obrigado por nunca desistir de nós. Teremos sempre gratidão a todas as pessoas envolvidas nesse processo e uma ligação definitiva com esse incrível país que é a India que nos trouxe Miguel e Isabela.

 Carla e Gustavo. 

PS: Estamos a disposição para, de qualquer que seja a forma, ajudar a outros casais brasileiros, que falem ou não inglês (como é o nosso caso) a também realizarem o seu sonho."

From Brazil: a beautiful bundle of girls

From Argentina: A big thank you from "a full family".

Dear Dr. Shivani, SCI Team,

Eden Hospital’s NICU staff and mainly Our “Angel” Surrogate Mother:

Never is too late to THANK YOU for making us parents after a long and difficult path, here we are to express A BIG THANK YOU to a BIG Team, that is behind this happy ending story, a team led by Dr Shivani:

-SCI staff (Admin  & Nurses) and the whole team who is involved in the process who showed at all times so much professionalism. During the pregnancy, the way they kept us updated, and every single email was replied when we had any inquiry, everything was straight forward …they showed at all times comforting empathy throughout the process.

It is worth mentioning that behind this great and well organized team there is a supportive leader who knows exactly what and how to meet our expectations, without her experience and professionalism this train called SCI would not move forward…she is the one who pulls this big train: Dr Shivani – THANK YOU for trusting in us, for being honest and straight forward on our first visit but mainly thanks for accepting our decision and to respect it.

After birth, the NICU staff at Eden Hospital showed the best professionalism and it is incredible how careful they are with the babies taking all the necessary precautions.

Once on the “real role play of being parents”: A special thanks to Mrs. Mariamma and her team of nurses  for assisting us in our first few weeks as parents, giving us tips and reassuring us when we did not know exactly what to do, helping us to sleep…during the nights…giving us the confidence to do it on our own.

Last but not the least…the main Protagonist of this story…”Our Angel” Now that we hold our babies it is hard to express in words how thankful we are to our angel, as we call our SM.

From the first time we knew these two little persons were growing in her belly, she became part of your day-to-day thoughts and prayers. She is the most beautiful and generous person, meeting her after the birth of the babies gave us peace to our souls to be able to thank her in person for letting us be parents … though the language was a barrier but I could confirmed there that words sometimes are not needed…the message was clear…she understood what our hugs and smiles towards her and our eyes full of tears meant…and even though time pass by I still remember the precise moment that …me and her together…I was holding my babies that she carried for me for 9 months…We are full family and we owe it to her…

Finally, we would also like to thank other IP (Intended Parents) who have come part of our lives while expecting some of them through the forum, which was our way to share with them because we were all on the same boat, and also other IP from our country who helped us in shortening the process.

We feel so lucky and overwhelmed to finally have our babies at home… and we wish everyone success on their journey.

For those who are considering Surrogacy let me tell you… the first step is always the most difficult one… but is possible….and most difficult is to believe that this time is YOUR time and that finally it will happen…but for once, you have to believe it, it is just a matter of, for once, believing that things finally can also happen to YOU as well…and soon a baby will be giggling in your home…

With kind regards and for ever thankful,

A full family from Argentina.

Margarida, Surrogacy,

From Canada (via South Africa): a baby girl

After many years, such joy...

A 15-year roller coaster of hopes, wishes, treatments, disappointments, pain and dashed expectations – all were frozen in time on September 8, 2014, at the moment we first laid eyes on Holly Louise, our perfect, miracle baby girl.  We are truly in awe of the tiny person who has blessed our lives and the lives of all around us. 

We are humbled by the pure kindness and sacrifice of our dear surrogate SD and to the full SCI team, who patiently and quickly answered repeated questions at all hours over the past year – and we are indebted to Dr. Shivani – a doctor from a far away place who has done what many others tried - and who has made our dreams come true, giving us a beautiful child with a unique story to tell.

Never enough thank yous,

Tanya-Lisa, Garreth and Holly

From Ireland: a pigeon pair and family completed

Another delighted family, this time from Ireland...

We heard of SCI from a friend who's family had been  completed by Dr. Shivani, and her team and her team and after meeting Dr.Shivani,  we knew it was possible and here we are now at home in Ireland with our beautiful boy and girl. 

We are grateful each day for both Scott and Chloe and would say to anyone who is thinking a family is not possible it is. SCI make dreams happen.

Kind Regards,

Susan Dillon

From Australia: two beautiful princesses ...

 Much loved and wanted children ....

10 weeks ago and now... they grow quickly

an enormous thankyou for sticking by us over the past few years and for delivering to us, Jemimah and Audrey, are prized possessions.

As you will recall, there were times along the way we seriously questioned whether fate had chosen for us a future without children. This of course was not acceptable to Dr Shavani. It was therefore your relentless faith, positive reinforcement and generosity we hung in there and are now blessed our two adorable (slightly biased!).

We have heard experiences of other couples accessing surrogacy in India, Thailand and the USA and are so grateful in our decision to choose and remain with SCI Healthcare. None of these couples had anywhere close to the direct relationship with their doctor(s) which we enjoyed with Dr Shavani or a standby support team in the wings. In this regard, we would specifically like to highlight and thank Jyoti, Nabanita and Lalit – we are still amazed with how promptly and compressively they were always able to respond of our endless questions.

And of course shone of this would have occurred without our wonderful surrogate, Namita to whom Audrey's shares her middle name. We look forward to staying in touch with Namita, through SCI.

