Fantastic news! Rhys got his exit stamp today and we are headed back to the states tomorrow night and should be in NY 7 AM Saturday. We couldn't have gotten it through as fast without Dr. Samit Sekhar, Anjani Kumar, and those at the Kiran InfertilityCenter. They are AMAZING! (Our exit stamp was the fastest it has even been processed!) Bringin' the Baby back home!

I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Kiran clinic for all the help and support during our stay in India. It was a long trip but we were well taken care of at your service apartment from every aspect; we were able to come home on time without any changes to our scheduled return flights because of your professionalism in handling the paperwork, prompt responses to my inquiries and difficulties, and quick reaction to unexpected events. I greatly appreciate everything. I am happy to have met so many new friends on this trip and come home safely and on time with my three beautiful daughters. Occasionally I would wonder whether I did the right thing as you can probably imagine having three babies at the same time is not an easy job, especially when I am so tired and my girls just wouldn't stop crying - but whenever I look at their faces, I know that I did the right thing and I am a very lucky man. I can't wait till the day they call me daddy and jump on my laps. They are absolutely adorable; everywhere we go they are the centre of the attention; everybody loves them! Thank you once again - you have my highest praise!

We had been married for 3 years when I had an operation which led to us not being able to have biological children the natural way. we started to look into possible infertility centers in India. It was fantastic having someone local (Hyderabad) who could actually have a look at prospective clinics and finally recommended Kiran Infertility Center in Hyderabad because the first impression he had of the clinic was very professional and helpful.

Unfortunately, I had only produced two reasonably good eggs which ultimately failed to lead to a pregnancy. We were devastated, but the clinic gave us the option of using an American egg donor they had worked with successfully before.

We were sent a picture of the lady with her beautiful girl. We immediately had the feeling that this was the right choice for us. The lady traveled to Hyderabad a few weeks later, three good quality eggs were implanted into our surrogate and two weeks later we received the fantastic news - we were pregnant!!!

At the end of February we traveled to Hyderabad again and on March 1 we finally met our two beautiful boys. As they were four weeks premature they had to spend 4 days at a state of the art children's hospital just around the corner from the clinic where they were looked after perfectly.

We then had to apply for passports for our sons which was a relatively lengthy process, but we got all the support we needed from Dr. Samit and his team. We are now back home with our boys and can not imagine life without them anymore.

We are so glad we decided to go ahead with the surrogacy process at Kiran Infertility Center and will always be grateful to everyone involved in making our dream come true - everyone at the clinic, the egg donor and of course the lady who was prepared to give us the most precious gift of all - a family of our own!

We first met Dr Kiran and Dr Samit in Barcelona ( Spain) at the annual ESHRE fertility conference in 2008 as we were looking to have IVF treatment using donor eggs and donor sperm. We were immediately impressed with their knowledge and obvious expertise in this field and traveled to India in September 2008. As a British couple we were made to feel extremely welcome in India. The clinic provided airport pickup and accommodation, as well as a member of staff who accompanied us for the first few days until we settled in.

The treatment we received was first class. The procedure was clearly explained to us and the doctors were available every day at the clinic or a phone call away at night.

Sadly our attempt at IVF was not successful, but the care understanding and constant support we received at the clinic means we will never give up and we will be returning to India very soon.

We wish to thank Dr Kiran and Dr Samit for their continued support and advice. If anyone would like to ask us any more questions about our experience or the clinic please email us.

Brad Fister and Michael's daughter, who they named Ashton, is the first surrogate child of an American couple in Hyderabad. Fister had come to Kiran Infertility Center last year when he donated his sperm which was fused with an egg donated by an Indian egg donor. The resultant embryo was then implanted in a surrogate mother and this entire procedure was carried out at KIC, a first such case of two dads. The child was delivered by the surrogate mother and Fister says the baby girl is his reflection with his “chin and lips’’.

For those like US citizen Brad Fister, surrogacy is a boon. An interior designer, Fister says he always wanted a baby but adoption norms in the US are difficult. He came to Kiran Infertility Center, Hyderabad ( India) after watching an Oprah Winfrey Show episode on surrogacy. For many couples, India is also a safe haven given that commercial surrogacy was legalised in 2002. Besides, the country has an additional advantage of the biological mother not staking claim to the child.

But if half the battle was about a pregnancy clicking, the remaining half was about getting the paperwork in place. Fister, for instance, underwent a DNA test along with his daughter at the US Consulate, for the child’s birth certificate. This was followed by an interview at the Foreign Registration Office at Uranium Haveli for the child’s visa. At this point even the surrogate mother was also interviewed and her consent taken.

US citizen Brad Fister (29) carefully cradled his 22-day-old baby who carries his genes but is ‘made’ at 'Kiran Infertility Center', before he leaves for Kentucky, US, where he lives with his same- sex partner Michael. Fister said he was very happy he was leaving India with ‘his’ daughter!

