At Miracle Angels Resolution, we understand that starting the newborn documentation process — especially after a surrogacy birth in the U.S. — can feel overwhelming. That’s why your first consultation with us isn’t just about answering questions — it’s the beginning of a detailed, step-by-step plan tailored to your unique situation.
If you're wondering “What happens after I schedule my first consultation?”, this post walks you through exactly how we prepare for you behind the scenes.
1. We Review Your Family’s Situation and Surrogacy Details
After the initial consultation call, we begin by gathering the essential case information:
- Intended Parents’ full names, passport information, and contact details
- Surrogate’s name, contact information, and due date
- Birth state and delivery hospital
- Travel or immigration needs (e.g., China Travel Document or U.S. Passport)
This allows us to map out the specific state-based newborn paperwork process, which can vary significantly depending on where your baby is born.
2. We Create Your Customized Document Timeline
Every family has different timelines, depending on when the baby is due, where the surrogate lives, and whether both parents will be present in the U.S.
We’ll build a personalized document roadmap that includes:
- When to apply for the birth certificate
- Whether a Pre-Birth Order or Post-Birth Order is needed
- When to initiate passport or travel document applications
- Whether notarization or apostille services will be required
- Estimated processing times and shipping windows
3. We Prepare the First Round of Forms and Instructions
Once your situation is reviewed, we begin assembling the forms and next steps, including:
- A checklist of required documents
- Intake forms (for SSN, birth certificate, or passport)
- Power of Attorney templates (if parents are not present)
- Instructions for DNA kit coordination (if required)
- Chinese Travel Document application support (if applicable)
We also provide clear communication guidelines on how to coordinate with your surrogate, hospital, and any agencies involved.
4. We Set Up Communication Channels
We’ll invite you into a communication group with our coordination team so you can easily track document progress, ask questions, and share updates in real-time. This ensures nothing falls through the cracks — even when you're in a different country or time zone.
We also reach out to your surrogate and case manager (if applicable) to ensure everyone is aligned on the timeline and responsibilities.
By the time the baby arrives, your document process will already be in motion. Our goal is simple: no delays, no guesswork, and no stress. Book a free consultation today and let us help you build your personalized newborn documentation plan.
