Watching World Cup Match With The SI Team.

We, the SI Team decided to watch World Cup Match in a different way this time. We all went to nice restaurant………. AND AND AND!!! We had a blast watching the world cup match at the Hotel .......... with the whole BIG TEAM SI. We all were cheering our Indian Team and yes they won too... Well i guess our efforts got paid off and our Indian Team won the World Cup this year after 28 years. The last victory was in 1983.
The game started very well with Indian Team, but their performance suddenly plateaued, which made everyone worried. There was a point where we felt that the game is no more in our hands. We all started losing hope. But being true Indians somewhere down the heart we had hoped the best for our Team. As it is said that every cloud has a silver lining, Indians as they are expected to rise from the fall, started playing very well. But, must say Sri Lankans gave us a very tough competition. We really appreciated their effort.
The feeling was awesome we couldn’t control our happiness and joy. We ate, we cheered, we danced, we whistled but we were praying hard for our team. All of the prayers paid off and we won. The feelings can’t be ever expressed in words. It is still fresh in our minds.

Heaviest Baby Born In SI

1Recently two of our surrogates gave birth to SI’s heaviest babies.

 SM ...... delivered twin girls both were weighing 3.2 kgs (approx) each. The parents couldn’t control their emotions. They were feeling very happy. Their joy was visible on their face. We noticed one thing their father didn’t miss even a single moment, everything was captured in camera. Even the SI Team members had a very good time when they came down to our office.

Another SM delivered a single baby who weighed the heaviest with 4kgs, which is rare to find in India even when it is a natural delivery. So for us it was a lucky day for the whole SI Team. We all were very proud that day.
This shows that the surrogates took very good care of their health and were living a very healthy lifestyle.

SI Women's Day


It was just an idea which came in one of our colleague’s mind, which when got executed was one of the best celebration we had till date.
Women’s Day means recognizing women power. Our surrogates and egg donors are those who have faced a lot in their life and are still going strong. We all salute them for their effort they put to improve their family’s financial condition.

We even conducted small activities to entertain them. Some of the surrogates participated and sung beautiful songs, did some interesting plays, got some tasty mouth watering dish for the competition and danced till the end. As it was their day we tried our level best to make them feel special. We organized a party where they could show case their hidden talents, which was actually surprising to all of us. We really appreciate their effort for this. This wouldn’t have been successful without the participation of our surrogates and egg donors. They made it happen.

I can say that it also one of the best example for Team Work, because it wouldn’t have been possible just by one person. The whole Team SI came together to make that day one of the memorable day in SI.

Cheers !!!....







Key Things That Made Us Go with SI .. By a Client

We as Team SI have always tried our best in providing our patients, good and standardized service. Below are the few lines, which one of our client expressed about how they feel about us in one of our email. It makes us feel 'Proud'. Thank you so much for loving Team SI.


Dear Dr. Sudhir,

It is truly a joy for me to be a tiny part of your success. Just keep up the good spirit of letting everyone feel special and important! :) There were/are some key things that made us go with SI and why we have been so satisfied. One of these things was that it was you as founder and MD, who took the time to answer all of my 3 millions of questions, never letting me feel troublesome or stupid. I know it is a hard work for you!  Also, both you and Dr.Yash always thought about the best chances for us, never pushing us to start the process earlier. I still remember how you both wrote to me to take my time with weaning Jenni because it could be emotional for both of us. It still warms my heart when I think of your words. As we were new and about to make our choice of clinic, many other clinics sent us some standard "copy-paste" replies or replied very short and incomplete, also letting us wait in weeks. It is hard to build up trust in such a delicate matter, especially if you never have met each others in person and you are thousands of kilometers apart. Copy-paste replies just don't work.
We really got this family-feeling when we visited SI, everybody working in same direction, for the "good thing" and we never got this  "baby-fabric-feeling" that the Swedish media so keenly wants to serve about surrogacy in India. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are both good and bad clinics in India, just as everywhere in the world. It was wonderful for us to learn that you take truly good care of your surrogates, they are as important as the IP's. And of course, that you carefully choose out your SM. This has to be a win-win situation for both IP's and SM, other ways it would be very wrong. We also had so good experience with both your lawyer, Amit and your kind drivers, Vikas and Ajit. Last but definitely not the least, we truly enjoyed spending time with you and Dr. Yash in Mumbai. You are such wonderful persons and I'm so happy to know you!
  