The happy Shannon and Patri Friedmann (from California, USA) with Dr Kiran. Their baby girl Iselle was born on 30-Aug 2010.

The efforts to utilize science has set benchmarks in the cases of unfortunate childless, infertile and post menopause women becoming mothers. A patient aged 52 years (resident of Hyderabad ,India) with primary infertility, had come to inquire regarding the possibilities of pregnancy post menopause by Oocyte donation from her young relative and sperm from her husband (aged about 63 years). On general examination, she was found to be Mild Hypertensive with a weight of about 60 kgs. She was menopausal since the past 4 years and this was confirmed by blood investigations and Ultra sonography.

With the consent of both the husband and wife for the procedure, the Patient was kept on the hormone Estrogen, to which she responded by producing Endometrium lining. After 25 days of Estrogen Therapy (on 5th October 2001), she underwent embryo transfer, where three embryos were transferred and she was kept on hormonal support. The Oocyte was donated by one of her relatives (aged about 25 years) who already had children.

She tested positive to a Pregnancy test (24th October 2001) and on Ultra sonography. (1st November 2001), she was detected to have a viable Intrauterine pregnancy. Then on, she was routinely under observation, the well being of the pregnancy being monitored by Ultra sonography. She carried the pregnancy till term and underwent a Caesarian section (13 June 2002), delivering a male baby weighing 2.8Kgs (6.17 Lbs). The baby and her elated mother were discharged from the hospital after 72 hrs

A patient, who after 14 missed abortions, had successfully delivered a boy baby after taking treatment at our Clinic. This is one of our greatest achievements.

I am very very happy and do not have words to express my feelings and the respect I have for you and Dr. Kiran. We are writing this letter to express our great appreciation for your patience, dedication and work. Before we come to you our life was at all time low. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and our freedom to think without stress like we had in last few years. Thanks to you & your entire team. We are thankful everyday that we were able to get treatment from your hands.

Visiting Sai Kiran IVF Clinic has sure changed our lives. I thank God for the day we took the decision to visit Hyderabad and meet you. I would recommend or rather request other couples with similar problems to immediately visit Sai Kiran Infertility Clinic to get their problems sorted out. Thank you once again Doctors.

Jyothsna and Ashok

Mulu and myself are proud parents of little Matthew, wonderful little creature.We thank you for all your emotional support all step of the way. I felt bad I did not write you lately. I just did not want to bother you.

What was interesting was that Mulu had a PROM at 28 weeks of gestation and had to be in hospital for over 6 weeks in strict bed rest. Luckily Matthew did not need to be incubated, to be on oxygen or even to go to NICU.

He was as active as he should be and three days after her C/S, we went home. Now we are enjoying every moment of our time with him. It is an amassing feeling.

I am reading good reviews about your clinic and please keep up the good work.

Keep in touch.

If you happen to come to the US , please e-mail me in advance so that we arrange a visit to our home and places of interest.

Say hi to your mother and all the staff.

Thank you again

We have been together over 10 years and have been trying to start a family for the last five years with no success, when a friend mentioned we should check into surrogacy in India . We were in contact with the Kiran clinic and before we knew it we booked our trip to India . We felt very welcomed at Kiran clinic and Dr. Samit took the time to answer all our questions. We are happy to announce we are pregnant, about 22 weeks along. We can not wait to go back to India the end of November to pick up our new baby. A big thank you to Dr. Samit and all the other IP we have met thus far in this journey. Of course the biggest thanks goes to our surrogate, who is giving us the best gift of all.

Thank you everyone. We really appreciate! We would like to make a special thank to Dr. Samit, Dr Kiran and all the members of their staff for their professionalism and dedication. Our most cherished dream is now reality! We are very grateful to the clinic because without their support, we could never have fulfilled the dream of having kids. Thank you again.

Twenty six hours on the plane and I'm finally home. Thank you Dr. Samit and Anjani for being such wonderful hosts. Everything was perfect. Your thoughfulness and attention to detail made my stay effortless. India is a country very unlike the U.S. and without your help I could never had managed. India is lovely country and Kristy and I are hoping to explore more of it on our return visit, if we should be so blessed.

Dear Dr. Samit & Anjani,

We have returned home safe and sound.
Thank you so much for your excellent service.
It is amazing to think we've come so far as to enter into surrogacy agreement far away from Japan, but we have no anxiety about our decision, now that we know you are providing the best treatment possible for us.

The welcome dinner over local music at an elegant restaurant in Taj Krishna was tasty and enjoyable.
Above all, it is really nice to have a chance to know more about our doctor and coordinator.
(I am sending a photo of the dinner.)

Manon and Marc- who had twins in January 2011!