We have now been back in Australia almost 2 1/2 months and we are absolutely cherishing every day with our beautiful daughters and can't imagine our lives without them. 

Very kind regard’s

Joe and Craig

From Australia:a little princess,much loved and adored

After years of failed infertility treatment, success and a beautiful baby girl...

Having just celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary, our very long journey began eight years ago.   With repeat miscarriages and failed IVF attempts, we refused to give up on our dream of becoming parents.  We investigated many avenues and we decided that surrogacy was our best option and that SCI was our first preference.  For us spiritually it felt right to choose an Indian surrogate. 

SCI also provided egg donor profiles and happy with this we chose a donor whose profile suited us.  We were all set to go pretty much straight away when our donor was delayed due to her study commitments.  Happy to wait for her and not opt for another donor, Maurice travelled to India in early May 2013.  The hospitality of the Indian people, SCI’s world class staff and facilities, the brilliant Dr Shivani and the wonderful driver Rahul and his team organised by SCI,  left a very positive and lasting impression on Maurice.  This week would not only be life changing for Maurice, it would be life creating for us as a family. 

Almost one year later, we were set to fly out to New Delhi on the 30^th of April in anticipation of our baby’s expected arrival on the 9^thof May.  Our first round of embryo transfers with two surrogates failed and this second time due to the ever changing laws, Dipkami was our sole surrogate.    Dipkami was now pregnant with our baby and we were thrilled to be on our way to meet them both!  

However, this was to be sooner than we expected as on the 17^th of April we received an email that due to concerns with the baby having a double nuchal chord, our baby daughter had been delivered!  That was Good Friday, we were on a plane Easter Monday!  Our beautiful, healthy Quintessa Grace was born a day short of 37 weeks.  Quintessa was quite jaundiced and as a result stayed in hospital under photo therapy lights until it started to clear.  Quite symbolically for us as Australians, Quintessa came home to the hotel with us on Anzac Day April the 25^th.  The care she received from the doctors and nurses at Eden hospital was not only world class but was combined with the wisdom and nurturing of the Indian culture and spirituality.

We were very happy and relieved that our wonderful surrogate Dipkami was recovering well and were thrilled to meet both she and her husband.  We gave them gifts to thank them and in the absence of a common language,  our display of emotions being universal were felt and understood.  That said no words would ever convey our sheer gratitude to Dipkami and absolute joy that she was healthy and well.  Dr Shivani was also there to congratulate us and it was wonderful to thank her and recognise her for all her hard work.

Also through SCI we engaged the services of Poonam Jain of Prime Air Global Ltd, who organised our documents for FRRO ensuring a swift turnaround with our visas.  Our dealings with FRRO, The Australian High Commission and Australian Passports Office were all pleasant and easy. 

From the time we arrived in New Delhi to the day we departed (a little over three weeks), we felt genuine support and care from by the SCI Team.  There was never a moment that we felt alone or that we could not call them for assistance or advice.  As first time parents in a foreign country, the importance of this cannot be emphasised enough.

We have been home now for a little over six weeks and have settled into our daily life.  Quintessa is developing as we would hope, with her weight and growth going forward in leaps and bounds.  Her feeding and sleeping routines are like clockwork, we feel truly blessed as so far she is a healthy, easy baby.  Quintessa is now smiling and cooing, she is an absolute delight and we are completely smitten!  Our families cannot get enough of their little princess and she is very loved and adored.

Thanks to SCI our dream of having a family has been realised and we hope to return to India in the near future so that Quintessa can see the magical land in which she was born.

Yours Sincerely and Forever Grateful,

Maurice, Angelique and Quintessa

From the U.S : a family forever changed by the arrival of their twins

A family forever changed, India now part of this family's story forever more...

Dearest Dr Shivani and the SCI staff,

It was more than 6 months ago that our life-time dream of fatherhood finally came to reality, and we were blessed with Anjali & Arian. It has been an amazing journey, and our life forever has changed. A simple "Thank You" does not convey the immense gratitude we have for all of you. 

Also we are forever thankful to two beautiful and amazing women, our donor and our surrogate, Shabana, without whom this journey would not have been possible. We are appreciative of all the sacrifices Shabana had to make to carry our babies for 34 weeks. 

Throughout the journey, you guys have been professional, responsive and helpful with all the questions we had. New Delhi will always have a special place in our heart as the birth place of our babies. 

Keep up the great work, and may God bless you all. 

Payam, Sajeev, Anjali & Arian - from Brooklyn, NY

Our Surrogates : What are they doing now?

Through surrogacy, there are many Indian families who are able to make their own children's future brighter.

In future blog posts we will begin to share the stories of women who are proud to have been surrogates, who are caring enough to wish that others have the joy of having children and who make informed decisions on how best to change the circumstances of their own family.

Here is one such family:

This is Chanda, one of SCI's surrogates who was able to help two families through surrogacy. 

Chandra has an 8 year old daughter. Chanda was unable to afford her daughter's school expenses, so her daughter was helping her father at his shop. 

After surrogacy Chanda used her money for her daughter’s education and also bought a new shop next door to their old one to expand the family business so they have a new source of income. 

Today, her daughter goes to school and in the evening she also helps her father at the shop while Chanda manages the house. 

Chanda helped two other families to make their dream come true – they had a babies and Chanda’s own dream came true too, to educate her daughter.

Chanda's story is not unique; there are many other surrogates who made their life better through surrogacy and we hope to share their stories. 

They are proud having been surrogate mothers

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.
