FROM AUSTRALIA: A Family reborn

Many of our families come to us with stories of loss, this precious story is one of them...

In 2012,after losing a precious baby girl born at 23 weeks with a clinic in Mumbai and later having a negative result at the same clinic,I then decided to try another clinic.I emailed several clinics in India and SCI was one of the clinics to get back to me.

Speaking to Dr. Shivani gave me hope and confidence that I will have a family again after losing my only child (my best mate) in a car accident when he was 13 years old. On the 23rd November 2013 Ryan would be turning 26 years old, and my precious little angel Katalani would have turned 1 in October this year.

Even before I left Australia for India, I felt confident that I had picked the right clinic.

In early 2013 I personally met Dr. Shivani and after talking with Dr. Shivani and being explained the whole process at SCI (and I mean the whole process!!!!), I felt even more confident with SCI.

Dr. Shivani reassured me that I will achieve my dreams of having a family again, you might think that they were only words spoken.

But as I hold my handsome son and my beautiful daughter in my arms and look into their loving eyes, I feel very blessed that I have met the most precious person in the world Dr. Shivani, a true angel, that has given me a beautiful family again!

My dreams are not my dreams anymore.

I now have five more very precious people in my life, Dr. Shivani, the very generous egg donor, and the most incredible person in my life the surrogate.

I will always be in debt to these wonderful people my life and the other two most precious in my life, my son and daughter!!

It should be Zero to two in less than 10 months!!!!!

God bless everyone at SCI.

Heartfelt thanks,
Noel.

We wish this family the choicest of blessings and celebrate their safe return home to Australia.

From Brazil: a bundle of girls and dreams come true...

After failed fertility treatment in Brazil, success and a family completed:

Suri, Maya & Noa

Meu nome é Dror e minha esposa Tania. Começamos a fazer o tratamento de barriga de aluguel em julho de 2012 apos 5 tentativas frustradas de FIV no Brasil.Apos 2 tentativas sem sucesso optamos em fazer a terceira tentativa com 2 maes de aluguel e para nossa surpresa as 2 maes engravidaram, uma de 2 criancas e outra de 1 crianca. Elas nasceram em 4/9/13 e 7/10/13, 3 meninas. Gostariamos de agradecer a Dra. Shivani por tudo que ela nos fez, sempre sendo muito solicita as nossas duvidas e a toda sua equipe fora e dentro da India que nos ajudou em todos os detalhes do processo que levou 15 meses no total. Nos recomendamos a clinica da Dra. Shivani para todos os brasileiros que optarem por este processo e so temos a agradecer a  toda equipe da clinica por realizar nosso sonho

English summary

My name is Dror, and with my wife Tania, we undertook 5 failed attempts of IVF in Brazil.  Our first two attempts with SCI were unsuccessful, so it was recommended that we cycle with two surrogates*. Imagine our surprise when both surrogates became pregnant, one with two babies and the other with one. They were born on the 4/9/13 and 7/10/13

We would like to thank Dr. Shivani and her team, both inside and outside of India, they were very solicitous in answering our questions, explaining the process that took 15 months in total.

We recommend Dr. Shivani and her clinic to all Brazilians who opt for this process. We are thankful to this whole team that made our dreams come true

Happy Diwali from our SCI family to yours

Diwali is the festival of lights and celebration. one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. 

It is a time in which family travel to be together; where our surrogate's families are assisted to be with their daughters, wives, mothers; where the surrogate accommodation is filled with  food, laughter, joy and light ( and family).

While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning is "the awareness of the inner light". 

The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature.

With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things and this brings joy & peace.

Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light. 

May the Divine Light Of Diwali,

Spread Into Your Life Peace,

Prosperity, Happiness and Good Health.
 

Happy Diwali from our SCI family to yours,
with affection, 
from
Dr. Shivani and the SCI Team

From Canada: a gorgeous baby girl

After years of infertility and devastating loss, there is great joy and jubilation at the safe arrival of a gorgeous baby girl...

"Dear Dr Shivani
Happy Diwali, and a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for among our dreams come true. After suffering through infertility and devastating loss, we came to your clinic as our final hope, and we are proof that dreams can come true. There are no words to thank you enough for how you have changed our lives, but thank you.

Sincerely

Raja and Lynn and of course baby S (Canada)"

From Canada : A beautiful baby boy and our dream come true...

"Choosing the Surrogacy Centre of India (SCI) has proven to be one of the best decisions that I’ve made in my entire life.   Margarida, my SCI contact/representative, was instrumental in guiding my partner and I to start the journey in fulfilling our dream to become parents.  Fourteen months later, my partner and I are proud fathers of our beautiful baby boy. 

Prior to becoming clients with SCI, my partner and I endured an agonizing year of consecutive failed fertility treatments with another fertility clinic in Mexico.  After the 5^th failed embryo transfer, we decided to completely change our strategy and find another fertility clinic.  This is where I found SCI’s website and started to research Dr. Shivani and her amazing team at SCI.  I decided to email SCI and I was surprised to receive a quick response from Margarida.

