Frequently asked questions
Questions U.S. patients often ask
What is ROPA?
ROPA is a form of reciprocal IVF in which one partner may provide the eggs and the other may carry the pregnancy, following medical evaluation.
Do both partners need testing?
Yes. The types of testing differ according to each partner’s role, health history, age, and the clinic’s protocol.
Is donor sperm included?
Donor sperm, shipping, storage, and related testing may be separate. The clinic should confirm which banks or donor pathways it can accept.
Do we need legal advice?
Family and parentage rules can depend on citizenship, residence, marital status, and evolving Colombian and U.S. law. Independent legal advice is strongly recommended.
How long will we be in Colombia?
The schedule depends on where monitoring occurs and whether both partners need to be present for specific appointments. Confirm the clinical calendar before travel.
