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 "

From the U.S: on our way home...

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.

Our adventure began in the summer of 2012, when we visited SCI for the first time. Now, a year later, our dream has come true, as we have two beautiful babies: Indigo and Violette, born two months apart with eggs from the same donor.

 We are forever grateful to SCI staff, Dr Shivani, Eden Hospital and to our incredible surrogates for helping us, and for making the whole process a pleasure as well as a thrill! 

Thank you!

Tusen takk!

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.

From Australia : Two years on and now a book!

It is amazing where your journey will take you...

“SURROGACY IN INDIA- DREAMS CAN COME TRUE”

My husband and I had our daughter through SCI Healthcare back in 2010. I have since written a book and had it published here in Australia called ‘Surrogacy In India’- Dreams can come true’. It is our story as well as a self help book explaining from start to finish about doing surrogacy in India, all of the tests, paperwork needed etc. This book is available for purchase as a printed copy or as an e-book on the following site.  

www.palmerhiggsbooks.com.au/index.php/surrogacy-in-india.html

Information from the Author

My husband and I embarked on a journey of a lifetime to make our dream come true, to get the baby we so desired, but could not conceive the natural way.

We are based in South Australia and our baby was conceived in a lab and began her life in the womb of a surrogate mother in New Delhi, India. Travelling overseas was our only hope of Shane having a child of his own.

Surrogacy in India shares our journey and provides practical information to help you make your dream come true. You will learn where to start, what to expect along the way and how to get your baby(ies) home with you, safe and sound to start your new family life. 

It is not always an easy journey, but in the end, it is well worth it.

 

From Australia : Twins to two joyous Dads

A pigeon pair returned safely home to their family and friends, just in time for their first photo shoot...

To SCI Healthcare and dr. Shivani,

                                                  It only seems like yesterday that we were on a plane Delhi bound to start the journey of becoming a family.

 

After meeting Dr. Shivani and her team it was an easy decision to go ahead and start the process. On the 27th of June 2013, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful twins, otto and Leni.

 

We could never thank Dr. Shivani and her lovely team enough for this wonderful gift of life, the process was made easy with the admin staff and there very prompt replies to all our emails.

 

The gift of life must truly be the ultimate gift, and that is what Dr. Shivani and her team do.

We will never forget you all!

Jay, Jeremy, Leni and Otto xxxxxxx

From the USA: A father meeting his son for the first time

Some photos just stay with you, this is one of them. After waiting for so long, to finally meet your child...

Dear Dr. Shivani,

A mere thank you seems wholly inappropriate in this situation, but nothing we can do or say can possibly measure up to what you have given us..."Lex", the first blessing we count every day.

 

After failed infertility treatments and failed adoptions, we came to you with a pocket full of hope. Less than nine months later, we have a healthy son of our very own!

 

Your team gave us unwavering support throughout the entire process and bent over backwards to make sure we made it home in time for my husband to meet Lex before returning to Afghanistan. 

 

Even though we are eternally grateful for what you, your team, and our surrogate have already given us, we have complete confidence that we will be back in Delhi for another baby pick-up. 

 

With the sincerest of thanks,

BLT

 

 

We wish this family the choicest of blessings and pray for the safe return home of this father to his family.

Breaking News: Legal Challenge to ban on single intended parents

BREAKING NEWS FOR SINGLE INTENDED PARENTS

A Sudanese Man is challenging  the changes made to visa applications which prohibit single clients from accessing surrogacy services in India. The final decision of the courts may take 2-3 years to determine.

However, if the courts grant a stay on the particular notification which prohibits surrogacy for single people, this stay will be applicable to all States of India because the notification is common across all States.

This would grant interim relief to all single clients and allow treatment to recommence.

From Spain: new Papa's and beautiful twins

One Spanish family's reflection on their journey with SCI...

SPANISH

Hoy hace 10 semanas que nacieron nuestros queridos hijos Gael y Jimena en el Hospital Eden de Delhi. Son dos bebés sanos y muy simpáticos, que nos hacen inmensamente felices.

