The full-service customized process We have helped many prospective parents over the past 6 years, and have gained lots of experience with this extraordinary process. We have a full understanding of how international surrogacy works and who the various parties involved in the process are. Our wide range of expertise and our strong commitment are why we offer the ultimate solutions in this field. For instance, with us you are able to choose from a wide pool of gestational carriers with immediate availability before committing yourself to an agency! This way you are guaranteed a quicker process and a full understanding of all the costs involved upfront. As part of our service, we tailor and manage the process around your personal needs from the moment you decide to start this exciting journey until you return home with your child. Baby Bloom coordinates with all parties involved, maximizing the success of the process and minimizing its risks. Among other things, our solutions will allow you to choose a clinic which guarantees 100% medical success. This means that regardless of how many attempts it takes, you are guaranteed a child at a fixed medical cost.

2 Our services include: A perfect process, tailored around your personal needs. Detailed explanations regarding the requirements and significance of each step of the process, and guidance through them. Creating an estimated timetable for the full process and its costs. Connecting you with the clinic, local and U.S. based lawyers, the surrogacy agency and the egg donation agency. Supporting you in choosing the right gestational carrier and egg donor. Talking you through all U.S. insurance aspects that need to be considered. Offering advice on the advantages and disadvantages of various circumstances you will face during the process. Helping you prepare for your trips to the U.S. Helping you understand how to reduce costs. Negotiating with the various parties involved in the process. We act on behalf of our prospective parents, and mediate throughout the process with the clinic, surrogacy and egg donor agencies, the surrogate and the legal team, ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possible. Choosing a gestational carrier: First, we will help you define who your ideal gestational carrier is and what criteria best suits your needs (e.g. How far from the clinic does she live? Is she willing to carry twins or just a singleton? How fast can we move forward? What is the budget? Etc.). Next, we will present you with some candidates who best suit your needs. Once you have selected your ideal candidate we will be able to finalize her costs (both fixed and variable ones) and, where possible, negotiate these costs with the agency. We will then set up a Skype call for you to meet your gestational carrier (don't worry, we will be present in order to help you with the potential awkwardness of the situation). We will oversee the gestational carrier's screening process, ensuring all medical, psychological and criminal assessments are properly done. We will also have experts examine her insurance and make sure that everything is in order. We will advise you on the legal agreement with the gestational carrier. Our advice, being based on extensive experience, will ensure you suggest the most beneficial amendments to be implemented when necessary. Finally, we will support you in managing and maintaining the relationship with your gestational carrier throughout the entire process.

3 Choosing an egg donor: First, we will provide you with logins to various egg donor databases and help you define the easiest criteria for selecting your donor. We will then go over your shortlist making sure all relevant aspects have been considered. Next, we will get in touch with the agency, the clinic, the doctors and the geneticists on your behalf and obtain all additional information regarding your selected candidate. If needed, we will obtain the costs and agreements required to move forward with a specific donor. Finally, we will deal with the clinic and make sure the egg donation process and the creation of the embryos go as smoothly as possible. The IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) process: We will assist you with reaching a legal agreement with the clinic of your choice. We will offer assistance in making decisions concerning all the medical procedures (consultation concerning the transfer of frozen or fresh embryos, advanced genetic tests, etc.). We will coordinate visits to the clinic for freezing sperm, egg donation and blood tests as required by FDA standards. We will help coordinate other tests when necessary (e.g. SPAR treatment for HIV positive prospective parents). Finally, we will help track both the gestational carrier and the egg donor IVF process, including monitoring their scheduled medications and clinical appointments. Guidance throughout the pregnancy and childbirth: We will be there to advise you throughout the entire pregnancy process. We will receive regular updates from the clinic and offer advice when difficult decisions must be taken (non-absorbing pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth and any complications that may arise). We will help you arrange the trip in time for your child's birth. We will offer solutions on how to obtain an American passport, and get you in touch with U.K. and U.S. based lawyers who will assist you on both ends with the legal aspects. Immediately after the birth of your child we will make sure the relevant and necessary insurance is purchased for her/him.

4 2. Medical success - 100% guarantee to have a child The medical procedure is the most expensive part of the process and a major financial risk. A failed cycle leads to additional expenses on top of the costs of the actual medical procedure (additional fees for the gestational carrier, attorney, etc.). Why do we choose the U.S.? U.S. clinics are under the supervision of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. SART provides statistics of all clinics, and this allows you to have a full understanding of who you are dealing with. The Las Vegas Fertility Center boasts a very high success rate and unique records regarding the gestational carrier/egg donation processes. Most importantly, the Las Vegas Fertility Center offers a revolutionary 100% guarantee to have a child at a fixed medical cost, regardless of how many attempts it takes. Thanks to the outstanding cooperation we have with the Las Vegas team we are able to the personal guidance of some of the best IVF physicians in the world to all our prospective parents. Both the clinic's physicians, Dr. Bruce Shapiro and Dr. Said Daneshmand, are world renowned IVF researchers who have helped create the leading IVF protocols followed by most clinics around the world today. Why the success rate is so high: Selecting great donors - All donors are healthy, fertile and carefully selected, so that the number of high quality eggs is maximized. Both the gestational carrier and the prospective parents are meticulously screened. You and your future child are in the hands of two of the leading IVF physicians in the world. Using state of the art technology and protocols when dealing with the embryos ensures the success rate is maximized while the risks of first trimester abortions are minimized.

5 3. Full control of the process - select your gestational carrier first! Baby Bloom understands how important it is to find the right gestational carrier who suits your needs. Therefore, we present you with a selection of immediately available candidates in the U.S. This provides you with a faster process and full control of the entire process. By selecting a gestational carrier in this fashion, you are able to gain full understanding of her costs from the very start. This way if a particular agency presents you with only one candidate, her insurance, legal factors and integrity are not compromised. It is important to say that choosing a gestational carrier in advance makes the process clearer right off the bat. You will also, thereby, gain a full understanding of the timelines, costs and of who your carrier is before having to pay a substantial amount of money. Upon choosing a gestational carrier you will then simply need to select an egg donor and let the clinic do its magic (which guarantees you a 100% success rate in any case). Below are the main differences between a traditional process (traditional prearranged product) and the process which allows you to select a gestational carrier first (custom - tailored process): Traditional Pre - Arranged Product Custom-Tailored Process Costs Timeframe for selecting a gestational carrier Gestational carrier selection stage Only a small part of the costs can be estimated upfront. Costs such as insurance, travel expenses, legal framework, and so on can only be clarified once a gestational carrier has been selected months, depending on the agency you choose to work with. You will be presented with one candidate after an unknown period of time. This selection will be influenced by the current workload of the agency, costs, legal factors and insurance status of the candidate. All costs are known in advance. This process is flexible and can provide on the spot solutions to suit your personal needs and budget. You are presented immediately with a selection of available and pre - screened surrogates. You are presented with a variety of suitable and available candidates who match your personal criteria. Agency Clinic The agency is unable to commit to a specific timeframe, or guarantee the gestational carrier s conditions and expected costs.furthermore, as the gestational carrier at this stage has not yet been selected, there is great uncertainty regarding the legal status of the process and the type of insurance required. Despite the above, in order to begin the process, you are still required to pay a deposit and commit to this agency. Only one clinic is recommended and no explanation regarding the pros and cons of this particular clinic is Our Gestational Carriers come from a variety of agencies. Therefore, the agency you are committing to work with is determined by your choice of gestational carrier. You will only be required to pay the agency's fee once you're able to move forward with the gestational carrier you have selected. You are free to choose from a variety of clinics, based on your personal needs.