Great hugs and lots of good energy to you all - including our SM. We are awaiting our scan result with great excitement!
Anu

Parents from UK, Child from (Surrogacy) India

Intended parents Mr & Mrs B T, visited India last year to select a surrogate and have child of their own genes. The couple had tried numerous clinics in UK to get pregnant through various IVF procedures. Having failed after putting the best efforts to pursue surrogacy in UK, this couple never lost faith and trust to have a child and established India as their dream destination.
This is the story of many couples in UK who are unable to get around the legal system, financial costs or the waiting period in UK.
How many of these couples are aware of the laws for the child born outside UK, through surrogacy program?
Three stages for understanding Surrogacy in India for parents from UK

Basic requirement of the couple: The couple needs to be a married couple or either of them has to be domicile of UK to apply for parental order in UK. In married case, it is the domicile of the father which will be considered for parental order. In case the couple is not married, it will be considered as single parent Surrogacy.
It is the primary responsibility of the seeking couple to speak to UK embassy and / or legal team before taking this giant step.
Kindly also see the HFEA (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) code of practice in UK.

Understanding Indian scenario: The couple has to be very patient and should contact the right agency in India who understand and have complete information about surrogacy’s legal system in both the countries, India and UK. They should not get carried away by promises made by clinics about the higher pregnancy chances from their surrogate mothers. In fact most of the clinics across the world have the same rate of positive pregnancy in Surrogacy programs. The couple looking for surrogate mother should also focus at long term goals if the clinic / agency will provide any assistance for visa / passport preparation.

Traveling back to UK: The couple will travel to UK with their baby on visa obtained from UK Embassy in India. For obtaining the passport, it is crucial that the birth certificate declares the names of the intended parents and not the surrogate mother. Parental order process progresses along with. In case the parents are not married or not domiciled in UK, they have no option but to adopt the child.
In all cases it is imperative to inform the Home Office, UK

To read more about the above information, Surrogacy in India and understand the complete process visit www.surrogacyindia.com. SurrogacyIndia, is the first and only such organization in India who understands and make possible, completing families, for these couples from UK. They have an associate in UK to facilitate intended parents activities in UK.

Our Journey with Surrogacy India

We have had a long journey to begin our family. Much of our search turned up empty when looking into options. IUI, IVF, International and domestic adoption, and surrogacy here in the United States all lead us to a dead end. Even when we finally decided to pursue surrogacy in India we came up short of answers. That was until we found Dr. Sudhir and Dr. Yashodhara with Surrogacy India.
Don’t get me wrong we had our fears of a phony website created for desperate couples searching for answers. Not to mention, that us Westerners are probably inherently more non trusting then most other cultures. Both Gerry and I will definitely admit that any of the small fears, doubts and anxieties that we still had after our long phone conversations and numerous internet contact with both of the Docs immediately faded away when we met both of them in person in India. We were more than impressed and pleased.
One of the most common questions we get is ‘Was there anything that disappointed you about India or Surrogacy India?’ We have searched long and hard for anything and honestly have said over and over that, ‘NO, absolutely nothing, in fact we were pleasantly surprised and thrilled with our entire experience.
With that said… we have graciously accepted the offer to provide others with answers and give hope in their own personal journey toward surrogacy. So if you have ANY questions of either of us about our experience please don't hesitate to ask. Also, take a moment to visit our personal BLOG about our own journey: http://ourjourneytosurrogacyinindia.blogspot.com/
Welcome to Surrogacy India we are glad you visited.