Fue difícil tomar la decisión de ser padres mediante subrogación y elegir una clínica que nos diese confianza. Sin embargo, la clínica SCI y su genial equipo humano lo hizo todo mucho más sencillo. Nos han atendido con cariño y eficiencia antes, durante y después del embarazo, facilitando en todo momento nuestro bienestar y el de nuestros hijos. También nos consta que han cuidado con cariño y respeto de la maravillosa mujer que ha gestado a nuestros hijos, algo que era muy importante para nosotros.

Sabemos que los nuevos cambios introducidos por el Gobierno Indio en la normativa de visados hace difícil la subrogación para los españoles, pero no desistáis y luchad por vuestro sueño porque realmente merece la pena. Y confiad en SCI, pues aunque puedan surgir algunas diferencias culturales, son gente estupenda y muy buenos profesionales que os ayudarán en lo que necesitéis. Si contactáis directamente con ellos sin agencias intermediarias, mucho mejor. Os pueden facilitar todo lo necesario.

El hecho de ser una pareja homosexual nunca condicionó el trato recibido, que fue siempre respetuoso y en igualdad de condiciones que una pareja heterosexual.

Si tuviésemos que empezar de nuevo, elegiríamos sin duda a SCI. Muchas gracias a la Dra. Shivani, al Dr.Vishal, Jyoti, Lalit, Gourav, Neha, Yogita y Rachna. Os estaremos eternamente agradecidos.

Saludos desde Murcia,  España, de parte de Juan, Pedro, Gael y Jimena.

ENGLISH

Today it has been 10 weeks since our loved babies Gael and Jimena were born at Eden Hospital in Delhi. They are two healthy and very nice babies, who make us really happy.

It was hard to take the decision of becoming parents through surrogacy and to choose a clinic which  produces confidence. Nevertheless, SCI clinic and its great team made everything much easier. They assisted us with tenderness and efficiency before, during and after pregnancy, helping both us and our children to feel comfortable. We already noted they looked after our surrogate mother with love and respect, and that was very important for us.

We know that new guidelines issued by Indian Government regarding visa requirements makes more difficult surrogacy for Spaniards, but do not give  up and struggle for your dream to come true because it is really worth it. And do trust SCI, as although some cultural differences may come up, they are wonderful people and great professionals which will help you in everything you need. You better contact directly with them without any intermediary agency. They can provide you with everything.

Being a gay couple never affected how we were treated, which turned out to be always respectful and in the same way as a heterosexual couple.

If we had to begin now again, we would definitely choose SCI. Thank you very much to Dr. Shivani, Dr. Vishal, Jyoti, Lalit, Gourav, Neha, Yogita y Rachna. We will always be grateful to you.

Greetings from Murcia,  Spain, from Juan, Pedro, Gael and Jimena.

From Australia: a beautiful baby girl ( and two gorgeous cousins)

There is nothing as precious as when friends recommend us to friends, but when family recommends us to family, we know that we have done something special to have gained such trust...



Two cousins and SCI babies 30mths apart

“We have never been so happy as the night we got the call from Dr Shivani to say we had a healthy baby girl. We can’t thank Dr Shivani and all the team at SCI enough for helping us achieve our dream. We will always remember the babies we lost along the way but holding baby Samantha in our arms for the first time lessened the pain and brought us so much happiness it’s hard to describe.

 

My sister and her husband have a 2 and a half year old daughter also born through surrogacy with SCI in 2011 and we know they will always share a very special bond not only as cousins but also because of how they came into this world. Alyssa is very excited to have a baby cousin and constantly wants to help with feeding, nappy changing and ‘holding it’.

 

Thank you so much for our little miracle. We can’t wait to get her home to meet the rest of our family.

 

Amanda & Shane,

From the U.S - a gorgeous baby boy

We have many families coming to us battered and scared with a history of failed fertility treatments; SCI gives out hope that things can be different , as it was with this family

Thank you SCI  !!

We showed up at your doorstep scared and broken. You welcomed us with such open arms and hospitality and offered such precious HOPE. Egg retrieval & IVF went smoothly and we retrieved 14 eggs-and now one of those precious eggs is our stunning son !

We thank you and thank god for the blessing of bringing you into our lives. We pray that all of your dreams come true, as our have.

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
