Specialized Conflict Resolution for Every Stage
Mediation provides an opportunity work through issues collaboratively at every stage of the surrogacy journey:
Pre-Journey/Pre-Pregnancy
Address shared expectations, help align the relationship from the beginning. Facilitate crucial conversations about communication styles/frequency, relationship boundaries, expectations for the medical process, and how to set up your journey for success.
During Pregnancy
When communication stalls or disagreements arise - from disputes over medical issues, lifestyle choices, or financial issues - specialized surrogacy mediation can de-escalate tension and guide parties to a durable, mutually agreed-upon solution to keep your journey on track.
Post-Birth and Transition
Ensure a smooth transition in the final stages of your journey together by helping refin relationship boundaries, clarify any contractual discussions, and mediate final arrangements for communication for this final step of this journey - as all move onto their next journey.
