From Australia : Perfection

Enough said...

Dr Shivani and team,

Please accept our eternal thanks for making little Lilah Nilma possible. Although she came into the world a fair few weeks early, she is perfect in every way. We will send a family photo once we are all together,

Much love,

Marty and Grant

From the U.S: a beautiful baby girl

As with many families, the journey to SCI is not smooth or kind. It is with great joy and delight when we can help families achieve their much longed for dream and finally have their baby, this is one such family

Words cannot express how thankful we are to Dr. Shivani for creating the Surrogacy Program at SCI.  We realize that without this program we would not have been able to have our own biological child.  After more than 4 years of pursuing IVF in the U.S. unsuccessfully, with countless exams, doctors, tests, expenses and disappointments, we were resigned to the fact that a biological child was not in our future. Our last reproductive endocrinologist suggested that we try to use a gestational carrier as a final attempt before pursuing other options, as the cause of our recurrent early pregnancy loss was unclear.

With no knowledge of surrogacy, we scoured the internet for information.  After reviewing many options we were most impressed with the experience and success of Dr. Shivani's clinic.  The testaments on the SCI Clinic Blog were invaluable for both information and to inspire some confidence that surrogacy abroad was a viable, and in many ways, a better option for us than pursuing this in the USA. Armed with this knowledge and with a leap of faith, we traveled to New Delhi to visit the clinic and meet Dr. Shivani and the Staff in person. This visit helped us finalize our decision and we moved forward.

We followed Dr. Shivani's advice in terms of cycling and sending our frozen embryos to optimize our chances and the end result was the birth of our healthy daughter. It is very intimidating and stressful to be halfway around the world from your growing baby but the clinic gave us constant updates to ease our anxiety. When we returned to New Delhi for the birth of our child, the clinic had arranged everything for us, including advice on where to stay, sending a representative to meet us the day of her birth, and promptly processing the needed documentation for the process to return with our daughter to the U.S.

After the birth of our daughter, we had an opportunity to reunite with our surrogate and one of her children to give one last word of thanks. That brief meeting made the whole process come full circle and we left with the thought, " two families changed for the better, forever".

In particular, we would like to personally thank both Rachna and Gourav for their professionalism. Rachna helped us so much when we came to pick up our child... it was truly a pleasure working with her. She is a credit to the clinic.

Special thanks to all the bloggers as well as Meg and Margarida for giving us the feeling that this was a viable option.

Dr. Shivani, again, we cannot thank you enough.  You have given us a priceless gift.  Thank you for giving us this opportunity.  Thank you for you taking care of our growing child and surrogate.  Thank you for your compassion and medical expertise.

We are so in love with our beautiful daughter. We will let her know how you all helped her come into this world.

 We wish this special family the choicest of God's blessings.

From the U.S - twins and a family completed!

I will leave it to this family to express their joy for the wonderful addition to their family. We wish this family the choicest of God's blessings.

Dear Dr. Shivani and the rest of the SCI team,

The words "Thank You" don't quite seem enough for what you've given our new family. In fact, you've given us a family, and there really aren't enough words to describe the gratitude we feel toward you and your team, and the sheer joy you've brought into our lives. Everyday since their birth on Monday, we wake up, after very little sleep, feeling like we just hit the jackpot, especially after getting twins on the first try.

When we first started looking into the specifics of surrogacy, we were hesitant, to say the least. After meeting with some local clinics in the United States, we became a bit discouraged. And more so after looking into international options...until we came across countless wonderful comments about SCI on so many surrogacy blogs. But even though we were confident in your skills to help us start our family, we understood the odds of success.

Well, over these last 37+ weeks, you and your staff have lived up to all of our hopes, and each of the comments that lead us to SCI in the first place.  You've all done a fantastic job - from your clinical efforts, timely updates, finding our great surrogate (we're still amazed that such a small woman was able to carry twins for 37 weeks), to the team that helped us coordinate all the legal and necessary procedures to get our babies' passports and exit visas, and even the car service you work with (we just love Rahul and his team).

While it's not enough, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you've given us. We wish you all the best in helping other families experience the same happiness.

Home in 11 days, great news for U.S citizens with SCI

This makes what we do all worthwhile, another happy family. May you all receive the choicest of blessings

"We are thrilled with finally having a family. I was skeptical from the beginning and had many questions and and bit fearful something would go wrong or someone would take advantage of us. We hear so many horror stories about clinics and things in the world. We are happy to say Dr. Shivani and her team left us with a feeling of gratitude and contentment. We would recommend Dr. Shivani and her team (Megan and Margarita were invaluable to make the process smooth and less worrisome- thank you girls!) to anyone. We are so happy!

As for the pick up timing- We were in Delhi from April 30th to May 11th. 11 days! I think that is record time. What helped tremendously is the lawyer Mr Chawla. From the passport to Visa we had everything done in 5 days. We had already made an appointment with the American Embassy (Jan Dabney helped get that appointment) to get the passport, Mr Chawla and his wonderful team got the birth certificate and the Visa in about 3 working days after that. Australia takes weeks and England takes months so we feel very lucky!

Thank you Dr Shivani! We have the greatest gift that can be given because of you, a son, a family. For us, nothing is more important and can make life more full and meaningful.