Margarida, a past client herself, was able to provide us real information based on her “first hand” experience.  She was very knowledgeable in IVF and was able to provide us with all the answers to our million questions. Her exceptional customer service and professionalism put SCI on top of the list.  Margarida worked for us and always had our best interest. Although she represents SCI, she never tried to sell, promote or sway us in doing anything.  She simply was our main contact throughout the whole process.

She aided us in finding our egg donor and surrogate. She provided ongoing support throughout the pregnancy.  We knew that we could always count on her for guidance and an honest answer.  Looking back, she made an already easy process even easier. 

Equally impressive was the whole functionality and professionalism of SCI and the amazing support staff that made a very scary process feel safe and promising.  They have exceptional organizational skills and customer service especially for those patients, like me, who are foreigners.  I was also very impressed with the clinic itself.  It was beautiful and very clean.  The staff was very professional.  The medial team’s expertise is completely trustworthy and I felt like I was in a clinic back in Canada. 

They provided all of the contacts for services required for our stay in India and bringing our baby home. I wholeheartedly recommend SCI to anyone who needs their valuable service.  

Words can not describe how happy we are.  Margarida and Dr. Shivani’s outstanding team at SCI answered our deepest hopes and dreams. Dr. Shivani and her husband/business partner Dr. Vishal Gour are a “God-send”.  We are forever in debt to SCI, our egg donor, our surrogate and to India itself.  They gave us our perfect little boy who we love more than life itself. They gave us the power and happiness that is family.   God bless SCI!  

Yours Truly,

Rondinelli Family"

FROM SPAIN: LOOK AT OUR BINDI’S

Across the language barriers David from Spain is doubly delighted to be a proud papa of Marina and Valeria.

David worked with an NGO in Andhra Pradesh from 2004 for 5 years and always felt a connection to India.Now this is a bond forever.

That moment that he first saw the girls -- so perfect -- is in his mind forever. There were many tears of joy at their birth and now as they prepare to go back to Spain they came to visit at SCI all dressed up in their cute little Bindi;s and their papa is now searching for bangles and Indian outfits! 

"Dear Dr Shivani and everyone at SCI Healthcare,

thank you from the bottom of my heart, my girls are perfect,

David"

From the U.S.A : a joyous bundle a boy and a girl!

Another amazing journey completed...

Dear Dr. Shivani and SCI Team,
 I would like to thank you all for helping to give me the best gifts in life.  When I started this journey last year, I didn't know what to expect.  I did a lot of research and talked to others who were clients at your facility. It wasn't until I visited the clinic last year in person that I was completely sold and decided to partner with you on this journey.

My egg donor produced a great number of eggs and my surrogate was pregnant with twins on the very first try!! Throughout the pregnancy I was always well informed on the babies’ progress and when I emailed questions, whether day or night, they were always answered promptly. Thank you for everything!

 
 I am forever grateful for these precious gifts.Sincerely,
Anwar,

Father of Zora and Ravi

From Japan : Two Beautiful Girls

From Japan, two beautiful girls and a family completed...

Dear Dr. Shivani and the SCI team,

As holding our pretty girls in our arms, we are now feeling happiness with relish.

It is really our pleasure and honor to express our gratitude to you all.

Our long-time dream "to have a child" finally came to a happy end.

Our new dream "to raise our children" has now begun.

To open the locked doors for our dreams, we had to find the KEYS.

The KEYS, namely, a reliable doctor, a good communicator, and a cooperative surrogate mother.

Let us give advice to the people who are expecting a journey to have a baby.

The professional medical treatments and the perfect management by Dr. Shivani.

The splendid documentary support and the smooth communication by the SCI team.

The warmhearted cooperation and the devoted care

of the fetus by the Surrogate Mother and the social & medical team.

You can find every single KEY here at Surrogacy Centre India.

Thank you all who gave us priceless gifts.

Hope more people to be blessed with children with your help.

With Love,

K, M, our daughters M & R

We wish this family the choicest of blessings,

Babies born in September!

From India : Twins, a boy and a girl!

These words shared reflect the journey of many who seek surrogacy treatment...

I and my wife extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr Shivani and her team for the phenomenal contribution in adding happiness to our life. 

You made our dream come true. You have presented us the best gift by making our family complete. By your grace and noble deed we have been blessed by our very own twins through surrogacy.  

It was almost for the last eight years that we were trying for second baby. It failed due to cervix incompetency. We had a preterm baby (26 weeks) which survived for 24 hours. Following this we tried IVF which resulted in miscarriage.

By God’s grace I got in touch with ISIS Dr Shivani and her team in 2011. This was a turning point which culminated with twins, a baby girl and a baby boy.

Here I would like to share experience. During the course of pregnancy one of the twin developed focus in the ultrasound image in 22nd week. This vanished away by 31^st week. 

Both babies joined us in 33^rd week of the pregnancy. Their birth weights were 1.5 Kg and 1.9 Kg for baby boy and baby girl respectively. Both are doing good and in two weeks they have picked up weight to 2 Kg and 2.5 Kg.

