Circle Surrogacy & Egg Donation is a US-based surrogacy and egg donation agency headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.[1][2][3] Circle Surrogacy carries an audited success rate for intended parents having a baby at 99.3%.[4][5]

History

Circle Surrogacy was founded in 1995 in Boston, Massachusetts by John Weltman. Prior to establishing the agency, Weltman and his husband had children through surrogacy.[6]

Circle Surrogacy’s first baby was born to a heterosexual couple from Massachusetts.[7] Circle Surrogacy delivered its first baby born to a single gay man and first gestational surrogate baby born to a heterosexual couple.[8]

  • From 1995 to 2000, John Weltman operates as the facilitator for surrogacy, and during this time period, Circle Surrogacy began to help people find egg donors for pure egg donation.[9]
  • 2010 - Circle moves out of the law offices at Lawson & Weitzen and into its present home in downtown Boston.
  • 2019 - Circle reaches its 2000th baby birth.[13]

Circle Surrogacy provides services for intended parents & gestational carriers from the application and screening process through post-birth.[9][10] As a full-service agency founded by a lawyer, Circle Surrogacy also provides legal services for clients in any of the surrogacy programs that Circle Surrogacy & Egg Donation provides.[14]

Intended parents program

Option Consideration under the Intended Parents Program are as follows:

  • Gestational Surrogacy
  • Gestational Surrogacy with Egg Donation

Circle Surrogacy follows the strict guidelines established by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).[15] The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of reproductive medicine. It provides a forum for the public, researchers, physicians and affiliated health workers through education, publications, and meetings.

The types of intended parents' surrogate mothers help are:

  1. Heterosexual couples who have struggled with infertility
  2. Intended mothers who are unable to carry a child
  3. Intended parents, who have a genetic defect or health condition they don't want to pass onto the child
  4. Same sex intended parents who want to have a genetic link to the baby

Surrogate applicants also participate in screenings with a social worker and complete psychological testing.[16]

Egg donor programs

Circle Surrogacy offers an Egg Donor Program for persons who want to donate eggs or who need an egg donor.[17]

Industry scope historical review

Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman agrees to bear a child for another person or persons, who will become the child's parent after birth. [18][19] The surrogacy industry originally started as early as 1978, when the first baby was successfully conceived through an IVF transfer.[20]

In 1980, an establishment for a “compensated-surrogacy” was concluded, reporting a successful transition, outlining an agreement between the two parties (traditional surrogate and the intended parents) rewarding a total of $10,000 to successfully carry and deliver a baby for the intended couples/parents.[21]

Technological advancements led to increased surrogacy methodologies. The number of surrogacy agencies increased, providing surrogacy services for both females and males, regardless of their sexual preferences or orientation.[22]
