Hearty Congratulation to Mr.Cory Howland from the USA on the birth of his Son- 3.5 kilograms .the boy was born a couple of days ago and is doing well. the American Post birth process is by far the easiest compared to other countries-it is simple and straightforward,the latin american countries such as Brasil,Argentina comes a close second followed by Canada and Spain.Australia is also straightforward but time consuming-30 to 40 days. UK by far is the Worst in terms of processing citizenship and passport applications and will take anywhere between 4 to 6 months.
when we did our first UK case in 2006/7,it was so much simpler- 14 days however when more and more people started to go abroad for Surrogacy they decided to tighten things by extending the time frame slowly but surely,perhaps under the impression that it will prevent people from going abroad for surrogacy. well it did not actually happen that way and we still get a lot of Folks from UK for Surrogacy in India and Nepal as well and they are not deterred by the time frame to leave India with their baby/ies.

Surrogacy for Spanish Couple
Jose and Linda from Spain sent me this really beautiful video of their twins born in may 2015 with the help of our Nepal Program. so happy for them that they have gone back home and settled in nicely.
it took them about a month to get the passport and citizenship from the spanish consulate in new Delhi
they were our first spanish case in KTM and the second Case of Ariel and Guillermo was a lot faster in terms of obtaining citizenship and passport.

whenever i go to Kathmandu it is always like a working holiday for me,even though i go for a very short time.
it is a beautiful Valley City Surrounded by Mountains on all sides, it is densely populated and the people are extremely helpful,friendly,Religious and laid back.
i love the plane ride from New Delhi to Kathmandu,if you are lucky and the sky is clear you get a very nice view of the Himalayas!!
i especially love the food in Kathmandu,it is delicious to say the least,a lot like Indian food but the quality of the meat is amazing,being Hindu i eat only Lamb,Chicken and Sea food and i doubt we get the same quality of meat here in India.every street is dotted with all kinds of Eating joints which cater to all budgets.
the hotels are lovely in KTM,this time i stayed at the Park Village resort which is huge and on the outskirts of the city.it is a lovely place to be staying with your Babies post birth because it has a lot of open space and greenery! no wonder a majority of the IP's who have had babies born recently are staying there.it has a calming and soothing affect on you and the staff at the Resort will teach you to meditate and do Yoga etc.
Till now we have had 12 babies born through our Surrogacy program in Kathmandu for Spanish,American and Australian Intended parents and 9 of them have gotten Citizenship/passport and exits for their babies. http://surrogacycenternepal.com/gallery/
the remaining 3 babies-twins for a spanish couple and a baby girl for the Australian couple are awaiting their passports and exits which should happen this week. we now have the distinction of being the first centre in Kathmandu to have delivered babies for Australians,Spanish and American Intended parents.
A word of Appreciation for the Authorities in Nepal,it's been a little over 2 months since the big one hit KTM but passing through the streets and looking from the roof tops it does not appear like there was ever an Earthquake.
pretty much everything is back to normal and am very happy for kathmandu and it's People!!

Surrogacy in Nepal
our First Australian twins received their passports yesterday evening.
it took about 4 weeks from the time of submission of the Correct documents for the AHC to issue Citizenship and passports,so congratulations to the Parents Nick and Fabian.
the process was not easy but with the correct documentation in place things should be fine,being the first case for Australians in Kathmandu there were a few hurdles but with the right team in place things will go well.
Another baby was born to an Australian couple Rebecca and Lenny on sunday afternoon.
she weighed 2 kilos and was born a little early at 35 weeks but is doing well. so congratulations to them as well,they were our first Intended parents who signed up with us for our Nepalese Surrogacy program.
Kathmandu is coping well,things are picking up pace on a daily basis,they want Tourism to come back to KTM as soon as possible because their economy survives on Tourism,the Nepalese are a very religious lot and they are confident that God will help them overcome the difficulties

The First Surrogacy babies born in Kathmandu went back to the USA last week.So congratulations to Martin Ramey and his Family
the total processing time for the American passports was about 3 weeks
since it was the first ever case in Kathmandu for American nationals there were some new things to learn,some extra paperwork.
The US consulate in KTM needs the Surrogate mother to go to the Embassy to sign a waiver of parental rights which is not required in Hyderabad.
The other American Case-Vincent should get passports for his Babies this week and should be able to fly back early next week.
Another American case- Vijay is going to the embassy today for His DNA testing.
The first ever Australian Case has submitted the citizenship application and received a positive DNA match for their twins.they shall be submitting their application for passport this week.
the first ever Spanish case has an appointment with the honorary consulate in Spain tomorrow.
things are going well so far and coming back to normal slowly and steadily and i pray it continues that way.

On 23rd of September i was in New Delhi where i was invited to be part of a panel Discussion on issues related to Surrogacy in India,the Conference was organised by CSR which is a national body working on issues related to Gender equality and Empowerment of women.
Their head Dr.Ranjana Kumari is a dynamic lady who has been working for causes related to upliftment of women in India for the last 35 years.it was a heated debate between the Pro and Anti Surrogacy Groups but everyone did reach a consensus that there should be more transparency and more public awareness to be created about Surrogacy in INDIA.
it was a wonderful experience to hear from Dr.R.S.Sharma who is the main in charge for drafting of the ART draft bill which includes the laws related to Surrogacy in INDIA and catching up with the leading practitioners of ART in the country.

Ganapati Pooja at KIC-Ganesha also spelled Ganesh, and also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is a widely worshipped God in Hinduism.His image is found throughout India and Nepal.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains, Buddhists, and beyond India and some of Our Patients from Abroad also have kept Ganesha Idols with them because they believe that Ganesha will bless them with a child.
Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the God of intellect and wisdom.As the God of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.

Landmark bill to permit gay couples as well as single men and women in
Israel to obtain surrogacy services overcame a major hurdle Sunday when
it was approved by the cabinet, overturning an appeal by Housing
Minister Uri Ariel. The legislation is set to be presented for a Knesset
vote at a later date, and will likely pass into law.