Godspeed

Vivek

From Australia: a dream come true with the arrival of a son.

As with many of our families, this one has struggled with many years of battling infertility. All of us at SCI are privileged to be part of this happy ending...

"Dear Dr Shivani and all staff at SCI

After a miscarriage and three years of failed IVF attempts my husband and I never thought our dream of having a family would come true.  I just couldn't imagine a life without a child, it felt so empty.  My girlfriend mentioned surrogacy - something that I thought was only achievable by the rich and famous.

Not knowing where to start I emailed a few clinics in India and received an immediate response from SCI.  From there I couldn't believe how fast things moved. Within five weeks we were in India meeting the lovely Dr Shivani and her professional team.  Less than nine months later we were back in Delhi holding our gorgeous wee boy, Tanu in our arms.  I still cant believe how lucky we are and our dreams wouldn't have come true without SCI and our lovely surrogate Renuka.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Linnet, Seane and Tanu "

We wish this family the choicest of blessings, and as with all our families, we are with you until you leave Delhi...

I appreciate all of the support and assistance of your clinic staff throughout this process. It helped a great deal knowing that you all had my back.  Much thanks. I also wanted to commend Lalit, Jyoti and whoever else helped with the FRRO issue.  Their willingness to jump in and solve problems made all the difference.  Please thank them for me.


We will be flying out tomorrow afternoon.  Overall this has been a wonderful experience, and I am going to miss India and Delhi a great deal - but I'm looking forward to getting back to my own home.

From Australia : a letter to a daughter

A touching letter from a mother to a daughter...

 

To our dearest Isla,

I feel privileged to be your Mummy. Your Daddy and I dreamt about you way before you were ever a reality. Having a baby is a big decision, but having a baby through surrogacy is like handing over your heart to someone else. Every breath is harder when you entrust (through limited choice) your baby to another woman. The statement below summarises how we feel about you.

 While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about - Angela Schwindt

 
The journey to have you has made Mummy and Daddy and those around us grow as people. The birth of you Isla made Mummy and Daddy's love even stronger because having you in India gave us a different future, a bigger brighter one filled with endless opportunity and wonder. India gave us the gift of a baby. While you grew in Santosh's tummy, we grew in life too.

 

India, Santosh and Dr Shivani showed us what kindness is all about. I often stood in India shaking my head at how I had never had the opportunity to see life differently. Differently in India was beautiful Isla. India didn't have what I was used to in terms of my life but it had more, way more. To see mothers in India with their children made me want to be a better mother, better woman.

 

Santosh had made a decision to better her family, her daughters life. To provide a life for her that her current situation couldn't provide. India didn't have the opportunity to provide as easy as other countries and she told me she wanted to do what she knew she could do well and that was carry a baby. You. 

 

There may be times when you meet people who do not agree with Surrogacy when you tell them about how you were born but you need to carry with you that in life your story is yours. You never have to justify how or why but always know you were desperately wanted and loved. It has been said that surrogates (commercial agreements) only do it for money, but I can assure you that if that was the reason Santosh originally wanted to do it, having you changed that.

 

The day you were born was miraculous. I sat (paced) in the hospital waiting room with people I didn't know. It wasn't until Santosh's carer Rohan came out to let me know that you were still being born that they all cheered and told me they were Santosh's family and that they were so proud of her. They were in awe of what she was doing for us and for them. That changed me forever. I never saw life the same way again. Here we were, two women, two mothers. 

 

Although I carried your sisters in my tummy, I felt incredibly bonded to your growth in Santosh's tummy. When I held you in my arms the first time Isla, you were mine and it felt the same the day your sisters were born when I held them. 

 

I remember the days after you were born like yesterday. Santosh unwrapped you from your baby blanket, took off you clothes to count your fingers and toes then wrapped you up, kissed your forehead and handed you to me. Nothing was said but the smile on her face is etched in my mind. She had wanted to hand you to me after she saw you were perfect, and you were.  

 

I felt incredibly honoured to have a connection with Santosh. When Santosh's daughter told me she had loved you the entire time you were in her Mummy's tummy and that she had loved you for me I knew that life had given me the greatest of gifts, you and her. I admired her strength and as a woman I had put my faith in her (blindly) and the result was you.

 

Our beautiful Isla. I say 'our' because you are not mine, but both of ours. Without me there would be no you, without her there would be no you and you are perfect. We love you Isla and hope that you continue to grow up kind, happy and tolerant to those who have 'different' lives than you, be it class, race, religion, sexual preference, divorced families and so on. That is all we want for you. We all have different stories in life, it is just how it is told. 

 

When you sat in Santosh's arms when you were 8 months old I watched you stare at her and you both smiled. I wanted to freeze time and watch that for longer. There was a connection there that will never be broken through time or distance. 

 

Isla they say it takes a village to raise a baby and we are so lucky that we belong to a surrogacy village. Other families who you will identify with, other children who were loved and dreamt of like you, including your sisters J & E. You are special Isla. We love you and so do many others. 

 Love your Mummy.