Message from a proud new Dad…: It is with immense and indescribable happiness that I'm announcing the birth of our twins: Maika, our daughter and Yanni, our son! Both were born on January 30, 2011 in beautiful INDIA!! About a week after birth, they were discharged from a good hospital and came with us at the hotel!! Another magic moment. The family's arrival at the Taj hotel was greeted and celebrated by wonderful staff member and friends with a beautiful cake and words of welcome offered by the employees of the hotel who so kindly took us under their wing.

Not even 2 weeks and 2 days later, we are on our way home! We will miss India and can't wait to come back.

Magic? A little bit yes but mostly, we owe all this to our wonderful Surrogate, to Dr Samit, to the KIRAN CLINIC amazing team, and to all the loving people who have supported us in this adventure. Thank you!!

I can't finish without thanking my wonderful wife. We hoped for children for almost ten years but life had other plans for us… I almost lost my love to a severe paralysis and it is with love, courage, and determination that she stayed alive. We would have never thought that a few years later she was to bring us all the way to India so we would realize our lifelong dream of becoming parents.

In June 2010 we were heading to India and already a couple of weeks later, our Surrogate was pregnant! Only a few months have passed since and we were already back to India welcoming our twins to the world; the love of our lives!

Our path is neither simple nor traditional but we would not change a thing. Having a surrogate in India is an experience filled with love and gratitude. Two families helping each other from one side of the planet to the other and who completely and mutually transform each other's life. Every cell of our being is grateful for these extraordinary women who have helped us build our family. On her part, our surrogate's and her family's life has also been transformed. This experience, filled with sensitivity, demonstrates that simple and fundamental family values transcend geography and culture. Our meeting with our Surrogate transformed us. Love and gratitude, felt by both sides, made the words useless and completely broke down language barriers.

When I see my wife tenderly holding and looking a our little Maika and little Yanni, I have the profound feeling and conviction that all is right in the universe. YES, WE'RE PARENTS!

Michael Milligan

A truly incredicle time in our lives. Thanks to everyone at KIC who made this miracle happen.

Katarzyna Lopez

We booked our tickets from Toronto, Canada to New York City and we will be there to share our experience! Still long way to go for us, but so far so good. We are confident we will get a baby with the help of Dr. Samit and Kiran Staff :o). If any of you have questions please message me and see you all in New York City on Dec/10! Kate

Our twins are now 5 months old!!! Both are still very healthy, growing fast, and of course...the greatest love of our lives.

We are very happy parents and we are still having a hard time believing how amazingly lucky we are:) We sometimes receive questions from other IPs so we thought we would share more details about our amazing journey with you all:)

After only 2 weeks+2days in India last February 2011, we brought back our newborn twins home without any problem at all!! All our fears, one after the other, just vanished as we saw how well everything was managed by the Clinic. Dr. Samit at the Kiran Clinic is the amazing Embryologist who has accompanied us all along this journey towards parenthood. The best advice we can give you is to ask Dr. Samit directly all your medical questions and to trust he's going to make every effort to guide you honestly and kindly. He and his great team of professionals have been our guides in our journey and we have built solid trust in them. Before we went back a second time to welcome our babies to the world, we had the immense pleasure to meet Dr Samit and his team during our first trip to India. We keep the fantastic memories of it all.

At the very beginning of our journey, we had to chose a clinic and that's when we used all our contacts. We have Canadian and American citizenships. We called people in different Embassies, contacts in India, etc. We were literally obsessed researching and were afraid we would not make the right decision. Although we both have very demanding professions, this was the most stressful thing we had ever done. After all, isn't it THE biggest, most important and most amazing thing we would ever do in our lives....

We kept on receiving good reviews about the Kiran Clinic everywhere we asked. From day one we knew we had chosen the right team. We were and are still very happy with our choice:)

The Indian authorities worked very efficiently with the Clinic's representative. All went very smoothly and our case manager from the Clinic was giving us all we needed as we needed it. On our side, we were very well prepared and had taken a lot of time to gather all that was required months in advance.

Although the team of experts at Kiran are the best people to guide you with their extended expertise, if you have ANY other question, we will be happy to share our experience with you. Please, don't hesitate as it genuinely is our pleasure. Not so long ago, we were at the starting point too; lost in the unknown. Best of luck to the other IPs out there!

Kindest regards,
Manon and Marc

So far so good in India. Dr Samit and the crew have taken good care of us - we have a full time nanny, which is incredibly helpful! Wanted to share a group picture with our twins, Owen and Alexandra! "

Dear Dr Samit and Anjani

Happy New Year! It is hard to believe but our little Stefan is now 8 months old. He is a healthy and happy baby and very much a people person. Not yet crawling but almost there. We never really had a chance to properly thank you and your clinic for your assistance throughout all this. Obviously, there was alot to stress and steps to pass through which meant at times that we were abit uncertain and not always at our best. However, we greatly appreciate your efforts and hope your clinic is continuing to bring joy to people's lives. Stefan is truly our dream come true.
Attached is a photo of Stefan.
Best wishes
Young-Mee and Chris
