Question 1

What is the difference between traveling to the United States for egg retrieval and choosing international egg transportation when pursuing sperm donation and self-carry?

Accepted Answer

For lesbian couples or single women, the key differences between these two approaches lie in the number of trips to the United States, timeline, and overall flexibility.

If you choose to travel to the U.S. for egg retrieval, the IVF and PGT-A process typically requires about 6–8 weeks before embryos are ready for transfer. Most intended mothers return to Taiwan to rest and recover, then travel back to the United States for the embryo transfer procedure. This pathway usually involves multiple international trips.

By contrast, if you choose international egg transportation, you may complete egg retrieval and freezing in Taiwan first. After the eggs are shipped to the United States and embryos are created, you would only need to travel to the U.S. when the embryos are ready for transfer — significantly reducing travel frequency and time commitment.

This option is often preferred by:

Women who have already frozen their eggs in Taiwan
Single women or couples with limited schedules
Those who wish to minimize international travel

Question 3

Why are there differences in costs for surrogate mothers?

Accepted Answer

The cost difference mainly comes from the compensation required by the surrogate mother, and the remaining attorney fees, insurance premiums, and sunshine management fees are almost the same.

Question 4

When should payment be made?

Accepted Answer

After confirming the choice of Sunshine to serve you, you will sign a contract with Sunshine and pay the Sunshine service coordination fee of USD10,000. Then sign a contract with the medical center and pay the medical center-related expenses. After the surrogate mother confirms and signs the contract, she must first pay a part of the fee. The surrogate mother undergoes a physical examination and takes medications, and all expenses must be paid before the transplant.
