The main point is that clients can work with Brightff.com families even if they already know their gestational carrier or intended parents.

• Jenn White, CEO at Bright Futures Families, explained the Independent Match program allows independent matches while still providing full agency support from screening through birth.

• The agency handles all medical screening for the carrier just like in the full-service program.

• Support continues from the moment of matching until after the baby’s birth.

• Monthly agency fees start only after medical records are approved by the clinic.

• This approach reduces financial risk for intended parents if records are not approved.

Transcript:Hey everyone, it's Jenn White, CEO with Bright Futures Families, with this week's Ask Question, which is can I still work with brightff com families if I already know my gestational carrier or my intended parents? We can flip this question either way, quite honestly and the answer is absolutely you can. So we have something called an _Indy Match_ program and you can come to us when you're independently matched. We will still handle all of the screening for the gestational carrier, make sure that everything is done just like we would for our regular full service agency program and then we still support all the way through the Match_ from moment of matching which obviously is right when you come to us all the way through until birth of the baby and beyond.
And we actually since our agency fee is taken monthly and it doesn't begin until medical records are accepted by the clinic, if it turns out for some reason your records aren't approved, things like that, then there's really not as much risk for the intended parents. So I hope that helps.
